Time-delay is inherent to communications schemes in power systems, and in a closed loop strategy the presence of latencies increases inter-area oscillations and security problems in tie-lines. Recently, Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) have been introduced to improve observability and overcome slow-rate communications from traditional Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA). However, there is a need for tackling time-delays in control strategies based in WAMS. For this purpose, this paper proposes an Enhanced Time Delay Compensator (ETDC) approach which manages varying time delays introducing the perspective of network latency instead dead time; also, ETDC takes advantage of real signals and measurements transmission procedure in WAMS building a closed-loop memory control for power systems. The strength of the proposal was tested satisfactorily in a widely studied benchmark model in which inter-area oscillations were excited properly.

Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems and their control have gained attraction recently as they approximate nonlinear systems with higher order than ordinary linear systems. On the other hand, time delay is an inherent part of various real-life applications. A supervisory control structure is proposed in this paper for LPV systems subject to time delays. In the proposed control structure, a supervisor selects the most suitable controller from a bank of controllers; which desires to enhance the performance of closed-loop system in contrast with using a single robust controller. The analysis is based on the celebrated Smith predictor for time delay compensation and we provide a sufficient condition to assure the stability of the closed-loop switched system in terms of dwell time. Simulations on blood pressure control of hypertension patients in postoperative scenario are used to exemplify the effectiveness of the utilized technique. The operating region of the system is partitioned into five smaller operating regions to construct corresponding robust controllers and perform hysteresis switching amongst them. Simulation results witnessed that the proposed control scheme demonstrated a pressure undershoot less than the desired value of 10 mmHg while the Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) remains within ±5 mmHg of the desired value.

Abstract The stability of teleoperation over the Internet is a growing research area. The unknown time delays of the data transmission, however, compromise performance and stability. It is assumed in this work that force information is not available which is the case for most commercial haptic devices. This paper examines two approaches to this challenging problem. The first approach focuses on using Kalman filters to predict, at the local haptic device, the present state of the remote haptic device. In this way, the time delays can be made to seem as if they did not exist. Simulation results are presented on experimental data to verify this technique. The second approach is to employ haptic devices which are mechanically designed to have linear dynamics. It is shown that our proposed feedback configuration is stable for all gains, up to a maximum time delay which can be precomputed. Experimental results are presented.

In this paper, a robustH∞damping controller of multi-FACTS device for a power system is developed with considering the time delay of the remote feedback signals transmitted by wide-area measurement systems (WAMS). A free-weighting matrices method based on linear control design approach is presented to design the robustH∞damping controller to improve the dynamical performance of power systems. Firstly, the linearized reduced-order plant model is established, which efficiently considers the signal’s time delay and disturbance. Then, the design of multi-FACTS robustH∞damping controller is formulated as the standard control problem on delay-dependent state-feedback robust control based on the robust control theory. Finally, the simulation tests are carried out on the 2-area 4-machine power systems. Satisfactory test results verify the correctness of the proposed damping controller.
