We develop the STS control logic, which transfers the critical load from the preferred feeder to the alternate feeder when a voltage sag or a fault occurs on the preferred feeder. A forced commutation technique is proposed and implemented to turn off the preferred feeders＇ thyristor, thus avoiding cross current to flow and minimizing the transfer time. Simulation results show that the forced commutation technique is more effective as compared to the recently proposed time delay technique for STS operation. Two different feeders, namely New Exchange, the preferred feeder, and Sector 1-10/2, the alternate feeder of Islamabad Electric Supply COmpany （IESCO）, Pakistan, have been selected for case studies. The software PSCAD/EMTDC professional package has been used for simulation.展开更多

The general case of asynchronous switching is considered for the first time in the field of BTC for switched systems. A new approach called interpolated bumpless transfer control(IBTC) is proposed, where the bumpless transfer controllers are formulated with the combination of the two adjacent modedependent controller gains, and are interpolated for finite steps once the switching is detected. In contrast with the existing approaches, IBTC does not necessarily run through the full interval of subsystems, as well as possesses the time-varying controller gains(with more flexibility and less conservatism) achieved from a control synthesis allowing for the stability and other performance of the whole switched system. Sufficient conditions ensuring stability and H_(∞) performance of the underlying system by IBTC are developed, and numerical examples verify the theoretical findings.展开更多

文摘For the n-qubit stochastic open quantum systems,based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and LaSalle’s invariant set principle,a pure state switching control based on on-line estimated state feedback(short for OQST-SFC)is proposed to realize the state transition the pure state of the target state including eigenstate and superposition state.The proposed switching control consists of a constant control and a control law designed based on the Lyapunov method,in which the Lyapunov function is the state distance of the system.The constant control is used to drive the system state from an initial state to the convergence domain only containing the target state,and a Lyapunov-based control is used to make the state enter the convergence domain and then continue to converge to the target state.At the same time,the continuous weak measurement of quantum system and the quantum state tomography method based on the on-line alternating direction multiplier(QST-OADM)are used to obtain the system information and estimate the quantum state which is used as the input of the quantum system controller.Then,the pure state feedback switching control method based on the on-line estimated state feedback is realized in an n-qubit stochastic open quantum system.The complete derivation process of n-qubit QST-OADM algorithm is given;Through strict theoretical proof and analysis,the convergence conditions to ensure any initial state of the quantum system to converge the target pure state are given.The proposed control method is applied to a 2-qubit stochastic open quantum system for numerical simulation experiments.Four possible different position cases between the initial estimated state and that of the controlled system are studied and discussed,and the performances of the state transition under the corresponding cases are analyzed.

文摘This paper studies the time-varying formation-containment tracking control problems for unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)swarm systems with switching topologies and a non-cooperative target,where the UAV swarm systems consist of one tracking-leader,several formation-leaders,and followers.The formation-leaders are required to accomplish a predefined time-varying formation and track the desired trajectory of the tracking-leader,and the states of the followers should converge to the convex hull spanned by those of the formation-leaders.First,a formation-containment tracking protocol is proposed with the neighboring relative information,and the feasibility condition for formation-containment tracking and the algebraic Riccati equation are given.Then,the stability of the control system with the designed control protocol is proved by constructing a reasonable Lyapunov function.Finally,the simulation examples are applied to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.The simulation results show that both the formation tracking error and the containment error are convergent,so the system can complete the formation containment tracking control well.In the actual battlefield,combat UAVs need to chase and attack hostile UAVs,but sometimes when multiple UAVs work together for military interception,formationcontainment tracking control will occur.
文摘This paper addresses the problem of containment control for heterogeneous multi-agent systems subject to Markovian randomly switching topologies and unbounded communication delays.The objective is to design a distributed control strategy that ensures the output of each follower converges to the convex hull formed by the outputs of a group of leaders in mean square sense.A novel distributed observer is proposed by tackling both Markovian randomly switching topologies and unbounded delays.Then,a distributed state feedback controller and a distributed output feedback controller are developed based on the distributed observer,respectively.Finally,simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers.

文摘Memristors have a synapse-like two-terminal structure and electrical properties,which are widely used in the construc-tion of artificial synapses.However,compared to inorganic materials,organic materials are rarely used for artificial spiking synapses due to their relatively poor memrisitve performance.Here,for the first time,we present an organic memristor based on an electropolymerized dopamine-based memristive layer.This polydopamine-based memristor demonstrates the improve-ments in key performance,including a low threshold voltage of 0.3 V,a thin thickness of 16 nm,and a high parasitic capaci-tance of about 1μF·mm^(-2).By leveraging these properties in combination with its stable threshold switching behavior,we con-struct a capacitor-free and low-power artificial spiking neuron capable of outputting the oscillation voltage,whose spiking fre-quency increases with the increase of current stimulation analogous to a biological neuron.The experimental results indicate that our artificial spiking neuron holds potential for applications in neuromorphic computing and systems.

文摘Switched Reluctance Motors(SRMs),outfitted with rugged construction,good speed range,high torque density,and rare earth-free nature that outweigh induction motors(IM)and permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM),afford a broad range of applications in the domain of electric vehicles(EVs).Standard copper magnetic wire and low-carbon steel laminations are used to construct SRMs,which give them high efficiency in the range of 85-95%.Despite SRM's desirable features over traditional motor-speed drives,high torque ripples and radial distortions constrain their deployment in EVs.Precise rotor position is imperative for effective management of the speed and torque of SRMs.This paper provides an illustrative compendium on review of the torque-speed control and ripple mitigation techniques using design enhancements and control methods for SRM drives for EV applications.The various schemes were evaluated on their performance metricsoperational speed range,control complexity,practical realization,need for pre-stored parameters(look-up tables of current,inductance and torque profiles)and motor controller memory requirements.The findings provide valuable insights into balancing the gains and trade-offs associated with EV applications.Furthermore,they pinpoint opportunities for enhancement by analyzing the cost and technical aspects of different SRM controllers.
