The support vector approach is data-based and is therefore robust to process knowledge. It is based on structural risk minimization which enhances generalization even with small training data set and it allows for process nonlinearity by using flexible kernels. In this work, a radial basis function is used as the kernel. Different parts of the process are investigated including actuators and sensors faults. With duplicated sensors, sensor faults in blade pitch positions,generator and rotor speeds can be detected. Faults of type stuck measurements can be detected in 2 sampling periods. The detection time of offset/scaled measurements depends on the severity of the fault and on the process dynamics when the fault occurs. The converter torque actuator fault can be detected within 2 sampling periods. Faults in the actuators of the pitch systems represents a higher difficulty for fault detection which is due to the fact that such faults only affect the transitory state(which is very fast) but not the final stationary state. Therefore, two methods are considered and compared for fault detection and isolation of this fault: support vector machines and a Kalman-like observer. Advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. On one hand, support vector machines training of transitory states would require a big amount of data in different situations, but the fault detection and isolation results are robust to variations in the input/operating point. On the other hand, the observer is model-based, and therefore does not require training, and it allows identification of the fault level, which is interesting for fault reconfiguration. But the observability of the system is ensured under specific conditions, related to the dynamics of the inputs and outputs. The whole fault detection and isolation scheme is evaluated using a wind turbine benchmark with a real sequence of wind speed.展开更多

By incorporating general relativistic effects into complexity theory through a gravitational correction factor, we prove that problems can transition between complexity classes depending on the observer’s reference frame and local gravitational environment. This insight emerges from recognizing that the definition of polynomial time implicitly assumes a universal time metric, an assumption that breaks down in curved spacetime due to gravitational time dilation. We demonstrate the existence of gravitational phase transitions in problem complexity, where an NP-complete problem in one reference frame becomes polynomially solvable in another frame experiencing extreme gravitational time dilation. Through rigorous mathematical formulation, we establish a gravitationally modified complexity theory that extends classical complexity classes to incorporate observer-dependent effects, leading to a complete framework for understanding how computational complexity transforms across different spacetime reference frames. This finding parallels other self-referential insights in mathematics and physics, such as Gödel’s incompleteness theorems and Einstein’s relativity, suggesting a deeper connection between computation, gravitation, and the nature of mathematical truth.展开更多

However, existing theoretical advancements face certain limitations: They either fail to address more complex nonlinear phenomena, rely on hard-to-verify assumptions, or encounter difficulties in solving system parameters.Consequently, this paper aims to address these challenges by investigating distributed observers for nonlinear systems through the full-measured canonical form(FMCF), which is inspired by full-measured system(FMS) theory. To begin with, this study addresses the fact that the FMCF can only be obtained through the observable canonical form(OCF) in existing FMS theories.The paper demonstrates that a class of nonlinear systems can directly obtain FMCF through state space equations, independent of OCF. Also, a general method for solving FMCF in such systems is provided. Furthermore, based on the FMCF, A distributed observer is developed for nonlinear systems under two scenarios: Lipschitz conditions and open-loop bounded conditions.The paper establishes their asymptotic omniscience and demonstrates that the designed distributed observer in this study has fewer design parameters and is more convenient to construct than existing approaches. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed methods is validated through simulation results on Van der Pol oscillators and microgrid systems.展开更多

文摘In permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)control,the jitter problem affects the system performance,so a novel reaching lawis proposed to construct a non-singular fast terminal slidingmode controller(NFTSMC)to reduce the jitter.To enhance the immunity of the system,a disturbance observer is designed to observe and compensate for the disturbance to the sliding mode controller.In addition,considering that the controller parameters are difficult to adjust,and the traditional zebra optimization algorithm(ZOA)is prone to converge prematurely and fall into local optimum when solving the optimal solution,the improved zebra optimization algorithm(IZOA)is proposed,and the ability of the IZOA in practical applications is verified by using international standard test functions.To verify the performance of IZOA,firstly,the adjustment time of IZOA is reduced by 71.67%compared with ZOA through the step response,and secondly,the tracking error of IZOA is reduced by 51.52%compared with ZOA through the sinusoidal signal following.To verify the performance of the designed controller based on disturbance observer,the designed controller reduces the speed overshoot from 2.5%to 0.63%compared with the traditional NFTSMC in the speed mutation experiment,which is a performance improvement of 70.8%,and the designed controller outperforms the traditional NFTSMC in the load mutation experiment,which is a performance improvement of 60.0%in the case of sudden load addition,and a performance improvement of 90.0%in the case of load release,which verifies that the designed controller outperforms the traditional NFTSMC.
文摘This paper presents a novel active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)scheme based on a cascade connection of generalized proportional integral observers(GPIOs)with internal models designed to estimate both polynomial and resonant disturbances.In this estimator structure,referred to as Cascade GPIO(CGPIO),the total disturbance sensitivity is the product of the sensitivities at each cascade level.This approach improves system performance against both periodic and non-periodic disturbances and enhances robustness under frequency variations in harmonic components.Additionally,the decoupled nature of the estimator reduces the order of the GPIOs,thereby simplifying tuning and limiting observer gains.The proposed control scheme is supported by a frequency-domain analysis and is experimentally validated in the current control of a grid-connected converter subject to control gain uncertainties,harmonic distortion,frequency deviations,and measurement noise.Experimental results demonstrate that the CGPIO-based ADRC outperforms benchmark solutions,including proportional-integral(PI)and proportional-resonant(PR)controllers.

