This paper presents a robust current controller for a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor(SPMSM) by using a PI observer. The decoupling PI(proportional-integral) controller combined with an additional feed-forward compensation has been used for the current controller. The classical feed-forward compensation using velocity information and system parameters is not expected to achieve a robust performance against parameter uncertainties. This paper has adopted a PI observer for the feed-forward compensation to cope with parameter uncertainties without using velocity information. A simple PI observer has been designed to compensate the disturbances that represent velocity coupled terms and parameter uncertainties. Experimental results as well as computer simulations with 630W SPMSM confirm that the proposed approach can deal with the effects of the disturbance and improve the control performance.

In this paper, a systematic design of a robust nonlinear multivariable variable structure controller based on state dependent nonlinear form is presented for the control of MIMO uncertain affine nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and matched disturbance. After a MIMO uncertain affine nonlinear system is represented in the form of state dependent nonlinear system, a systematic design of a robust nonlinear variable structure controller is presented. To be linear in the closed loop resultant dynamics, the linear sliding surface is applied. A corresponding diagonalized control input is proposed to satisfy the closed loop global exponential stability and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the linear sliding surface, which will be investigated in Theorem 1. Through a design example and simulation study, the usefulness of the proposed controller is verified.

There are a lot of uncertainties in the severe accident phenomena and scenarios in nuclear power plants (NPPs) and one of the major issues for severe accident management is the reduction of these uncertainties. The severe accident management aid system using Probabilistic Safety Assessments (PSA) technology is developed for the management staff in order to reduce the uncertainties. The developed system includes the graphical display for plant and equipment status, previous research results by a knowledge-base technique, and the expected plant behavior using PSA. The plant model used in this paper is oriented to identify plant response and vulnerabilities via analyzing the quantified results, and to set up a framework for an accident management program based on these analysis results. Therefore the developed system may playa central role of information source for decision-making for severe accident management, and will be used as a training tool for severe accident management.

The regulation of currents in a three-phase load is an important issue for electric power systems. The most popular conventional method is a decoupling controller that compensates the coupling terms arising from DQ rotating frame transformation. Although the decoupling controller achieves decent performance in the absence of load parameter uncertainties, the variation of parameters causes performance to degrade intolerably. In this paper, we propose to use disturbance observer based controller to improve the control performance in spite of the parameter uncertainties. The computer simulation study validates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A robust adaptive position control algorithm is proposed for servomotor drive system with uncertainties and load disturbance. The proposed controller is comprised of a nominal controller and a robust control. The nominal controller is designed in the condition without all the external load disturbance, nonlinear friction and unpredicted uncertainties. The robust controller containing lumped uncertainty approximator using fuzzy-neural network(FNN) is designed to dispel the effect of uncertainties and load disturbance. The interconnection weight of the FNN can be online tuned in the sense of the Lyapunov stability theorem thus asymptotic stability of the proposed control system can be guaranteed. Finally, simulation results verify that the proposed control algorithm can achieve favorable tracking performance for the induction servomotor drive system.

An uncertainty propagation methodology based on the Monte Carlo method is applied to PWR nuclear design analysis to assess the impact of nuclear data uncertainties. The importance of the nuclear data uncertainties for $^{235,238}U$, $^{239}Pu$, and the thermal scattering library for hydrogen in water is analyzed. This uncertainty analysis is compared with the design and acceptance criteria to assure the adequacy of bounding estimates in safety margins.

Water resources management depends on dealing inherent uncertainties stemming from climatic and hydrological inputs and models. Dealing with these uncertainties remains a challenge. Streamflow forecasts basically contain uncertainties arising from model structure and initial conditions. Recent enhancements in climate forecasting skill and hydrological modeling provide an breakthrough for delivering improved streamflow forecasts. However, little consideration has been given to methodologies that include coupling both multiple climate and multiple hydrological models, increasing the pool of streamflow forecast ensemble members and accounting for cumulative sources of uncertainty. The approach here proposes integration and coupling of global climate models (GCM), multiple regional climate models, and numerous hydrological models to improve streamflow forecasting and characterize system uncertainty through generation of ensemble forecasts.

In previous work Kwon and Yoo [5] have shown that the FIR tracking algorithm using the input estimation technique. However, it has not solved the problem of systems with parameter uncertainties. Therefore, in this paper we propose a new robust $H_{\infty}$ FIR tracking filter to solve the target tracking problems under systems with parameter uncertainties. Also, we use here the input estimation approach to account for the possibility of maneuver. Simulation results show that the robust $H_{\infty}$ FIR tracking filter proposed here still has good tracking performance for a maneuvering target tracking problem even under all system parameter uncertainties.

Deregulations and market practices in power industry have brought great challenges to the system planning area. In particular, they introduce a variety of uncertainties to system planning. New techniques are required to cope with such uncertainties. As a promising approach, probabilistic methods are attracting more and more attentions by system planners. In small signal stability analysis, generation control parameters play an important role in determining the stability margin. The objective of this paper is to investigate power system state matrix sensitivity characteristics with respect to system parameter uncertainties with analytical and numerical approaches and to identify those parameters have great impact on system eigenvalues, therefore, the system stability properties. Those identified parameter variations need to be investigated with priority. The results can be used to help Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) perform planning studies under the open access environment.

This paper describes a robust and non-fragile $H_{\infty}$ controller design method for descriptor systems with parameter uncertainties and time delay, as well as a static state feedback controller with multiplicative uncertainty. The controller existence condition, as well as its design method, and the measure of non-fragility in the controller are proposed using linear matrix inequality(LMI) technique, which can be solved efficiently by convex optimization. Therefore, the presented robust and non-fragile $H_{\infty}$ controller guarantees the asymptotic stability and disturbance attenuation of the closed loop systems within a prescribed degree in spite of parameter uncertainties, time delay, disturbance input and controller fragility.
