Design of a Fractional Order CRONE and PID Controllers for Nonlinear Systems using Multimodel Approach

This paper deals with the output regulation of nonlinear control systems in order to guarantee desired performances in the presence of plant parameters variations. The proposed control law structures are based on the fractional order PI (FOPI) and the CRONE control schemes. By introducing the multimodel approach in the closed-loop system, the presented design methodology of fractional PID control and the CRONE control guarantees desired transients. Then, the multimodel approach is used to analyze the closed-loop system properties and to get explicit expressions for evaluation of the controller parameters. The tuning of the controller parameters is based on a constrained optimization algorithm. Simulation examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method

Texture classification of fabric defects using machine learning

In this paper, a novel algorithm for automatic fabric defect classification was proposed, based on the combination of a texture analysis method and a support vector machine SVM. Three texture methods were used and compared, GLCM, LBP, and LPQ. They were combined with SVM’s classifier. The system has been tested using TILDA database. A comparative study of the performance and the running time of the three methods was carried out. The obtained results are interesting and show that LBP is the best method for recognition and classification and it proves that the SVM is a suitable classifier for such problems. We demonstrate that some defects are easier to classify than others

Fault-tolerant and QoS based Network Layer for Security Management

Wireless sensor networks have profound effects on many application fields like security management which need an immediate, fast and energy efficient route. In this paper, we define a fault-tolerant and QoS based network layer for security management of chemical products warehouse which can be classified as real-time and mission critical application. This application generate routine data packets and alert packets caused by unusual events which need a high reliability, short end to end delay and low packet loss rate constraints. After each node compute his hop count and build his neighbors table in the initialization phase, packets can be routed to the sink. We use FELGossiping protocol for routine data packets and node-disjoint multipath routing protocol for alert packets. Furthermore, we utilize the information gathering phase of FELGossiping to update the neighbors table and detect the failed nodes, and we adapt the network topology changes by rerun the initialization phase when chemical units were added or removed from the warehouse. Analysis shows that the network layer is energy efficient and can meet the QoS constraints of unusual events packets

Observer Design for Takagi-Sugeno Descriptor System with Lipschitz Constraints

This paper investigates the design problem of observers for nonlinear descriptor systems described by Takagi-Sugeno (TS) system; Depending on the available knowledge on the premise variables two cases are considered. First a TS descriptor system with measurables premises variables are proposed. Second, an observer design which satisfying the Lipschitz condition is proposed when the premises variables are unmeasurables. The convergence of the state estimation error is studied using the Lyapunov theory and the stability conditions are given in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Examples are included to illustrate those methods.Comment: 13 pages,5 figures; International Journal of Instrumentation and Control Systems (IJICS) Vol.2, No.2, April 201

Enlarging the Domain of Attraction in Nonlinear Polynomial Systems

This paper addresses the problem of enlarging the Domain of Attraction (DA)  based on a Generalized Eigenvalue Problem (GEVP)  approach. The main contribution of the present development is the maximization of the (DA)  while characterizing the asymptotic stability region by a Lyapunov Function. Such result is obtained using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) . A theoretical proof of the validity of the obtained domain is developed. An illustrative example ends the paper

Modeling and Simulation of Induction Motor based on Finite Element Analysis

This paper presents the development of a co-simulation platform of induction motor (IM). For the simulation, a coupled model is introduced which contains the control, the power electronics and also the induction machine. Each of these components is simulated in different software environments. So, this study provides an advanced modeling and simulation tools for IM which integrate all the components into one common simulation platform environment. In this work, the IM is created using Ansys-Maxwell based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA), whereas the power electronic converter is developed in Ansys-Simplorer and the control scheme is build in MATLAB-Simulink environment. Such structure can be useful for accurate design and allows coupling analysis for more realistic simulation. This platform is exploited to analyze the system models with faults caused by failures of different drive’s components. Here, two studies cases are presented: the first is the effects of a faulty device of the PWM inverter, and the second case is the influence of the short circuit of two stator phases. In order to study the performance of the control drive of the IM under fault conditions, a co-simulation of the global dynamic model has been proposed to analyze the IM behavior and control drives. In this work, the co-simulation has been performed; furthermore the simulation results of scalar control allowed verifying the precision of the proposed FEM platform
