Abstract A continuous-time Model Predictive Controller was proposed using Kautz function in order to improve the performance of Load Frequency Control (LFC). A dynamic model of an interconnected power system was used for Model Predictive Controller (MPC) design. MPC predicts the future trajectory of the dynamic model by calculating the optimal closed loop feedback gain matrix. In this paper, the optimal closed loop feedback gain matrix was calculated using Kautz function. Being an Orthonormal Basis Function (OBF), Kautz function has an advantage of solving complex pole-based nonlinear system. Genetic Algorithm (GA) was applied to optimally tune More >

Abstract A bio-inspired global finite time control using global fast-terminal sliding mode controller and radial basis function network is presented in this article, to address the attitude tracking control problem of the three degree-of-freedom four-rotor hover system. The proposed controller provides convergence of system states in a pre-determined finite time and estimates the unmodeled dynamics of the four-rotor system. Dynamic model of the four-rotor system is derived with Newton’s force equations. The unknown dynamics of four-rotor systems are estimated using Radial basis function. The bio-inspired global fast terminal sliding mode controller is proposed to provide chattering… More >

Abstract Human voluntary movements are complex physical phenomenon and there are several physiological factors that control the movement and transient response, steady state position, speed of motion and other characteristics. Many experimentalists described variety of variables important for human balance and movement such as center of mass, center of pressure, ground reaction forces etc. In this study, we discuss a bipedal model for biomechanical sit to stand movement with optimal controller design. The cost optimization for gain scheduling is based upon physiological variables of center of mass, head position, and ground reaction forces. Our simulation results More >
