Advanced train control systems design and use

H G Moody · 2002

The advanced train control system (ATCS) is a closed-loop, distributed control and communication system using advanced computers and digital data communication. ATCS is the application of modern command, control and communications technology to a line constrained transportation system. To date, 19 form, fit, and function specifications have been written for the ATCS. The current effort is to clarify and restructure the operating system logic, called the control flows, for the train monitor and control functions. The principal concept and design of the ATCS are presented. ATCS safety, testing, and implementation are discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

Design of Advanced Sampled Data Control Systems.

Carrie L. Phillips, Seltzer,Sherman M. · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1973

The report contains the results of research into techniques for converting analog controllers (filters) to digital controllers, such that the characteristics of the control system remain essentially the same. A major consideration was to employ as low a sampling rate as possible in the digital controller. The control system considered throughout the report was the Pershing Weapons Systems roll-axis control system. First a technique developed by B. C. Kuo was considered. This technique yields excellent results at high sampling rates, with the results not as good as the sampling rate is decreased. Next various numerical integration techniques were investigated. Only the trapezoidal rule yielded good results at low sampling rates. Finally, various techniques developed for the design of digital filters were considered, with only the bilinear transform giving good results at low sampling rates. However, the bilinear transform is equivalent to the trapezoidal rule of numerical integration. (Author)

Design of advanced control systems for flexible PWR reactors

Dupré, Guillaume · theses.fr (ABES) · 2023

La plupart des unités de production d’électricité d’origine renouvelable déployées ces dernières années sont par nature intermittentes. En l’absence de solution de stockage à grande échelle, la production et la consommation d’électricité doivent être constamment équilibrées pour garantir la stabilité du réseau. Ce rôle, traditionnellement occupé par les centrales thermiques à flamme, tend de plus en plus à être assuré par les centrales nucléaires. Ainsi, cette thèse vise à améliorer la flexibilité des réacteurs nucléaires à eau sous pression afin de répondre aux futurs besoins du réseau électrique. Pour ce faire, plusieurs systèmes de contrôle du cœur du réacteur ont été conçus en se basant sur des méthodes avancées du domaine de l’automatique, à savoir la commande prédictive et la commande à gains séquencés. Un modèle non-linéaire de réacteur multi-mailles, destiné à la synthèse de lois de commande, a notamment dû être développé. De complexité juste suffisante, il est bien adapté à des fins de prédiction court terme. La solution finalement proposée comporte deux volets : 1) un système temps réel d’aide au pilotage (brevet monde), qui fait désormais partie de l’offre commerciale de Framatome, et 2) une solution de pilotage hiérarchique compatible avec les boucles de régulation de température existantes, dont les performances sont nettement accrues en termes de flexibilité et de respect des contraintes opérationnelles, par rapport aux modes de pilotage actuels. Cette solution s’appuie sur les techniques d’implémentation de commande prédictive non-linéaire les mieux adaptées.

Advanced Robust Control Design for Micro/Nano- Positioning Systems

Al-Ghanimi, Ali · Swinburne Research Bank (Swinburne University of Technology) · 2024

The piezoelectric (PZT) micro-actuator can produce extremely small displacements in the range of subnanometer to a few hundreds micro-meters. This research is involved modeling and robust control design achieve fast and accurate positioning performance. Good application examples that using micro-actuator are the scanning probe microscopes (SPM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). These nano-positioning tools are extensively used in micro/nano applications such as the nano-manufacturing and biological cell manipulation and so on. Thus, We believe that this research can contribute to the field of motion control that utilizes the micro/nano-actuators.

Advanced Control Design for Marine Diesel Engine Propulsion Systems

R. Banning, Michael A. Johnson, M.J. Grimble · Journal of Dynamic Systems Measurement and Control · 1997

A new marine diesel engine propulsion control design procedure is proposed which is applicable to a wide range of marine vessels. This procedure combines linear optimal H∞ control methods with non-linear control techniques to address the propulsion system’s nonlinearity. Simulation results show that a tracking control system aimed at saving fuel and optimizing efficiency may be obtained which is applicable across all maneuvring regimes. This compares favorably with the situation in some operating scenarios where the use of the linear controller alone can result in poor performance or even instability.

