Fuzzy reference model H∞H_{\infty} integral fuzzy maximum power tracking of WECS based-on DFIG

International audienceThis paper presents a new fuzzy control design for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) using a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on H∞ optimal control. In the first place, a new nonlinear reference model is developed for describing the optimal dynamic of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). In the second place, the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of the real system and its reference model are represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model. Then, using a fuzzy proportional integral state feedback controller, a novel MPPT strategy for DFIG-based wind energy conversion systems is investigated. The H∞ criteria performance is used to design a robust fuzzy proportional integral state controller under varying wind speed. The H∞ stabilisation conditions are generated and given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The estimation of the largest set invariance conditions are proposed as a LMI convex optimization problem. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed fuzzy integral state controller gives a good disturbance rejection and MPPT rapid convergence in the presence of wind's gusts

Robust Saturated Control Based Static Output Feedback for Steering Control of the Autonomous Vehicle via Non Quadratic Lyapunov Function

International audienceThis chapter presents a robust nonlinear H∞ Static Output Feedback control (SOF) design for steering control of the autonomous vehicle under actuator saturation, external disturbances, and taking into account the unavailability of the sideslip angle. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) approach is used to model both the lateral and lane keeping dynamics of autonomous vehicles. Based on the non-quadratic Lyapunov approach, a static output Feedback controller based on non-compensation parallel distributed technic the H∞ stabilization conditions without saturation are developed. Then, a polytopic representation of the actuator saturation is investigated to express the robust non-qudratiquc stabilisation conditions of Vehicle lateral dynamic control with input constraints in term of LMIs. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed controllers can stabilize the closed-loop system and present great lane-keeping and external disturbance rejection performances

Dynamic anti-windup controller design for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems under saturations

International audienceThis paper presents a new H∞ anti-windup dynamic output control developed for a class of nonlinear systems subject to both sensors and actuators saturations. First, the nonlinear system under consideration is represented by a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. Then, a dynamic output feedback (DOF) control strategy is proposed and the saturation constraints are transformed into dead-zone nonlinearities. Based on this transformation and by using the sector condition, the H∞ dynamic output stabilization conditions of the closed-loop system are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Finally, a numerical example is simulated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed design method

H ∞ fuzzy proportional integral state feedback controller of photovoltaic systems under asymmetric actuator constraints

International audienceThis paper presents a new strategy for a robust maximum power point (MPP) tracking fuzzy controller for photovoltaic (PV) systems subject to actuator asymmetric saturation. A DC-DC boost converter is used to connect a PV panel with an output load. The output voltage of the DC-DC boost converter can be adjusted by duty ratio that is limited between 0 and 1. The aim of our control design is to track the MPP under atmospheric condition changes and the presence of the asymmetric saturation of the duty ratio. To minimize tracking error and disturbance effect, the dynamic behaviour of a PV system and its reference model are described by using Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models. Then, a constrained control based on a fuzzy PI state feedback controller is proposed. The H∞ control approach is used in control design and stability conditions of the closed-loop system are formulated and solved in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, simulation results are given to show the tracking performance of the control design

Multi-objective H 2 /H ∞ saturated non-PDC static output feedback control for path tracking of autonomous vehicle

International audienceThis paper presents a new fuzzy output feedback control design for autonomous vehicle steering under actuator saturation, unavailability of the sideslip angle measurement, unknown road curvature, and lateral wind force. To take into account the actuator constraint, the saturation effect is transformed into dead-zone nonlinearity. A static output controller based on non-compensation parallel distributed technic and a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model of vehicle lateral dynamics is proposed to consider the unavailability of some vehicle states. To avoid the problem of imposing bounds on membership functions time derivatives resulting from the use of the fuzzy Lyapunov approach, a proper integral structure based on the non-quadratic Lyapunov approach is investigated. The mixed [Formula: see text] stabilization conditions of the augmented closed-loop system are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, the robustness and the advantages of the proposed approaches are demonstrated through different tests

Adaptive fuzzy observer based non-quadratic control for nonlinear system subject to actuator faults and saturation

International audienceThis paper provides a new non-quadratic stabilization conditions based on adaptive fuzzy observer for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems subject to external disturbances and both actuator faults and saturation. Firstly, an observer based fault tolerant control (FTC) is proposed, not only to estimate both system states and actuator faults but also to compensate for the actuator faults and to stabilize the faulty system with input constraints. The saturation effect is transformed into dead-zone nonlinearity and the generalized sector bound condition is used to estimate the attraction domain. To less the conservatism of the quadratic Lyapunov technique, a proper integral structure based on the non-quadratic function is investigated. The H∞ criteria is considered and the robust stabilization conditions of the faulty closed-loop system are expressed as a linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) optimization problem. Finally, the robustness and the advantages of the proposed approach are demonstrated through a mixed CSTR and a numerical example

Robust mixed H2/H∞ fuzzy tracking control of photovoltaic system subject to asymmetric actuator saturation

International audienceThis paper focuses on mixed [Formula: see text] fuzzy maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of photovoltaic (PV) system under asymmetric saturation and variations in climatic conditions. To maximize the power from the PV panel array, the DC–DC boost converter is controlled by its duty ratio which is practically saturated between 0 and 1. MPPT based on conventional control presents the problems of oscillations around maximum power point (MPP) and divergence under rapid climatic changes. In order to attenuate the effect of atmospheric condition variation and take into account asymmetric saturation of the duty ratio, we propose a novel robust saturated controller based on both [Formula: see text] performances and Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) representation of PV-boost nonlinear system. Within this approach, the nonlinear PV-boost system and its reference are first described by T-S fuzzy models. Second, the saturation effect is represented by a polytopic model. Then, a fuzzy integral state feedback controller is designed to achieve stable MPPT control. Based on Lyapunov function, the mixed [Formula: see text] stabilization conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The optimization of the attraction domain of closed-loop system is solved as a convex optimization problem in LMI terms. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed controller under irradiance and temperature variations is demonstrated through the simulation results. The comparison with some existing controllers shows an improvement of MPPT control performance in terms of power extraction
