文摘Aiming to solve the steering instability and hysteresis of agricultural robots in the process of movement,a fusion PID control method of particle swarm optimization(PSO)and genetic algorithm(GA)was proposed.The fusion algorithm took advantage of the fast optimization ability of PSO to optimize the population screening link of GA.The Simulink simulation results showed that the convergence of the fitness function of the fusion algorithm was accelerated,the system response adjustment time was reduced,and the overshoot was almost zero.Then the algorithm was applied to the steering test of agricultural robot in various scenes.After modeling the steering system of agricultural robot,the steering test results in the unloaded suspended state showed that the PID control based on fusion algorithm reduced the rise time,response adjustment time and overshoot of the system,and improved the response speed and stability of the system,compared with the artificial trial and error PID control and the PID control based on GA.The actual road steering test results showed that the PID control response rise time based on the fusion algorithm was the shortest,about 4.43 s.When the target pulse number was set to 100,the actual mean value in the steady-state regulation stage was about 102.9,which was the closest to the target value among the three control methods,and the overshoot was reduced at the same time.The steering test results under various scene states showed that the PID control based on the proposed fusion algorithm had good anti-interference ability,it can adapt to the changes of environment and load and improve the performance of the control system.It was effective in the steering control of agricultural robot.This method can provide a reference for the precise steering control of other robots.

文摘Mode shift is a special mechanism for a power-split hybrid electric vehicle(HEV)to realise electrically variable transmission,but the sudden change of equivalent inertia caused by topological configuration recombination during mode shift induces a significant torque shock.Therefore,a smooth transient process,among other concerns,typically associated with this category of vehicles,is of great importance.The present research aims to introduce a novel control strategy to manage the dynamic torque of multiple power sources and therefore im-prove ride comfort.To this end,a dynamic model of the objective power-split HEV is first built.To resolve the contention between vehicle jerk and clutch friction loss,a model predictive control(MPC)combined with control allocation(CA)is then designed for the clutch-engaged phase.To reduce the torque fluctuation caused by the inertia torques of multiple power sources,a dynamic compensation control strategy(DCcs)that coordinates motorgenerator torque to compensate for the transition torque is proposed for the brake-disengaged phase.Finally,the proposed control strategy is validated by simulation and bench test,and results show great potential in reducing shift duration,torque variation,vehicle jerk and friction loss(the simulation results show decreases of 22%,39%,83%and 53%,and the experimental results show decreases of 21%,74%,77%,and 59%,re-spectively),thereby improving shift quality.

文摘As an important resource in data link,time slots should be strategically allocated to enhance transmission efficiency and resist eavesdropping,especially considering the tremendous increase in the number of nodes and diverse communication needs.It is crucial to design control sequences with robust randomness and conflict-freeness to properly address differentiated access control in data link.In this paper,we propose a hierarchical access control scheme based on control sequences to achieve high utilization of time slots and differentiated access control.A theoretical bound of the hierarchical control sequence set is derived to characterize the constraints on the parameters of the sequence set.Moreover,two classes of optimal hierarchical control sequence sets satisfying the theoretical bound are constructed,both of which enable the scheme to achieve maximum utilization of time slots.Compared with the fixed time slot allocation scheme,our scheme reduces the symbol error rate by up to 9%,which indicates a significant improvement in anti-interference and eavesdropping capabilities.

