A Unified Approach for Stabilization of Arbitrary Order Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Transfer Functions with Time Delay Using a PID Controller

Abstract: The object of this paper is to find the stability regions of an arbitrary order transfer function with time delay using a unified approach for continuous and discrete- time systems. The stability boundaries of the proportional- integral (PI) controller, proportional-derivative (PD) controller and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller are found in terms of the proportional gain ( p K ), integral gain ( i

Analysis and compensation for the cascade dead-zones in the proportional control valve.

Abstract: The four-way proportional directional control valve has been widely used as the main stage spring constant for the two-stage proportional control valve (PDV). Since a tradeoff should be made between manufacturing costs and static performance, two symmetry dead-zones are introduced in the main stage spring constant: the center dead-zone caused by the center floating position and the intermediate dead-zone caused by the intermediate position. Though the intermediate dead-zone is much smaller than the center dead-zone, it has significant effect on the dynamic position tracking performance. In this paper, the cascade dead-zones problem in a typical two-stage PDV is analyzed and a cascade dead-zones model is proposed for the main stage spring constant. Then, a cascade dead-zones inverse method is improved with gain estimation and dead-zone detection to compensate the dead-zone nonlinearity. Finally, a digital controller is designed for verification. The comparative experimental results indicate that it is effective to reduce the large position tracking error when the proposed method is applied.

Closed-Form Critical Conditions of Subharmonic Oscillations for Buck Converters

Abstract: Based on a general critical condition of subharmonic oscillation in terms of the loop gain, many closed-form critical conditions for various control schemes in terms of converter parameters are derived. Some previously known critical conditions become special cases in the generalized framework. Given an arbitrary control scheme, a systematic procedure is proposed to derive the critical condition for that control scheme. Different control schemes share similar forms of critical conditions. For example, both V2 control and proportional voltage mode control have the same form of critical condition. A peculiar phenomenon in average current mode control where subharmonic oscillation occurs in a window value of pole can be explained by the derived critical condition. A ripple amplitude index to predict subharmonic oscillation proposed in the past research has limited application and is shown invalid for a converter with a large pole comparable to the switching frequency.

Design of Fuzzy Controller based on PC for Solar Tracking System

Abstract: In this paper proposed the solar tracking system to use a fuzzy based on PC in order to increase an output of the PV array. The solar tracking system operated two DC motors driving by signal of photo sensor. The control of dual axes is not an easy task due to nonlinear dynamics and unavailability of the parameters. Recently, artificial intelligent control of the fuzzy control, neural-network and genetic algorithm etc. have been studied. The fuzzy control made a nonlinear dynamics to well perform and had a robust and highly efficient characteristic about a parameter variable as well as a nonlinear characteristic. Hence the fuzzy control was used to perform the tracking system after comparing with error values of setting-up, nonlinear altitude and azimuth. In this paper designed a fuzzy controller for improving output of PV array and evaluated comparison with efficient of conventional P controller. The data which were obtained by experiment were able to show a validity of the proposed controller.