Advanced Observer Design for Sensorless Control in Industrial Physical Systems

Haoxun Shen, Runze Guo, Dongda Liu et al. · 2024

Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are receiving considerable attention in recent years due to their promising benefits to the society, economy, and environment. The physical tier of industrial CPSs consists of various facilities, including perma nent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives, sensors, and other embedded systems. In this paper, an advanced observer design based on higher-order sliding mode (HOSM) is proposed to achieve sensorless control of PMSM drives. The designed observer estimates the back electromotive forces (EMFs), thereby the speed of the drive can be calculated using mathematical analysis. The advantages of the proposed observer such as less chattering phenomenon, improved accuracy, and robustness, are highlighted by providing a detailed comparison analysis with the existing classical sliding mode observer (SMO) and high-order sliding mode (HOSM) observer.

Design and Control Co-Optimization for Advanced Vehicle Propulsion Systems

Jianning Zhao · theses.fr (ABES) · 2017

Des technologies avancées sont très demandées dans l'industrie automobile pour respecter les réglementations de consommation de carburant de plus en plus rigoureuses. La co-optimisation du dimensionnement et du contrôle des groupes motopropulseurs avec une efficacité de calcul améliorée est étudiée dans cette thèse.Les composants des groupes motopropulseurs, tels que le moteur, la batterie et le moteur électrique, sont modélisés analytiquement au niveau descriptif et prédictif afin de permettre une optimisation du contrôle rapide et une optimisation du dimensionnement scalable. La consommation d'énergie minimale des véhicules hybrides-électriques est évaluée par des nouvelles méthodes optimales. Ces méthodes – y compris Selective Hamiltonian Minimization et GRaphical-Analysis-Based energy Consumption Optimization – permettent d'évaluer une consommation minimale d'énergie avec une efficacité de calcul améliorée. De plus, la méthode de Fully-Analytic energy Consumption Evaluation (FACE) approxime la consommation d'énergie minimale sous forme analytique en fonction des caractéristiques de la mission et des paramètres de conception des composants du groupe motopropulseur. Plusieurs cas d’études sont présentées en détail par rapport aux approches de co-optimisation à bi-niveaux et à uni-niveau, ce qui montre une réduction efficace du temps de calcul requis par le processus global de co-optimisation.

Multi-Scale Design and Control of Complex Advanced UAV Systems

Valdez, Josue Nathanael Rivera · Figshare · 2024

In this dissertation, we explore the design and control of complex advance systems at various scales with a focus on UAVs in urban environment. In Chapter 2, we introduce a standard for defining routing restrictions based on potential field and propose an air traffic management infrastructure that takes advantage of it. The infrastructure would facilitate the deployment of a collaborative platform, enabling independent parties involved in aerial travel to operate within the same airspace. Chapter 3 introduces a path planning framework tailored for restrictive routing within potential fields. At its core, it decomposes a potential field into multi-scale cells with an estimated risk for restriction violation and utilizes graph-based path planning algorithms to generate routes that are demonstratively safe. Chapter 4 formalizes a new class of neural controllers and an accompanying architecture that use Pontryagin's maximum/minimum principle to generate future state prediction of a system, and the corresponding optimal control needed to drive it to variable online reference state. The proposed model allows for adjustment of the transient characteristics of the system and control. The work sets the stage for the development of advanced flight algorithms for UAVs.

Comparable Systems Analysis: Design and Operation of Advanced Control Centers

Gerth, Jeffrey M; Kelly, Michael J; Whaley, Christopher J · Rosa P: A digital library for transportation research (United States Department of Transportation)

This research explored lessons that have been learned involving human factors in the design and operation of control centers that were similar to a generic, intelligent vehicle highway system (IVHS) class traffic management center (TMC). During an initial phase, brief visits were made at 10 existing operation control centers. Three of these were selected for more detailed study along with 8 additional centers that were strongly recommended by center managers and other researchers. During the second phase, structured interviews were completed with operators and managers at the eleven centers located in the United States, Canada and Europe. This report summarizes the critical input, data processing, and output functions that are expected to be performed by IVHS-class TMCs. It describes how these functions are currently performed by the sample of existing high-technology centers and how the functions might evolve with near-term technology advancements and automation. It addresses a series of important TMC design considerations including the user-centered design process, operator selection and training, system evolution and advanced automation, user interface design, and job performance aids.\n
