go to top  Adaptive Anti-Synchronization of Identical and Non-Identical 4-D Chaotic Systems
         by  H. Najafizadegan, M. Khoeiniha, H. Zarabadipour

 

Abstract - In this paper, we investigate the chaos anti-synchronization between two identical and different chaotic systems (Lorenz- Stenflo system and Qi system) with fully unknown parameters via adaptive control. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive control law and a parameter update rule for unknown parameters are designed such that the two different chaotic systems can be anti-synchronized asymptotically. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are shown to verify the results.

         by  S. Masupe, K. M. Yanev

 

Abstract - This paper contributes with suggesting a procedure that establishes the optimal corner frequencies of a compensator and in this way bringing a control system to its best mode of operation. The design of a network for compensating a feedback control system is optimized to obtain the best performance that can be offered by the compensating device. The paper also proposes an analysis by the method of the D-partitioning, to examine extensively the effects of the parameters variation on the system’s stability before and after the compensation.

go to top  Regional Boundary Observability with Constraints
         by  A. Boutoulout, H. Bourray, M. Baddi, F.Z. El Alaoui

 

Abstract - The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of observability for distributed parabolic system evolving in spatial domain Ω, and which the state is to be observed between two prescribed functions given only on a boundary subregion Γ of αΩ. We give definitions and some properties of this kind of regional observability and we describe two approaches to solve this problem where the first is based on subdifferential techniques and the second uses the lagrangian multiplier method. This last approach leads to an algorithm which is performed by numerical example and simulation.

go to top  Monitoring Emergent Situations in Complex Systems with the Help of Conceptual Detection Patterns
         by  J. Bila, S. Gojda

 

Abstract - The background of this paper is in the control system for the ventilation process in a relatively long road tunnel. This control system is supervised by a monitoring system that not only checks the function of the control loops but detects and diagnoses other control states of the operation of the whole tunnel. This paper deals with detecting emergent situations in a complex system by means of structural invariants and conceptual detection patterns. We distinguish between the function of the system and the structure of the system: while the monitoring system checks the changes and faults in the function, the system for detecting emergent situations checks the changes (or faults) in the structure (including changes in the monitoring system). The structural invariants contain the essential characteristics of the structure of the system. The paper points out the necessity to use more than one detection dimension and more than one structural invariant for detecting emergent situations. A conceptual detection pattern is formed by a number of structural invariants. A theoretical explanation of the structural invariants and conceptual detection patterns is supplemented by an example of their application in monitoring the road tunnel ventilation process.

go to top  P-Δ-K Model of Boost Switching Regulators with all of the System Uncertainties Based on the Genetic Algorithm
         by M. R. Modabbernia, A. R. Sahab, Y. Nazarpour

 

Abstract - In this paper, a linear fractional transformation (LFT) is presented for boost switching regulators based on µ- synthesis. This LFT includes all of the system uncertainties and parameters, and it can be used to analyze the performance and robustness of designed linear controller. Also, we can use it to design a new robust controller based on µ-synthesis to satisfy the stability and performance conditions of the convertors. In the process of introducing the LFT, it is assumed that the load current is undetermined and the inductor, the capacitance, the diode and the active switch of regulator are nonlinear. Furthermore, either of them has a resistance and the used diode and switch have “on state” voltage drop. These parameters have nonlinear effects on the regulator state matrix arrays. Therefore, by a few conservatives, we can define the new parameters with linear deviations. This process is done by the optimization of several nonlinear functions based on genetic algorithm. At the end, based on our presented P-Δ-K model and µ- synthesis, we analyze a proposed controller for the simple model of boost regulator [1]. And show the merit of our P-Δ-K representation of boost regulator in analyzing the robust performance of designed linear controllers.

go to top  Speed Sensorless Vector Control of Induction Motor Using Stator Current Based MRAS Scheme
         by C.Kamal Basha, M.Suryakalavathi

 

