A design for a class of nonlinear systems with delay time using fuzzy logic

 The goal of this paper is to design a controller for a class of nonlinear systems with delay time using fuzzy logic. The control scheme considered in this paper integrates a fuzzy component and a sliding control component. In the former, the fuzzy system can be considered as a universal approximator to approximate the unknown functions in plant. In the latter, a variable structure control with a sector guarantees the global stability of the closed-loop system when a variable, involving tracking error, travels outside of the sector. The adaptive laws to adjust the parameters in the system are developed based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach. It is shown that the proposed adaptive controller guarantees tracking error, between the outputs of the considered system and desired␣values, to be asymptotical in decay.     

A new adaptive backstepping method for nonlinear control of turbine main steam valve

A new approach for nonlinear adaptive control of turbine main steam valve is developed. In comparison with the existing controller based on ＂classical＂ adaptive backstepping, this method does not follow the classical certaintyequivalence principle in the design of adaptive control law. We introduce this approach, for the first time, to power systems and present a novel parameter estimator and dynamic feedback controller for a single machine infinite bus （SMIB） system with steam valve control. This system contains unknown parameters such as reactance of transmission lines. Besides preserving useful nonlinearities and the real-time estimation of uncertain parameters, the proposed approach possesses better performances with respect to the response of the system and the speed of adaptation. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach is better than the design based on ＂classical＂ adaptive backstepping in terms of properties of stability and parameter estimation, and recovers the performance of the ＂full-information＂ controller. Hence, the proposed method provides an alternative for engineers in applications.     

Suboptimal control of linear stochastic multivariable systems with unknown parameters

An algorithm is proposed for suboptimal control of linear multivariable systems with unknown parameters and output noise covariances. This algorithm is based on the idea of explicitly separating the functions of identification, estimation and control. The parameters and states of the system are estimated in a bootstrap manner by the stochastic approximation method. A suboptimal controller is then obtained which utilizes a deterministic control gain derived using the estimates obtained from the parameter and state estimators. This suboptimal controller will approach the optimal strategy when the estimated system parameters approach their true values.

Position Control of a Flexible Manipulator Using a New Nonlinear Self-Tuning PID Controller

In this paper, a new nonlinear self-tuning PID controller(NSPIDC) is proposed to control the joint position and link deflection of a flexible-link manipulator(FLM) while it is subjected to carry different payloads. Since, payload is a critical parameter of the FLM whose variation greatly influences the controller performance. The proposed controller guarantees stability under change in payload by attenuating the non-modeled higher order dynamics using a new nonlinear autoregressive moving average with exogenous-input(NARMAX) model of the FLM. The parameters of the FLM are identified on-line using recursive least square(RLS) algorithm and using minimum variance control(MVC) laws the control parameters are updated in real-time. This proposed NSPID controller has been implemented in real-time on an experimental set-up. The joint tracking and link deflection performances of the proposed adaptive controller are compared with that of a popular direct adaptive controller(DAC). From the obtained results, it is confirmed that the proposed controller exhibits improved performance over the DAC both in terms of accurate position tracking and quick damping of link deflections when subjected to variable payloads.     

Adaptive synchronisation of unknown nonlinear networked systems with prescribed performance

This paper proposes an adaptive tracking control with prescribed performance function for distributive cooperative control of highly nonlinear multi-agent systems. The use of such approach confines the tracking error within a large predefined set to a predefined smaller set. The key idea is to transform the constrained system into unconstrained one through the transformation of the output error. Agents’ dynamics are assumed unknown, and the controller is developed for a strongly connected structured network. The proposed controller allows all agents to follow the trajectory of the leader node, while satisfying the necessary dynamic requirements. The proposed approach guarantees uniform ultimate boundedness for the transformed error as well as a bounded adaptive estimate of the unknown parameters and dynamics. Simulations include two examples to validate the robustness and smoothness of the proposed controller against highly nonlinear heterogeneous multi-agent system with uncertain time-variant parameters and external disturbances.

Model-Reference Fuzzy Adaptive Control as a Framework for Nonlinear System Control

The paper presents a general methodology of adaptive control based on fuzzy model to deal with unknown plants. The problem of parameter estimation is solved using a direct approach, i.e. the controller parameters are adapted without explicitly estimating plant parameters. Thus, very simple adaptive and control laws are obtained using Lyapunov stability criterion. The generality of the approach is substantiated by Stone-Weierstrass theorem, which indicates that any continuous function can be approximated by fuzzy basis function expansion. In the sense of adaptive control, this implies the adaptive law with fuzzified adaptive control parameters. The proposed control algorithm may be viewed as an extension of classical adaptive control for linear plants, but compared to the latter it provides higher adaptation ability and consequently better performance if the plant is nonlinear. The global stability of the control system is assured and the tracking error converges to the residual set that depends on fuzzification properties. The main advantage of the approach is simplicity that suits control engineers since wide range of industrial processes can be controlled by the proposed method. In the paper, the control of heat exchanger is performed.     

