Utilization of renewable energies in association with energy storage is increased in different applications such as electrical vehicles (EVs), electric boats (EBs), and smart grids. A robust controller strategy plays a significant role to optimally utilize the energy resources available in a power system. In this paper, a suitable controller for the energy resources of an EB which consists of a 5 kW solar power plant, 5 kW fuel cell, and 2 kW battery package is designed based on the linear parameter varying (LPV) controller design approach. Initially, all component dynamics are augmented, and by exploiting the sector-nonlinearity approach, the LPV representation is derived. Then, the LPV control method determines the suitable gains of the states’ feedbacks to provide the required pulse commands of the boost converters of the energy resources to regulate the DC-link voltage and supply the power of EB loads. Comparing with the state-of-the-art nonlinear control methods, the developed control approach assures the stability of the overall system, as it considers all component dynamics in the design procedure. The real-time simulation results demonstrate the performance of the designed controller in the creation of a constant DC-link voltage.

This article presents a new output feedback controller design method for polynomial linear parameter varying model with bounded parameter variation rate. Based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, the polynomial linear parameter varying system controller design is formulated into an optimization problem constrained by parameterized linear matrix inequalities. To solve this problem, first, this optimization problem is equivalently transformed into a new form with elimination of coupling relationship between parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, controller, and object coefficient matrices. Then, the control solving problem was reduced to a normal convex optimization problem with linear matrix inequalities constraint on a newly constructed convex polyhedron. Moreover, a parameter scheduling output feedback controller was achieved on the operating condition, which satisfies robust performance and dynamic performances. Finally, the feasibility and validity of the controller analysis and synthesis method are verified by the numerical simulation.

The paper presents the modeling and control design of a floating piston pneumatic gearbox actuator using a grid-based Linear Parameter Varying approach. First, the nonlinear model of the pneumatic actuator is presented, then it is transformed into a 6th order Linear Parameter Varying representation with endogenous scheduling parameters. The model is simplified based on empirical considerations to solve the controller synthesis and allow fast controller tuning. The developed Linear Parameter Varying controller is tested in simulations. Moreover, using a balanced truncation-model order reduction method, the minimum order of the controller is determined, which can provide acceptable performance. The simplified controller is implemented in an embedded environment and validated against the real target. Then, the validation results are compared with a gain-scheduled PD controller and a Linear Quadratic Regulator. The results show that by taking the time-varying nature of the scheduling parameters into account, the Linear Parameter Varying controller surpasses the Linear Quadratic Regulator, which cannot handle the high-speed transients around Neutral. Furthermore, the PD controller performs slightly better in two of the four test cases, although the Linear Parameter Varying controller has a higher level of fault tolerance.