Abstract - Induction motor drives without mechanical speed sensor have the attraction of high reliability and low cost. In this regard several proposals have made by the many researchers throughout the world, where the sensors at the shaft are replaced by the estimation methods. This paper describes the estimation of the rotor speed by using new Model Reference Adaptive System(MRAS) approach. MRAS consists of reference model and adjustable model. In this proposed MRAS speed adaption algorithm, the measured stator current of the induction motor is used as a reference model. This reference model is compared with stator current estimated by using voltage model. The estimated stator current is adjusted with the estimated rotor speed obtained by the new adaption algorithm. The proposed speed estimation algorithm using MRAS is applied for indirect vector control drive and is tested in the MATLAB Simulation, to show superior performance compared to classical MRAS.

go to top  Design of a Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage Controller for Power System Stability Improvement
         by Roozbeh Kamali and Hooman Akbarzadeh
 

Abstract - A Proportional Integral (PI) controller scheme of superconducting energy magnetic storage (SMES) unit is proposed to accelerate the damping of a synchronous generator facing perturbations. The parameters of the PI controller are determined once off-line by a systematic pole assignment method based on modal control theory. Eigenvalue analysis and time- domain nonlinear simulation results show that SMES unit has the capability of system's stability restoration, even in large disturbances. The control scheme also shows that stability margin of the power system is expanded.

go to top  A New Integrated Technique for Controlling Multi Transmission Line Using Inter Line Power Flow Controller
         by B.Karthik, S. Chandrasekar

 

Abstract - Nowadays, electric power transmission line control is a difficult task but it is an important one for minimizing line losses. Line loss minimization of transmission system depends on the type of controlling device. The proposed system uses Inter Line Power Flow Controller (IPFC) for controlling the multi transmission line because it is one of the best devices available for controlling multi transmission lines. Optimal placement of IPFC in the transmission line is a major problem associated with IPFC. So, we use a combination of Tabu Search (TS) algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in the proposed method to find out the best placement locations for IPFC in a given multi transmission line system. TS algorithm is an optimization algorithm and we use it in the proposed method to determine the optimum bus combination using line data. Then using the optimum bus combination, the neural network is trained to find out the best placement locations for IPFC. Finally IPFC is connected at the best locations indicated by the neural network. Then, using Newton Raphson load flow algorithm the transmission line loss of the IPFC connected bus is analyzed. The proposed methodology is implemented in MATLAB 7.10 and tested on the IEEE-14 bus system Then the output is compared with that of genetic algorithm (GA) and general load flow analysis.

go to top   Cascade Adjustment by Sliding Mode Applied to a Photovoltaic System of Power 1KW Inter-Connected to the Three-Phase Network Low Voltage
         by Habib Boujmil,  Nejib Mansouri, Faouzi Mimouni

 

Abstract - In this article, we presented the Cascade by Sliding Mode Adjustment (CSMA) applied to a Photovoltaic system (PVS) inter-connected with the three-phase network Low Voltage (LV). The graphic tools Energetic Macroscopic Representation (EMR) and its reverse the Maximum Structure of Control (MSC) are used respectively for the modelling and the controlling of global system. The instantaneous average model and its control obtained, lead to a formed structure of imbricated loops which adapts well to the technique of the cascade adjustment. This structure presents of non linearity; because of the control organ (chopper and/or inverter) it requires a robust law of control. We applied the Sliding Mode Control (SMC), which by nature is non-linear and uses the principle of cascade adjustment. The results of simulation show initially the performances of this type of adjustment, for sudden variations of the sunning and hollow voltage of the network, then the robustness for parametric variations such as the resistor of the line which could change with temperature.

go to top  A Novel Fuzzy Rule Extraction Method Using Cellular Learning Automata Based On Evolutionary Computing Model
         by  M. J. Fattahi Hasan Abad , S. M. Salari, P. Derakhshan-Barjoei

 

Abstract - Fuzzy rule base systems are of high importance regarding controlling and classification issues. However, there is a fundamental problem and that is their rule extraction for problem solving. Various methods have been reported in order to extract the required rules of these systems so far. In this paper, a new method has been proposed for rule extraction required for a fuzzy classification system using Cellular Learning Automata Based on Evolutionary Computing (CLA-EC) model. CLA-EC model is an evolutionary algorithm which is a result of the combination of a cellular learning automata with the concepts mentioned in evolutionary computing. It has been shown a higher applicability in optimization fields than CLA and genetic algorithms. Finally, in order to show the applicability of the proposed method, "Iris" standard database for testing purposes has been used.

         by  Josef Kokeš, Nghien Nguyen Ba

 