Direct adaptive fuzzy control for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems

This article presents a direct adaptive fuzzy control scheme for a class of uncertain continuous-time multi-input multi-output nonlinear (MIMO) dynamic systems. Within this scheme, fuzzy systems are employed to approximate an unknown ideal controller that can achieve control objectives. The adjustable parameters of the used fuzzy systems are updated using a gradient descent algorithm that is designed to minimize the error between the unknown ideal controller and the fuzzy controller. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is performed using a Lyapunov approach. In particular, it is shown that the tracking errors are bounded and converge to a neighborhood of the origin. Simulations performed on a two-link robot manipulator illustrate the approach and exhibit its performance.

Robust Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Systems with Unknown and Time‐Varying Saturation

In this paper, a robust adaptive fuzzy control approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems in strict‐feedback form with the unknown time‐varying saturation input. To deal with the time‐varying saturation problem, a novel controller separation approach is proposed in the literature to separate the desired control signal from the practical constrained control input. Furthermore, an optimized adaptation method is applied to the dynamic surface control design to reduce the number of adaptive parameters. By utilizing the Lyapunov synthesis, the fuzzy logic system technique and the Nussbaum function technique, an adaptive fuzzy control algorithm is constructed to guarantee that all the signals in the closed‐loop control system remain semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded, and the tracking error is driven to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in the literature.     

Neuro-fuzzy control of antilock braking system using sliding mode incremental learning algorithm

A neuro-fuzzy adaptive control approach for nonlinear dynamical systems, coupled with unknown dynamics, modeling errors, and various sorts of disturbances, is proposed and used to design a wheel slip regulating controller. The implemented control structure consists of a conventional controller and a neuro-fuzzy network-based feedback controller. The former is provided both to guarantee global asymptotic stability in compact space and as an inverse reference model of the response of the controlled system. Its output is used as an error signal by an incremental learning algorithm to update the parameters of the neuro-fuzzy controller. In this way the latter is able to gradually replace the conventional controller from the control of the system. The proposed new learning algorithm makes direct use of the variable structure systems theory and establishes a sliding motion in terms of the neuro-fuzzy controller parameters, leading the learning error toward zero. In the simulations and in the experimental studies, it has been tested on the control of antilock breaking system model and the analytical claims have been justified under the existence of uncertainty and large nonzero initial errors.     

Robust adaptive control of uncertain non-linear systems using neural networks

This paper presents a robust adaptive output feedback control design method for uncertain non-affine non-linear systems, which does not rely on state estimation. The approach is applicable to systems with unknown but bounded dimensions and with known relative degree. A neural network is employed to approximate the unknown modelling error. In fact, a neural network is considered to approximate and adaptively make ineffective unknown plant non-linearities. An adaptive law for the weights in the hidden layer and the output layer of the neural network are also established so that the entire closed-loop system is stable in the sense of Lyapunov. Moreover, the robustness of the system against the approximation error of neural network is achieved with the aid of an additional adaptive robustifying control term. In addition, the tracking error is guaranteed to be uniformly and asymptotically stable, rather than uniformly ultimately bounded, by using this additional control term. The proposed control algorithm is relatively straightforward and no restrictive conditions on the design parameters for achieving the systems stability are required. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is shown through simulations of a non-affine non-linear system with unmodelled dynamics, and is compared with a second-sliding mode controller.

Offshore crane control based on adaptive external models

An adaptive controller for cranes employed in heavy-lift offshore marine operations is presented. The control objective is to reduce the hydrodynamic slamming load acting on a payload at water entry of moonpool operations, while letting the payload track a given velocity profile. The adopted solution relies upon the use of an adaptive observer and two adaptive external models of the disturbance, employed to recover the unavailable information about the error to be regulated. As a result, the closed-loop system is rendered adaptive with respect to both the plant parameters and the frequencies of the harmonic disturbances affecting the system. A certainty-equivalence controller which makes use of the estimated parameters and the reconstructed tracking error is proposed, and the performance of the overall scheme is verified experimentally on a scale-model. Results show a remarkable improvement over a previous approach based on an observer-based internal model control of fixed structure.
