This article proposes a design method for producing H∞ control performance for structural systems using the Tagagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. A structural system with a tuned mass damper is modeled using a T-S type fuzzy model. Using the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme, we design a nonlinear fuzzy controller for the tuned mass damper system. A sufficient stability condition for the control system is derived in terms of Lyapunov theory and this control problem is reformulated into solving the linear matrix inequalities (LMI) problem. Finally, the tuned mass damper is designed based on the first modal frequency of the control system and a fuzzy controller to stabilize the structural system is then found using the Matlab LMI toolbox. A simulation example is given to show the feasibility of the proposed fuzzy controller design method.

Modeling, H∞ Control and Stability Analysis for Structural Systems Using Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Model

In 2013 the Editor of Journal of Vibration and Control and SAGE became aware of a peer review ring involving assumed and fabricated identities that appeared to centre around Peter Chen at National Pingtung University of Education, Taiwan (NPUE). SAGE and the Editor then began a complex investigation into the case during the rest of 2013 and 2014. Following an unsatisfactory response from Peter Chen, NPUE was notified. NPUE were serious in addressing the Journal and SAGE’s concerns. NPUE confirmed that the institution was investigating Peter Chen. SAGE subsequently uncovered a citation ring involving the above mentioned author and others. We regret that individual authors have compromised the academic record by perverting the peer review process and apologise to readers. On uncovering problems with peer review and citation SAGE immediately put steps in place to avoid similar vulnerability of the Journal to exploitation in the future. More information may be found at www.sagepub.co.uk/JVC_Statement_2014. The Journal and SAGE understand from NPUE that Peter Chen has resigned his post at NPUE. The following articles are retracted because after thorough investigation evidence points towards them having at least one author or being reviewed by at least one reviewer who has been implicated in the peer review ring and/or citation ring. All authors have had an opportunity to respond to the allegations and proposed actions.

RETRACTED: Neural network-based fuzzy logic parallel distributed compensation controller for structural system

A self-tuning fuzzy PI controller for TCSC to improve power system stability

This paper proposes an evolutionary fuzzy lead-lag control approach for coordinated control of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) devices in a multi-machine power system. The FACTS devices used are a thyristor-controlled series capacitor (TCSC) and a static var compensator (SVC), both of which are equipped with a fuzzy lead-lag controller to improve power system dynamic stability. The fuzzy lead-lag controller uses a fuzzy controller (FC) to adaptively determine the parameters of two lead-lag controllers at each control step according to the deviations of generator rotor speeds. This paper proposes an Advanced Continuous Ant Colony Optimization (ACACO) algorithm to optimize all of the free parameters in the FC, which avoids the time-consuming task of parameter selection by human experts. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed evolutionary fuzzy lead-lag controller for oscillation damping control is verified through control of a multi-machine power system and comparisons with other lead-lag controllers and various population-based optimization algorithms.

Fuzzy control of thyristor-controlled series compensator in power system transients

Thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) is expected to provide various benefits to power systems, including transient stability improvement, subsynchronous resonance (SSR) mitigation, power swings damping, fault current reduction, etc. Grasping the characteristics of TCSC installations and ending effective firing control strategies are essential to implement these advantages. This paper studies two important aspects of TCSC characteristics, the time constant of TCSC dynamic response and impacts of reference signals for thyristor firing angles on TCSC dynamic response. Closed-loop impedance control is proposed to speed the dynamic response of TCSC. A "two-stage" firing control method is presented to accomplish smooth switching between the capacitive region and inductive region. Both digital simulations with EMTDC/PSCAD software and physical experiments are employed in the study.

Characteristics and firing control of thyristor controlled series compensation installations

The Takagi-Sugeno model (T-S model) based fuzzy control scheme for nonlinear systems is presented in this paper. In the T-S fuzzy model, a nonlinear system is represented with a set of fuzzy rules which describe the local linear dynamics. Then the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) design is employed in the fuzzy controller design. Linear optimal control is used in the derivation of each control rule. The overall fuzzy controller is a fuzzy blending of each individual linear controller. Quadratic stability of the overall nonlinear control system can be checked and ensured with H/sup /spl infin// control theory. The fuzzy control scheme is applied to thyristor-controlled series compensator control in power system transients. Digital simulations with NOTOMAC software have demonstrated that the fuzzy control scheme is superior to other conventional control methods. The fuzzy controller effectively improves power systems transient stability and very quickly damp power swings.

A fuzzy control scheme for nonlinear systems and its application to power systems

The first thyristor controlled series compensation (TCSC) project in China is expected to be applied to the Yimin-Fengtun 500 kV transmission line in the Year 2000 to improve its transmission capability. As a part of the project's feasibility study, this paper focuses on the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of TCSC based on digital simulations and physical experiments. It is necessary to comprehend the characteristics of TCSC devices for modeling TCSC correctly and proposing an effective transient control strategy. The paper studies the following several characteristics of TCSC: the steady-state characteristics in four typical operation modes; the operation symmetry under various control modes; the differences between closed-loop and open-loop impedance control; and the influences of different synchronizing signals on dynamic characteristics of impedance variations.

A study on the characteristics of TCSC based on digital simulations and physical experiments

The thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC), composed of a capacitor in parallel with a thyristor controlled reactor (TCR), is a variant topology circuit. For such circuits there is no universal method to build the analytical mathematical model. The paper focuses on building an analytical model by the method of "topology" to describe the dynamic behavior of TCSC. Based on the model, the steady-state model is derived and the dynamic characteristics are discussed. The model is verified by digital simulation and the method can be extended to similar devices and be used for optimizing the control systems.