文摘This paper studies the problem of designing a modelbased decentralized dynamic periodic event-triggering mechanism(DDPETM)for networked control systems(NCSs)subject to packet losses and external disturbances.Firstly,the entire NCSs,comprising the triggering mechanism,packet losses and output-based controller,are unified into a hybrid dynamical framework.Secondly,by introducing dynamic triggering variables,the DDPETM is designed to conserve network resources while guaranteeing desired performance properties and tolerating the maximum allowable number of successive packet losses.Thirdly,some stability conditions are derived using the Lyapunov approach.Differing from the zero-order-hold(ZOH)case,the model-based control sufficiently exploits the model information at the controller side.Between two updates,the controller predicts the plant state based on the models and received feedback information.With the model-based control,less transmission may be expected than with ZOH.Finally,numerical examples and comparative experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘This study offers an empirical comparison of the Linear Quadratic Regulator(LQR)and Fractional Order LQR(FOLQR)controllers that were implemented on a two-degrees-offreedom(2-DOF)Quanser Aero 2 helicopter platform.It employs both full and reduced-order observer designs to facilitate trajectory monitoring and stabilisation.The Aero 2 platform is dynamically modelled using Euler-Lagrange equations to develop a multi-input multi-output(MIMO)system.This system comprises two inputs and four state equations.In collaboration with observers,the LQR and FOLQR controllers approximate states that are not directly measurable by utilising the system model and available data.This procedure effectively overcomes the practical limitations of sensors.The enhanced performance of FOLQR in terms of tracking precision and stability has been depicted from the experimental results,showing real-time execution on the Aero 2 platform.This paper provides rigorous insights into control engineering and advanced observer-based control design for underactuated systems.

文摘Automated valet parking systems based on parking automated guided vehicles(P-AGVs)are effective for improving parking convenience and increasing parking density.The ability of P-AGVs to move towards any position and attain any orientation simultaneously due to their mecanum wheels makes it convenient to transport vehicles in a parking lot.In this study,a nonlinear disturbance observer-based sliding mode controller for the trajectory tracking problem of a P-AGV is proposed.The kinematic and dynamic models for a P-AGV tracking trajectory are first analyzed in sequence and the influences of disturbing forces considered.Subsequently,a nonlinear disturbance observer(NDO)is designed to estimate the disturbing forces and torques generated by the caster wheels.Based on the designed NDO,a robust nonsingular terminal sliding-mode(NTSM)controller is used to track reference trajectories.The stabilities of the NDO and NDO-NTSM control systems are theoretically verified using their Lyapunov functions.Finally,simulations and experiments are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.The experimental results show that the proposed NDO-NTSM controller can improve the trajectory tracking stability by 42-68%compared to a traditional NTSM controller.The NDO-based sliding mode controller for trajectory tracking proposed in this study can effectively reduce the impact of disturbances on trajectory tracking accuracy.

文摘In semiconductor precision packaging and other applications involving alignment of automated equipment,the nonlinear motion caused by structural characteristics and friction effects on torque-type rotating motion stages seriously affects output accuracy and stability.To solve this problem,the motion characteristics of a rotating stage and the mechanism by which friction nonlinearity influences accuracy are analyzed in detail.In addition,a compound control strategy based on a kinematic model and the Stribeck friction model is designed.A friction disturbance observer based on output position feedback is improved for simple parameter tuning.Finally,an experimental system is constructed to carry out validation tests,including identification of nonlinear characteristics and performance comparisons.The experimental results show that the linear tracking error of the torque-type rotating stage is less than 1.47µm after adoption of the proposed model-based composite control strategy,and the corresponding rotary angle deviation is less than 0.0153°.The linearity of output motion is increased to 97.59%and the error compensation effect is improved by 51.6%compared with the PID control method.The experimental results confirm that the analysis method adopted here and the proposed compensation strategy can effectively reduce frictional nonlinearity and improve motion accuracy.The proposed method can also be applied to other precision electromechanical systems.

文摘This paper investigates the observer-based prescribed-time time-varying output formation-containment(PT-TV-OFC)control problem for heterogeneous multi-agent systems in which the different agents have different state dimensions.The system comprises one tracking leader,multiple formation leaders,and followers,where two types of leaders are used to generate a reference trajectory for movement and achieve specific formation,respectively.Firstly,a prescribed-time dynamics observer is constructed for the formation leaders to estimate the tracking leader's dynamic model and state.On this basis,a prescribed-time control protocol is designed for the formation leaders to achieve time-varying output formation.Then,a prescribed-time convex hull observer is designed for the followers to estimate information regarding the convex hull formed by the formation leaders.Using the estimated convex hull information,a prescribed-time containment control protocol is designed to ensure the followers converge into the convex hull.Furthermore,using Lyapunov stability theory,the stability of systems is proved in detail,which implies that the heterogeneous multi-agent systems can achieve PT-TV-OFC control.Finally,numerical simulations validate the feasibility of the theoretical results.

