Optimization of PID Controller Based on PSOGSA for an Automatic Voltage Regulator System

AbstractThis paper presents an optimal Proportional Integral Derivate (PID) controller design for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) system using a new hybrid devised from the Particle Swarm Optimization and the Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSOGSA). The transient response analysis and bode analysis were considered to show the effectiveness of the design technique. Moreover, the comparison of the results between the proposed approach and other techniques such as the Ziegler-Nichols (ZN) tuning method, the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) tuning method and the Many Optimizing Liaisons (MOL) tuning method have been given. According to the analysis, the proposed PSOGSA algorithm gives better results than other techniques for the AVR system

A Non-Fragile H∞ Output Feedback Controller for Uncertain Fuzzy Dynamical Systems with Multiple Time-Scales

This paper determines the designing of a non-fragile H∞ output feedback controller for a class of nonlinear uncertain dynamical systems with multiple timescales described by a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. Based on a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, we develop a non-fragile H∞ output feedback controller which guarantees the L2-gain of the mapping from the exogenous input noise to the regulated output to be less than some prescribed value for this class of uncertain fuzzy dynamical systems with multiple time-scales. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the design developed in this paper

The linear quadratic regulator problem for a class of controlled systems modeled by singularly perturbed Ito differential equations

This paper discusses an infinite-horizon linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem involving state- and control-dependent noise in singularly perturbed stochastic systems. First, an asymptotic structure along with a stabilizing solution for the stochastic algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) are newly established. It is shown that the dominant part of this solution can be obtained by solving a parameter-independent system of coupled Riccati-type equations. Moreover, sufficient conditions for the existence of the stabilizing solution to the problem are given. A new sequential numerical algorithm for solving the reduced-order AREs is also described. Based on the asymptotic behavior of the ARE, a class of O(√ε) approximate controller that stabilizes the system is obtained. Unlike the existing results in singularly perturbed deterministic systems, it is noteworthy that the resulting controller achieves an O(ε) approximation to the optimal cost of the original LQ optimal control problem. As a result, the proposed control methodology can be applied to practical applications even if the value of the small parameter ε is not precisely known. © 2012 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.Vasile Dragan, Hiroaki Mukaidani and Peng Sh

Research Letter Selective Decoding Scheme-MAC Protocol in Ad Hoc Networks with MIMO Links

A problem encountered in the IEEE 802.11 MAC is the collision of simultaneous transmissions from either neighboring nodes or hidden nodes within the same contention floor. This paper presents the selective decoding schemes in MAC (SDS-MAC) protocol for MIMO ad hoc networks. It is able to mitigate interferences by means of a minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) technique. As a result, it allows a pair of simultaneous transmissions to the same or different nodes to yield the network utilization increase. The decoding schemes and time line operations are properly selected corresponding to the transmission demand of neighboring nodes to avoid collision. Transmission demand can be determined by the number of RTS packets and type of CTS packets. Simulation results are given to illustrate the SDS-MAC performance

H∞ and L2–L∞ filtering for two-dimensional linear parameter-varying systems

This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Wiley-BlackwellIn this paper, the H∞ and l2–l∞ filtering problem is investigated for two-dimensional (2-D) discrete-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems. Based on the well-known Fornasini–Marchesini local state-space (FMLSS) model, the mathematical model of 2-D systems under consideration is established by incorporating the parameter-varying phenomenon. The purpose of the problem addressed is to design full-order H∞ and l2–l∞ filters such that the filtering error dynamics is asymptotic stable and the prescribed noise attenuation levels in H∞ and l2–l∞ senses can be achieved, respectively. Sufficient conditions are derived for existence of such filters in terms of parameterized linear matrix inequalities (PLMIs), and the corresponding filter synthesis problem is then transformed into a convex optimization problem that can be efficiently solved by using standard software packages. A simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed design method

A novel robust H1 fuzzy state-feedback control design on nonlinear Markovian jump systems with time-varyin delay

This paper considers the problem of designing a robust H∞ fuzzy state-feedback controller for a class of nonlinear Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay. A novel design methodology has been proposed for designing a controller that guarantees the L2-gain of the mapping from the exogenous input noise to the regulated output to be less than some prescribed value. Solutions to the problem are provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities. To illustrate the effectiveness of the design developed in this paper, a numerical example is also provided

Further results on robust fuzzy dynamic systems with LMI D-stability constraints

This paper examines the problem of designing a robust H∞ fuzzy controller with D-stability constraints for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems which is described by a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. Fuzzy modelling is a multi-model approach in which simple sub-models are combined to determine the global behavior of the system. Based on a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, we develop a robust H∞ fuzzy controller that guarantees (i) the L2-gain of the mapping from the exogenous input noise to the regulated output to be less than some prescribed value, and (ii) the closed-loop poles of each local system to be within a specified stability region. Sufficient conditions for the controller are given in terms of LMIs. Finally, to show the effectiveness of the designed approach, an example is provided to illustrate the use of the proposed methodology
