Abstract With the increasing prevalence of high-order systems in engineering applications, these systems often exhibit significant disturbances and can be challenging to model accurately. As a result, the active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) has been widely applied in various fields. However, in controlling plant protection unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are typically large and subject to significant disturbances, load disturbances and the possibility of multiple actuator faults during pesticide spraying pose significant challenges. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel fault-tolerant control method that combines a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) with a second-order ADRC and leverages a… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the problems of output voltage fluctuation and current total harmonic distortion (THD) in the front stage totem-pole bridgeless PFC of two-stage V2G (Vehicle to Grid) vehicle-mounted bi-directional converter, a fuzzy linear active disturbance rejection control strategy for V2G front-stage AC-DC power conversion system is proposed. Firstly, the topological working mode of the totem-pole bridgeless PFC is analyzed, and the mathematical model is established. Combined with the system model and the linear active disturbance rejection theory, a double closed-loop controller is designed with the second-order linear active disturbance rejection control as the voltage outer loop and PI control as… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) is a powerful control structure thanks to its performance in uncertainties, internal and external disturbances estimation and cancelation. An extended state observer (ESO) based controller is the key to the LADRC method. In this article, the LADRC scheme combined with a fractional-order integral action (FOI-LADRC) is proposed to improve the robustness of the standard LADRC. Using the robust closed-loop Bode’s ideal transfer function (BITF), an appropriate pole placement method is proposed to design the set-point tracking controller of the FOI-LADRC scheme. Numerical simulations and experimental results on a cart-pendulum system will illustrate the effectiveness… More >

Abstract A new dual-actuator fatigue loading system of wind turbine blades was designed. Compared with the traditional pendulum loading mode, the masses in this system only moved linearly along the loading direction to increase the exciting force. However, the two actuators and the blade constituted a complicated non-linear energy transferring system, which led to the non-synchronization of actuators. On-site test results showed that the virtual spindle synchronous strategy commonly used in synchronous control was undesirable and caused the instability of the blade’s amplitude eventually. A cross-coupled control strategy based on the active disturbance rejection algorithm was proposed. Firstly, a control system… More >

Abstract This paper describes a system designed for linear servo cart systems that employs an integral-based Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ILADRC) scheme to detect and respond to disturbances. The upgrade in this control technique provides extensive immunity to uncertainties, attenuation, internal disturbances, and external sources of noise. The fundamental technology base of LADRC is Extended State Observer (ESO). LADRC, when combined with Integral action, becomes a hybrid control technique, namely ILADRC. Setpoint tracking is based on Bode’s Ideal Transfer Function (BITF) in this proposed ILADRC technique. This proves to be a very robust and appropriate pole placement scheme. The proposed… More >

Abstract A linear flexible joint system using fractional order linear active disturbance rejection control is studied in this paper. With this control scheme, the performance against disturbances, uncertainties, and attenuation is enhanced. Linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) is mainly based on an extended state observer (ESO) technology. A fractional integral (FOI) action is combined with the LADRC technique which proposes a hybrid control scheme like FO-LADRC. Incorporating this FOI action improves the robustness of the standard LADRC. The set-point tracking of the proposed FO-LADRC scheme is designed by Bode's ideal transfer function (BITF) based robust closed-loop concept, an appropriate pole… More >
