Feedback control of flexible systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a feedback controller is developed for a finite number of modes of the flexible system and the controllability and observability conditions necessary for successful operation are displayed, and the combined effect of control and observation spillover is shown to lead to potential instabilities in the closed-loop system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active control of flexible systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the class of flexible systems that can be described by a generalized wave equation, which relates the displacementu(x,t) of a body Θ in 3D space to the applied force distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in large space structure control theory: Fondest hopes, wildest dreams
TL;DR: This paper presents a mathematical framework for discussion of large space structure (LSS) control theory, and current trends in LSS control theory and related topics in general control science are surveyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Velocity Feedback Control of Large Space Structures
TL;DR: In this article, a symmetric, non-negative, time-invariant differential operator with compact resolvent and a square root A'/2 has been proposed for flexible structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of variable-speed wind turbines: standard and adaptive techniques for maximizing energy capture
TL;DR: The question of theoretical stability of the torque controller is addressed, showing that the rotor speed is asymptotically stable under the torque control law in the constant wind speed input case and L/sub 2/ stable with respect to time-varying wind input.
