This paper presented an H∞-controller design to achieve active damping for a MEMS microphone system. The parametric uncertainties introduced by linearization process were modeled. The stability and performance of the closed-loop system were analyzed for the uncertain microphone model and both were shown to be robust. The nonlinear simulation further verifies that the controller offers the desired performance.

Herein, robust pole placement controller design for linear uncertain discrete time dynamic systems is addressed. The adopted approach uses the so called “D regions” where the closed loop system poles are determined to lie. The discrete time pole regions corresponding to the prescribed damping of the resulting closed loop system are studied. The key issue is to determine the appropriate convex approximation to the originally non-convex discrete-time system pole region, so that numerically efficient robust controller design algorithms based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) can be used. Several alternatives for relatively simple inner approximations and their corresponding LMI descriptions are presented. The developed LMI region for the prescribed damping can be arbitrarily combined with other LMI pole limitations (e.g., stability degree). Simple algorithms to calculate the matrices for LMI representation of the proposed convex pole regions are provided in a concise way. The results and their use in a robust controller design are illustrated on a case study of a laboratory magnetic levitation system.

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.

This paper deals with the design and evaluation of robust excitation controller for a single-machine infinite-bus power system. The design of the regulator guarantees the stability of the closed loop system and ensures the output voltage is maintained within an acceptable threshold. In addition, it damps out local mode oscillations for small signal disturbances. The designed robust controller is also analyzed under change in step input and disturbance, which limits the heavy oscillations on the speed ω and voltage. Glover-McFarlane loop shaping algorithm is applied in designing the robust excitation controller. Two different techniques such as Optimal control and mixed sensitivity approach is used in this paper. The performance of the AVR was analyzed and compared with IEEE type2 Exciter.

In this paper, an adaptive robust controller with uniform robust exact differentiator has been proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with structured and unstructured uncertainties. The adaptive robust controller is integrated with an uniform robust differentiator to handle the problem of the incalculable part of the derivative of virtual controls and the differential explosion happened in backstepping techniques. The stability of the closed loop system is demonstrated via Lyapunov method ensuring a prescribed transient and tracking performance. Simulation and experimental results are carried out to verify the advantages of the proposed method.

This work proposes a generalized predictive control (GPC) based controller for the temperature of HVAC chilled water supply. In this paper, several models of evaporator are firstly introduced, wherein an identified black-box model is selected for the purpose of controller design. Based on this model, a GPC based controller is employed to obtain a satisfactory performance even with the presence of disturbance. The theoretical results show the stability of the closed-loop system and the performance of this scheme is compared with that of traditional PID controller under simulation environment.

This paper presents robust controller design for an active automobile suspension system using an interative LQG design technique. The main objective is to design an active feedback control for an automobile suspension system to ensure the ride comfort for passengers in the presence of unknown road disturbances. The control system designed is shown to be robust to uncertainties and parametric variations. The resulting interative LQG-based control design is shown to achieve a significant improvement in the performance, while maintaining a desired level of closed-loop stability that is robust to plant uncertainties and parametric variations. The controller design is also compared to some other active suspension designs published in the literature.

For industrial robot manipulator system, PD control theory is extensively used in the dynamic characteristics controlling. A PD robust controller is introduced to optimize the stability and convergence of traditional PD controller and avoid excess initial driving torque for two-link industrial manipulator system. By the co-simulation on ADAMS and Matlab/ Simulink, the paper designs a PD robust controller under given upper bound disturbance and completes track control and driving torque trial. Through result comparison and analysis, the superiority of the PD robust controller for two-link manipulator is verified.

In this paper, the dual-input nonlinear controller of permanent magnet wind generators was designed based on energy dissipation theory and Hamiltonian energy approach. Under the action of the Hamiltonian controller, the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable on case of no disturbances and finite-gain L2 stable in the presence of disturbances. The Hamiltonian energy approach provides us a physical insight and a new way to the controller design of nonlinear systems. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed robust controller.

This paper presents a robust adaptive controller that does not depend on the system parameters for an excavator arm. Firstly, the model of the excavator arm is demonstrated in the Euler-Lagrange form considering with overall excavator system. Next, a robust adaptive controller has been constructed from information of state error. In this paper, the stability of overall system is mathematically proven by using Lyapunov stability theory. Also, the proposed controller is model free then the closed loop system is not affected by disturbances and uncertainties. Finally, the simulation is executed in Matlab/Simulink for both presented scheme and the PD controller under some conditions to ensure that the proposed algorithm given the good performances for all cases.