Abstract - Forecasting the future time series values from the past values plays important role in daily life. There are some techniques support for time series analysis such as statistics, Neural Network (NN), Fuzzy Logic (FL) and fusion NN and FL. However, there is lack of easy, free and visual tools for users to analysis time series data. In this paper we try to use Java program language to implement of Fuzzy Logic system using table lookup scheme to predict time series data. The results of our experiments show that our tool can give a high accuracy of prediction results. Since program is written in Java language so it can run across hardware and software platform and easily embed into website for user run through Internet.

go to top   Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Solar Power Plant Based on Fuzzy Logic
         by
Elham Ataei, Rouhollah Afshari, Ebrahim Rahimpour

 

Abstract - Solar energy has been accepted as an alternative source of energy worldwide recently. Current researches and markets have shown that Solar Photovoltaic (PV) is the fastest growing and most promising form of renewable energy used in generating electricity. This paper presents an intelligent sun tracking system in which photo-resistors (sensors) are used to determine the direction of the sunlight along with wind sensors to specify the direction of the wind. Due to their high performance and low expense, these sensors have been preferred and used. An algorithm based on fuzzy logic is designed to implement the controlling system considering all the various meteorological conditions. The hardware structure of the system consists of an AVR microcontroller; hence the small size of the whole controlling system. The solar cell is used as the power supply of the controlling system. Finally, an intelligent solar power plant is implemented by means of the techniques mentioned above.

         by Herbert Grabner, Martin Reisinger, Siegfried Silber, Wolfgang Amrhein, Christian Redemann, Peter Jenckel

 

Abstract - The demands on active magnetic bearings concerning performance as well as costs are high. The proposed five axes active magnetic bearing has a compact design and runs with simplified power electronics. Owing to the nonlinearity of the plant, the use of linear control design methods alone is not suitable for achieving a high operation performance. This paper introduces a novel combined radial and axial position control algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

go to top   A Comparative Analysis of the New Five-Pole and Three-Pole Active Magnet Bearing
         by M.Jafarboland, P.Vakili

 

Abstract - In recent years, more attention has been given to the active magnet bearing (AMB) thanks to their low maintenance cost, suitability for clean environments, and high speed. One of the popular types of AMB’s is the three-pole type with integrated and separate cores. Some deficiencies of this type of bearing are its high oscillation, low stability and low efficiency. This paper seeks to analyze the three-pole AMB’s and describe their deficiencies and introduce and analyze a new five-pole AMB. The model thus proposed has lower oscillation as well as more stability and efficiency. The five-pole AMB has been simulated by a controller in the presence of disturbance. The results of simulation demonstrate lower vibration and oscillation in the five-pole AMB in comparison with the three-pole model.

         by Elham Ataei, Rouhollah Afshari, Mohammad Ali Pourmina

 

Abstract - This paper presents the fuzzy control of a five fingered robot hand by using the genetic algorithm and TMS320F2812 chip. Because of its high-speed performance, its support for multi-motor control and its low power consumption, TMS320F2812 DSP from TI demonstrates itself as an ideal candidate for the five fingered robot hand. There are five fingers and each finger has three degrees of freedom (DOF). All the actuators and electronics are integrated in the finger body and the palm. This robot has five fingers in which all joints are driven by DC motors. At the same time, the multisensory robot hand integrates position, force/torque and temperature sensors. The fuzzy controller dealing with the level of finger control is a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) fuzzy learning controller and is implemented in AVRs microcontrollers. In this paper, the design of the fuzzy controller is base on the genetic algorithm. The whole weight of the hand is about 1.3Kg and the fingertip force can reach 8N.

Abstract - In this paper we describe a new robotic hand system with master slave configuration. Bluetooth is being used as the communication channel between the master and slave for the tele-operation. The master is a glove that a human operator can wear. The glove has been embedded with many sensors to detect the movement of every joint present in the hand. This joint movement is transferred to the slave robotic hand that will mimic the movement of human operator. The UTHM robotic hand is a multi fingered dexterous anthropomorphic hand. The hand comprises of five fingers (four fingers and one thumb) each having four degrees of freedom (DOF) which can perform flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and also circumduction. For the actuation purpose, pneumatic muscles and springs are used. The paper exemplifies the design for the robotic hand.