文摘The hybrid series-parallel microgrid attracts more attention by combining the advantages of both the series-stacked voltage and parallel-expanded capacity.Low-voltage distributed generations(DGs)are connected in series to form the intra-string,and then multiple strings are interconnected in parallel.For the existing control strategies,both intra-string and inter-string depend on the centralized or distributed control with high communication reliance.It has limited scalability and redundancy under abnormal conditions.Alternatively,in this study,an intra-string distributed and inter-string decentralized control framework is proposed.Within the string,a few DGs close to the AC bus are the leaders to get the string power information and the rest DGs are the followers to acquire the synchronization information through the droop-based distributed consistency.Specifically,the output of the entire string has the active power−angular frequency(ω-P)droop characteristic,and the decentralized control among strings can be autonomously guaranteed.Moreover,the secondary control is designed to realize multi-mode objectives,including on/off-grid mode switching,grid-connected power interactive management,and off-grid voltage quality regulation.As a result,the proposed method has the ability of plug-and-play capabilities,single-point failure redundancy,and seamless mode-switching.Experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed practical solution.
文摘Heat exchangers play a crucial role in thermal energy systems,with their performance directly impacting efficiency,cost,and environmental impact.Apowerful technique for performance improvement can be given by passive enhancement strategies,which are characterized by their dependability and minimal external power requirements.This comprehensive review critically assesses recent advancements in such passive methods to evaluate their heat transfer mechanisms,performance characteristics,and practical implementation challenges.Our methodology involves a systematic and comprehensive analysis of various heat transfer enhancement techniques,including surface modifications,extended surfaces,swirl flow devices,and tube inserts.This approach synthesizes and integrates findings from a broad spectrum of experimental investigations and numerical simulations to establish a cohesive understanding of their performance characteristics and underlyingmechanisms.Based on the findings,passive heat transfer techniques result in significant improvements in thermal performance;for instance,corrugated and roughened surfaces increase the heat transfer coefficient by 50%–200%,and advanced insert geometries,such as modified twisted tapes,can increase it by more than 300%,typically accompanied by significant pressure-drop penalties.However,an important finding is the general trade-off between enhanced heat transfer and higher frictional loss,which requires optimization depending on the applications.Finally,this review also provides recommendations that will document the gaps of various passive techniques in heat exchangers to future address.
文摘Fluidic Thrust Vectoring(FTV)is used for the yaw attitude control of tailless flying wing,which can significantly improve stealth performance,maneuverability and lateral/heading maneuverability.The FTV control scheme of co-directional secondary flow was designed based on a 30 kgf thrust turbojet engine,an equivalent rudder deflection control variable of Mass Flow Combination(MFC)was proposed,and a control model was established to form a FTV control system scheme,which was integrated with the flight control system of a 100 kg tailless flying wing with medium aspect ratio to achieve closed-loop control of the yaw attitude based on FTV.The heading stability augmentation and maneuvering control characteristics and time response characteristics of tailless flying wing by FTV were quantitatively studied through virtual flight test in a wind tunnel at a wind speed of 35 m/s.The results show that the control strategy based on MFC achieves bidirectional continuous and stable control of thrust vector angle in a range of±11°,and the thrust vector angle varies monotonically with MFC;the co-directional FTV realizes bidirectional continuous and stable control of the yaw attitude of tailless flying wing,without longitudinal/lateral coupling moment.The increment of the maximum yawing moment coefficient is 0.0029,the maximum yaw rate is 7.55(°)/s,and the response time of the yaw rate of the vectoring nozzle actuated by the secondary flow is about 0.06 s,which satisfies the heading stability augmentation and maneuvering control response requirements of the aircraft with statically unstable heading,and provides new control means for the heading rudderless attitude control of tailless flying wing.

文摘Electrically controlled solid propellant(ECSP)offers multiple ignition and adjustable burning rate,serving as fuel for next-generation intelligent propulsion systems.To further enhance the combustion performance of ECSP,a method utilizing electrochemical and thermal decomposition catalysts has been proposed.In this work,we investigated the combustion characteristics of hydroxylamine nitrate(HAN)-based ECSP incorporating cerium oxide(CeO_(2))and graphene oxide(GO)by using an electrically controlled combustion test system.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and linear sweep voltammetry(LSV)were used to measure the electrical conductibility and overpotential of ECSP with various additives,and Tafel curves were calculated.Thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry(TG-DSC)was employed to investigate the thermal decomposition behavior of ECSP.While the addition of CeO_(2) and GO reduced the conductivity of ECSP,both catalysts exhibited strong electrocatalytic properties and facilitated the thermal decomposition of ECSP.Between two catalysts,GO demonstrated superior electrochemical catalytic performance but weaker thermal decomposition catalytic ability than CeO_(2).The addition of catalysts significantly enhanced the combustion performance of HAN-based ECSP.Specifically,the ignition delay time was shortened by 10%~20%.CeO_(2) raised the burning rate by approximately 20%but GO exhibited a remarkable boost of 40%in burning rate at high voltage.The combination of GO and PVA produced a flame-retardant substance that negatively impacted the ignition delay of ECSP and resulted in a smaller increase in the burning rate of ECSP at low ignition voltages.

文摘Realistic faults and failures often occur probabilistically in the lane-keeping system of autonomous electric vehicles,reducing system reliability and posing significant challenges to driving safety.To enhance the system resilience,this paper proposes a novel robust fuzzy fault-tolerant control strategy that incorporates the adaptive event-trigger(AET)mechanism to realize stable,reliable,and precise lane-keeping control in the presence of multiple system uncertainties and probabilistic faults.First,to capture the uncertain and time-varying nature of tire cornering stiffness,an effective Takagi-Sugeno(T-S)fuzzy tire model is developed.Then,by employing the distribution-based probabilistic approach,two sets of unrelated random variables,random sensor and actuator faults in the control system,are modeled.Next,to improve communication efficiency and address ineluctable network-induced delays,an AET control framework with a well-designed triggering condition is established.Subsequently,a robust fuzzy output feedback fault-tolerant lane-keeping controller that satisfies the H∞per-formance is designed by using the Lyapunov-Krasovski functional method.Furthermore,the mean-square ex-ponential stability of the closed-loop system is rigorously guaranteed.Finally,real-time simulations based on Carsim/Simulink co-simulation platform under dynamic driving conditions demonstrate the feasibility and ef-fectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
