Abstract The Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) is based on simplified mathematical models that reflects the dynamic behavior of the systems. These latter are most of time nonlinear and need control schemes taking in consideration exogenous perturbations. The main contribution of this paper is the design of a robust passivity based sliding mode control scheme for a 1.26 KW PEMFC. The uncertainties considered in this paper are temperature and load variation. The FC reference current is adapted in a linear transformation by introducing a temperature sensor. This information is present in most of commercial PEMFC and not used in the closed-loop system. Moreover, the proposed approach cancels the errors caused by the average approach modeling and the observer (the part which replaces current sensor). Robustness against load variation is assured via a proportional integral compensation of the incremental value of load resistance. The performance of the controller and the effectiveness of our approach is shown through the simulation with MATLAB-SIMULINK software.

A novel self-repairing control scheme is proposed for a helicopter with unknown disturbance. Firstly, a disturbance observer is introduced to observe the disturbance of the system, which can produce corresponding control signals according to the disturbance signals. Secondly, an integral sliding mode controller is designed to compensate the unobserved disturbance and uncertainties. All of the closed-loop poles can be arbitrarily placed and the output errors converge to zero effectively through the controller. Besides, a robust closed-loop system against disturbance and parameter uncertainties is achieved. In addition, quantum information technique is used to increase the self-repairing control accuracy of helicopter. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed self-repairing control scheme.

A two-loop control has been designed for a boost converter. An internal sliding-mode control loop forces the converter inductor current to track the reference established by H∞ control of the output voltage in an outer loop. The outer H∞ controller is designed through loop shaping concepts. A practical design approach that aims at systematizing the procedure for the selection of inner sliding mode control parameters is also presented. The closed loop characteristics of a typical low-power boost converter with the proposed dual loop controller implemented in the actual switched model is validated through computer simulation. The proposed controller is found to be superior due to its low distortion property, good regulating performance and insensitivity to load variations. Finally, the validity and effectiveness of the control schemes are verified through hardware experiments.

This paper investigates the control problem of variable reluctance motors (VRMs). VRMs are highly nonlinear motors; a model that takes magnetic saturation into account is adopted in this work. Two robust control schemes are developed for the speed control of a variable reluctance motor. The first control scheme guarantees the uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed loop system. The second control scheme guarantees the exponential stability of the closed loop system. Simulation results of the proposed controllers are presented to illustrate the theoretical developments. The simulations indicate that the proposed controllers work well, and they are robust to changes in the parameters of the motor and to changes in the load.

This article proposes a computationally efficient adaptive robust control scheme for a quad-rotor with cable-suspended payloads. Motion of payload introduces unknown disturbances that affect the performance of the quad-rotor controlled with conventional schemes, thus novel adaptive robust controllers with both integer- and fractional-order dynamics are proposed for the trajectory tracking of quad-rotor with cable-suspended payload. The disturbances acting on quad-rotor due to the payload motion are estimated by utilizing adaptive laws derived from integer- and fractional-order Lyapunov functions. The stability of the proposed control systems is guaranteed using integer- and fractional-order Lyapunov theorems. Overall, three variants of the control schemes, namely adaptive fractional-order sliding mode (AFSMC), adaptive sliding mode (ASMC), and classical Sliding mode controllers (SMC)s) are tested using processor in the loop experiments, and based on the two performance indicators, namely robustness and computational resource utilization, the best control scheme is evaluated. From the results presented, it is verified that ASMC scheme exhibits comparable robustness as of SMC and AFSMC, while it utilizes less sources as compared to AFSMC.

This paper studies the attitude-tracking control problem of spacecraft considering on-orbit refuelling. A time-varying inertia model is developed for spacecraft on-orbit refuelling, which actually includes two processes: fuel in the transfer pipe and fuel in the tank. Based upon the inertia model, an adaptive attitude-tracking controller is derived to guarantee the stability of the resulted closed-loop system, as well as asymptotic convergence of the attitude-tracking errors, despite performing refuelling operations. Finally, numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed control scheme.

Logic-based switching adaptive control scheme is proposed for the model of DC-DC buck converter in presence of uncertain parameters and power supply disturbance. All uncertain parameters and the disturbance are estimated together through constructing Lyapunov function. And a switching mechanism is used to ensure global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The results of simulation show that even if there are multiple unknown parameters in the small-signal model, the control system of DC-DC buck converter can estimate unknown parameters quickly and accurately.

This paper studies the problem of the adaptive neural control for a class of high-order uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems. By using some techniques such as the backstepping recursive technique, Young’s inequality, and approximation capability, a novel adaptive neural control scheme is constructed. The proposed control method can guarantee that the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded in probability, and only one parameter needs to be updated online.

Limit protection, which frequently exists as an auxiliary part in control systems, is not the primary motive of control but is a necessary guarantee of safety. As in the case of aircraft engine control, the main objective is to provide the desired thrust based on the position of the throttle; nevertheless, limit protection is indispensable to keep the engine operating within limits. There are plenty of candidates that can be applied to design the regulators for limit protection. PID control with gain-scheduling technique has been used for decades in the aerospace industry. This classic approach suggests linearizing the original nonlinear model at different power-level points, developing PID controllers correspondingly, and then scheduling the linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers according to system states. Sliding mode control (SMC) is well-known with mature theories and numerous successful applications. With the one-sided convergence property, SMC is especially suitable for limit protection tasks. In the case of aircraft engine control, SMC regulators have been developed to supplant traditional linear regulators, where SMC can strictly keep relevant outputs within their limits and improve the control performance. In aircraft engine control field, we all know that the plant is a nonlinear system. However, the present design of the sliding controller is carried out with linear models, which severely restricts the valid scope of the controller. Even if the gain scheduling technique is adopted, the stability of the whole systems cannot be theoretically proved. Research of linear parameter varying (LPV) system throws light on a class of nonlinear control problems. In present works, we propose a controller design method based on the LPV model to solve the engines control problem and achieve considerable effectiveness. In this paper, we discuss the design of a sliding controller for limit protection task of aircraft engines, the plant of which is described as an LPV system instead of LTI models. We define the sliding surface as tracking errors and, with the aid of vertex property, present the stability analysis of the closed-loop system on the sliding surface. An SMC law is designed to guarantee that the closed-loop system is globally attracted to the sliding surface. Hot day (ISA+30° C) takeoff simulations based on a reliable turbofan model are presented, which test the proposed method for temperature protection and verify its stability and effectiveness.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a robust cascaded controller based on proportional-integral (PI) and continuous sliding mode control. Design/methodology/approach Cascaded control structure is an attractive control scheme for DC-DC power converters. It has a two-loop structure where the outer loop contains PI controller and the inner loop uses sliding mode control (SMC). This structure thus combines the merits of both the control schemes. However, there are some issues that have prohibited its adoption in industry, the discontinuous nature of SMC which leads to variable switching frequency operation and is hard to realize practically. This paper attempts to overcome this issue by changing the discontinuous functionality of SMC to continuous by utilizing the concept of equivalent control. Findings The robustness of the controller designed is verified by considering various cases, namely, ideal case with no uncertainties, sudden variation of input supply voltage, load resistance, reference voltage, circuit-parameters and for noise disturbance. The controller effectiveness is validated by simulating the DC-DC boost and Cuk converters in SimPowerSystems toolbox of MATLAB/Simulink. It is shown that the performance of the proposed controller is satisfactory, and both reference output voltage and inductor current are tracked with little or no sensitivity to disturbances. Originality/value The results for various scenarios are interesting and show that the controller works quite satisfactorily for all the simulated uncertainties.