文摘In order to enhance the dynamic control precision of inertial stabilization platform(ISP),a disturbance sliding mode observer(DSMO)is proposed in this paper suppressing disturbance torques inherent within the system.The control accuracy of ISP is fundamentally circumscribed by various disturbance torques in rotating shaft.Therefore,a dynamic model of ISP incorporating composite perturbations is established with regard to the stabilization of axis in the inertial reference frame.Subsequently,an online estimator for control loop uncertainties based on the sliding mode control algorithm is designed to estimate the aggregate disturbances of various parameters uncertainties and other unmodeled disturbances that cannot be accurately calibrated.Finally,the proposed DSMO is integrated into a classical proportional-integral-derivative(PID)control scheme,utilizing feedforward approach to compensate the composite disturbance in the control loop online.The effectiveness of the proposed disturbance observer is validated through simulation and hardware experimentation,demonstrating a significant improvement in the dynamic control performance and robustness of the classical PID controller extensively utilized in the field of engineering.

文摘Intercepting high-maneuverability hypersonic targets in near-space environments poses significant challenges due to their extreme speeds and evasive capabilities.To address these challenges,this study presents an integrated approach that combines a Three-Dimensional Finite-Time Optimal Cooperative Guidance Law(FTOC)with an Information Fusion Anti-saturation Predefined-time Observer(IFAPO).The proposed FTOC guidance law employs a nonlinear,non-quadratic finite-time optimal control strategy designed for rapid convergence within the limited timeframes of near-space interceptions,avoiding the need for remaining flight time estimation or linear decoupling inherent in traditional methods.To complement the guidance strategy,the IFAPO leverages multi-source information fusion theory and incorporates anti-saturation mechanisms to enhance target maneuver estimation.This method ensures accurate and real-time prediction of target acceleration while maintaining predefined convergence performance,even under complex interception conditions.By integrating the FTOC guidance law and IFAPO,the approach optimizes cooperative missile positioning,improves interception success rates,and minimizes fuel consumption,addressing practical constraints in military applications.Simulation results and comparative analyses confirm the effectiveness of the integrated approach,demonstrating its capability to achieve cooperative interception of highly maneuvering targets with enhanced efficiency and reduced economic costs,aligning with realistic combat scenarios.

文摘Accurate trajectory tracking in lower-limb exoskeletons is challenged by the nonlinear,time-varying dynamics of human-robot interaction,limited sensor availability,and unknown external disturbances.This study proposes a novel control strategy that combines flatness-based control with two cascaded observers:a high-gain observer to estimate unmeasured joint velocities,and a nonlinear disturbance observer to reconstruct external torque disturbances in real time.These estimates are integrated into the control law to enable robust,state-feedback-based trajectory tracking.The approach is validated through simulation scenarios involving partial state measurements and abrupt external torque perturbations,reflecting realistic rehabilitation conditions.Results confirm that the proposed method significantly enhances tracking accuracy and disturbance rejection capability,demonstrating its strong potential for reliable and adaptive rehabilitation assistance.

文摘To overcome external environmental disturbances,inertial parameter uncertainties and vibration of flexible modes in the process of attitude tracking,a comprehensively effective predefined-time guaranteed performance controller based on multi⁃observers for flexible spacecraft is proposed.First,to prevent unwinding phenomenon in attitude description,the rotation matrix is used to represent the spacecraft’s attitude.Second,the flexible modes observer which can guarantee predefined⁃time convergence is designed,for the case where flexible vibrations are unmeasurable in practice.What’s more,the disturbance observer is applied to estimate and compensate the lumped disturbances to improve the robustness of attitude control.A predefined-time controller is proposed to satisfy the prescribed performance and stabilize the attitude tracking system via barrier Lyapunov function.Finally,through comparative numerical simulations,the proposed controller can achieve high-precision convergence compared with the existing finite-time attitude tracking controller.This paper provides certain references for the high-precision predefined-time prescribed performance attitude tracking of flexible spacecraft with multi-disturbance.

文摘In this paper,we show the performance benefits of connecting multiple observers within a control system.We focus here on a particular observer-based control approach,namely the active disturbance rejection control(ADRC)with cascade extended state observer(ESO).For this framework,we analyze the control performance in terms of quality of observer estimation,reference tracking,disturbance rejection,sensitivity to measurement noise/unmodeled dynamics,and overall stability.A comprehensive frequency response analysis is performed to study the influence of cascading the observers on the selected quality criteria.To make the inquiry beneficial also to practitioners,FPGA-in-the-loop tests are conducted using a guided missiles gimbaled seeker.They validate the theoretical findings in discretetime settings,where the sampling time and hardware resource requirements become a factor.The results of the investigation are distilled into guidelines for prospective users on when and how a cascade observer structure can be useful for controls.
