Vehicle antilock systems play a very important role in the stability and reliability during vehicle braking. Due to the complexity of the braking process, antilock braking system (ABS) usually face the problems such as nonlinearity, time-varying, and uncertain parameter modeling. Thus, aiming at the parameter model uncertainty problem of ABS, an adaptive neural network sliding mode controller (ADRBF-SMC) is designed in this paper. On this basis, establishing the quarter-vehicle model and the seven-degree-offreedom vehicle model, and treating the difference between the two models as a kind of disturbance, carrying out vehicle braking performance simulation experiments to analyze the variation of braking performance parameters such as vehicle and wheel speeds, slip ratio, braking distance, braking torque, under the three cases of adaptive neural network sliding mode controller, traditional sliding mode controller, and no control. Simulation results show that the adaptive neural network sliding mode controller (ADRBF-SMC) proposed in this paper can play an effective control role in both vehicle dynamics models. In addition, the control method proposed in this paper has stronger anti-interference capability and higher robustness compared with the sliding mode controller (SMC)....
This paper offers a system for an electric vehicle. It consists of digitally controlling an induction motor without using a speed sensor. The machine is powered by a five-level cascading H-bridge inverter. The SVM control principle is used to manage the status of the five-level inverter; this removes harmonics. The H-bridge inverter converter is powered by photovoltaic sources via a serial converter, using the maximum power point tracker control principle. This structure can also reduce shading losses. In the absence of a mechanical sensor, a dynamic model of the asynchronous machine is utilized with the state variables defined in the stator reference frame. The state vector consists of the components of the rotor flux and stator current. The article provides a comparison of two methods widely used on an induction motor drive. The adaptive model-reference system method and Luenberger observer are evaluated using an active control strategy to reject disturbances to minimize the impact of disturbances. The operating principles of each method are described, and the mathematical models of training systems are developed. Both methods provide a promise for high-speed estimate applications in simulation environments. The simulation results obtained show the correct operation of both observers. Perfect decoupling between the velocity and flow control loops is observed, taking into account any disturbances that may affect the system....
The voltage source converter-based multi-terminal DC transmission (VSC-MTDC) system can use additional frequency control to respond to the frequency change of faulty AC system. However, the control coefficient of traditional additional frequency control is mostly fixed, and the control flexibility is insufficient, so it cannot be adjusted adaptively according to the frequency change of the system. Therefore, a frequency control strategy of the VSC-MTDC system based on fuzzy logic control is proposed. Based on the DC voltage slope controller, this strategy introduces an additional frequency controller based on fuzzy logic control, takes the frequency deviation and frequency change rate as the additional controller input, and dynamically adjusts the control quantity through the fuzzy logic control link to realize the adaptive adjustment of the VSC-MTDC system to the AC system’s frequency. Finally, a three-terminal flexible HVDC system is built on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform for simulation verification. The results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively use the flexible DC system to support the frequency of the AC system and significantly improve the frequency stability of the faulty AC system....
This paper proposes a model predictive speed control strategy for a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor by applying Laguerre functions. The model predictive controller (MPC) incorporates an integrator. A quadratic programming procedure is applied to solve the constrained optimization problem online. The paper also provides a solution for stability. The performance efficiency of the proposed scheme is validated by comparing the results with the performance of an optimal linear quadratic regulator, conventional state-space model predictive control, and a simple MPC algorithm with integral action. Extensive simulation results confirm the efficacy of the proposed scheme, showing that it achieves good steady-state performance while maintaining a fast dynamic response....
The ball and beam experimental platform is an unstable nonlinear system widely used as a benchmark control setup for testing different controller approaches, especially for beginners on automatic control to improve their control knowledge skills. In this paper, we innovate it by governing the angular position of the beam with a twin-rotor system. Our experiment consists of a beam that rotates through a pivot, in which two propellers are attached to the ends of this beam. Hence, we have a recent one-degree aerial device, and instead of using a ball, we employ a mass moving on the beam, presenting friction on position to its movements on the beam. Then, the control objective is to regulate the mass position at some predefined zone on the beam, ensuring stability and robustness in front of external perturbations and unmodeled uncertainties. To do so, we define a classical PI controller. To assess closed-loop robustness, a mass was introduced to one propeller to induce perturbation, thereby simulating modeling variations or disturbances. The experimental results prove the goodness of our experimental platform for drone applications....
