Thermal management of a fuel cell is important to satisfy the requirements of durability and efficiency under varying load conditions. In this study, a linear state feedback controller was designed to maintain the temperature within operating conditions. Due to the nonlinearity of automotive fuel cell system, the state feedback controller results in marginal stable under load condition from $0.5A/cm^2$ to $0.7A/cm^2$. A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and the modified state feedback controller are applied to control the temperature under the load condition from $0.5A/cm^2$ to $0.7A/cm^2$. The cooling system model is composed of a reservoir, radiator, bypass valve, fan, and a water pump. The performance of the control algorithm was evaluated in terms of the integral time weighted absolute error (ITAE). Additionally, MATLAB/SIMULINK$^{(R)}$ was used for the development of the system models and controllers. The modified state feedback controller was found to be more effective for controlling temperature than other algorithms when tested under low load conditions.

Adaptive feed forward control algorithms based largely upon LMS approach have developed in recent two decades, and they have been widely applied to practical sound and vibration control problems in the case of the reference signal is available. Feedforward control can be applied only when reference signals can be measured or regenerated, while feedback controllers are used to reduce; sound and vibration when reference signals are not available. In recent years, hybrid control schemes in which adaptive feed forward controllers are combined with feedback ones have been studied based on simulations and experiments. The results have shown that the hybrid control may have better control performances in convergence speed and steady state error than the single control schemes. Hybrid control has the advantages of improving stability and performance as well as the disturbance rejection property. However, little effort has been made to the analysis or interpretation of hybrid control systems. In this study, we discussed the feedback controller effects on the stability of feed forward control algorithm in the presence of uncertain error path and a simple example showed that a stable feedback controller could make the feedforward controller unstable. A design criterion of feedback controllers is proposed in order to guarantee the stability of feedforward algorithms in the presence of error paths with uncertainties.

In this paper, we provide the technique of H$\infty$ controller design algorithm for input-saturated linear systems using a linear parameter varying(LPV) framework. The LPV controller with parameter dependent dynamic state feedback controller concept guarantees the asymtotic stability and H$\infty$ norm bound within prescribed level v using the saturation nonlinearity as scheduling parameters. Especially, the sufficient conditions for the existence of H$\infty$ controller are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) that can be solved very efficiently.

The controllers for a full car 7-DOF model with 4 active or semi-active suspension units are designed and evaluated in this research. The control algorithms for suspension systems, such as full state feedback active, full state feedback semi-active, sky-hook active, sky-hook semi-actvie, and on-off suspension systems, are analyzed and evaluated with respect to ride comfort. The vehicle dynamic performances are expressed by response curves to a bump input, performance indices for asphalt road input, and frequency characteristic curves. Heaving, rolling, and pitching inputs are applied to the vehicle dynamic system to evaluate frequency characteristics. The simulation results show that the ride quality of the sky-hook controller approaches that the full state feedback controller more closely in semi-active suspension system than in active suspension system. For the implementation of a vehicle with sky-hook suspension control systems in this paper, 7 velocity sensors are required to measure the states.

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback control of continuous-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems, which are represented by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models. A new method for designing state feedback stabilizing controllers is presented in terms of solvability of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and it is shown that the new design method provides better or at least the same results of the existing method in the literature. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents the state feedback control design for discrete time nonlinear systems where there exists a time delay in input. It is shown that under some boundedness condition, the time delay nonlinear systems can be transformed into the time delay linear systems with time varying parameters. Sufficient conditions for existence of stabilizing state feedback controller are characterized by linear matrix inequalities. Finally, an illustrative example is given in order to show the effectiveness of our design method.

In this paper, the sliding mode-model following(SM-MF) power system stabilizer(PSS) including closed-loop feedback(CLF) for single machine system is extended to multimachine system. Simulation results show that the SM-MF multimachine stabilizer is able to achieve asymptotic tracking error between the reference model state and the controlled plant state at different initial conditions.

This paper proposes a performance improvement to a control system with optimal state feedback control. In this paper, a simple and direct design procedure is proposed to design the model following controller. The scheme is implemented in a 16 bit micromputer with math corprocessor. Tests on a DC machine have been conducted.

Wall-following control problem for a mobile robot is to move it along a wall at a constant speed and keep a specified distance to the wall. This paper proposes wall-following controllers based on Lyapunov function candidate for a two-wheeled mobile robot (MR) to follow an unknown wall. The mobile robot is considered in terms of kinematic model in Cartesian coordinate system. Two wall-following feedback controllers are designed: full state feedback controller and observer-based controller. To design the former controller, the errors of distance and orientation of the mobile robot to the wall are defined, and the feedback controller based on Lyapunov function candidate is designed to guarantee that the errors converge to zero asymptotically. The latter controller is designed based on Busawon's observer as only the distance error is measured. Additionally, the simulation and experimental results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

A sliding mode control method using the parameterization of both the hyperplane and the compensator for output feedback and reduced observer is presented for rotational inverted pendulums. This control strategy overcomes the problem of unattainable velocity state which is resulted from severe noise of analogue sense and constructs numerical algorithms designs of dynamic output feedback sliding mode hyperplane and controller. The result of the experiment shows the superior performance compared with the LQ controller and the robustness with respect to both tapping disturbances and certain initial conditions.
