The problem of designing a controller for a magnetic bearing is considered in this paper using H/sub /spl infin// optimisation. Classical criteria being unable to insure a satisfying closed loop behaviour, the input and the output of the flexible modes are used as supplementary degrees of freedom. Continuous-time and discrete-time syntheses are considered. The proposed approach allows to conveniently tune the closed-loop behaviour while satisfying severe constraints on the control capability.<>

The coordinative adaptive control problem of two space robots holding a common object is investigated in this paper based on virtual decomposition. The original system is virtually decomposed into the object, the links, the bases, the reaction wheels, and the joints. Only the dynamic models of the rigid body and the joint are needed for control purpose. The degrees of freedom of the systems are partitioned into two categories: one is designed for position/orientation control and another is used to treat the driven force/moment constraints at the bases, a special problem about the space robots arisen from the motivation of fuel reservation. The proposed control algorithm is essentially a Newton-Euler type algorithm. The stability and the convergence of the original system are ensured based on Lyapunov analysis.<>

Active variable-speed control of wind turbines requires good knowledge of the dynamics to be controlled. This is particularly important when combined with the increasingly common soft concept, resulting in structural eigenfrequencies within the closed-loop bandwidth. The purpose of the authors' work is to model the drive system in order to make possible the future design of an effective control system. In this paper, a physical model of the fundamental drive-system dynamics of a 400 kW horizontal axis variable-speed wind turbine is derived. The numerical parameter values in this model are then estimated from an identification experiment in closed loop on the real turbine using additional excitation (PRBS). Various identification schemes are compared and are shown to give consistent results in good agreement with the assumed physical model structure.<>

The paper deals with a new algorithm of a digital self-tuning PID controller. The controller parameters are derived on the basis of the pole placement approach. For parameter estimates of the proces model, the recursive least squares method (RLSM) with the LD decomposition and with directional forgetting is applied. The controller is designed especially for process control without overshoot of the process output; it will be used for temperature control of a thermo-analyzer.<>

Classical control system design methods for linear systems cannot be directly applied to systems with delays, aftereffects or with any kind of hereditary properties. With respect to frequent occurrence of these phenomena in controlled plants a so-called anisochronic state model based on a functional modification of standard state space approach has been introduced to manage any kind of aftereffects in system dynamics. Using this model a new method of control parameter assignment is presented providing a prescribed oscillation damping (or characteristic equation roots) of the control process. The total differential of system characteristic functions and Lagrange multipliers are applied in the system synthesis. The design procedure is demonstrated on a heat transfer control.<>

This paper considers the design of a decentralized adaptive controller for a water distribution system. This system consists of a 40-kilometer long canal connected to three secondary canals and four main reservoirs supplied by a 7 m/sup 3/ s/sup -1/ river (the Bourne river). More than 20 pumping stations are distributed along the canals, bringing water to the agricultural plain of Valence (South-East of France). The system is currently manually operated through flow control gates. The author's medium-term objective is to automatically operate this system and to improve water distribution efficiency and safety. In terms of control the primary goal is to satisfy the water demand at each pumping station, while guaranteeing a minimum water level, overflow avoidance and minimum wastes of water, in each section and reservoir of the system. The author's approach is divided into two main stages. An on-line identification procedure based both on a multi-input multi-output parametrized model and Kalman filtering. A state-space predictive control scheme using a Kalman state estimator defined on the basis of the on-line identified model. The author shows how this control scheme can be decentralized in case of large-scale water distribution systems, such as the author's process.<>

This paper presents a compact, efficient algebraic description for a piecewise linear system and describes a method whereby a standard commercial graphical tool (SIMULINK) used for building and simulating systems can be exploited to generate the piecewise linear algebraic system description in a simple and quick manner.<>

Vibrational control is a nonclassical technique proposing the utilisation of zero mean parametric vibrations for shaping the response of a linear or nonlinear dynamic system. Several theoretical results on vibrational control are available in literature. In the case of nonlinear systems computational difficulties arise and theoretical results cannot easily be applied. A new averaging technique, based on the Taylor series expansion of the nonlinear system, is proposed in order to overcome such difficulties.<>

The paper presents applications of sensitivity functions to electrical systems supplied by static converters. We give an application to the synthesis of a digital control network of the output voltage of a variable frequency converter. We use the nonlinear model of the converter and thus the computation of optimal gains for a classical control structure is valid for large variations of the entry. Simulation results illustrates the good performances of this method.<>
