As photovoltaic energy is clean, renewable, and less noisy, it is increasingly integrated into the grid. This integration aims to overcome energy deficits and get rid of pollution from conventional sources. In this paper, a two-stage configuration of PV energy conversion to a three-phase grid has been studied. The control of this configuration can be divided into two parts, such as DC bus control and AC bus control. The DC bus is controlled by MPPT control. The AC bus is controlled by DC link voltage control, phase-looked loop control, and voltage source inverter control. The contribution in this study aims to improve the quality of energy injected via a new hybrid approach to MPPT control. The proposed control is a combination of robust sliding-mode control and incremental inductance. Unlike conventional hybridization, the proposed control estimates correct the error upon entry of the conductance incremental control. This correction provides an adaptive incremental step for increment conductance control. The proposed control is compared with three other controls under MATLAB/Simulink. Such as incremental conductance, variable step size incremental conductance, and conventional hybrid MPPT incremental inductance-sliding mode control. The simulation results show a remarkable minimization of the ripple phenomenon and the chatter phenomenon. Thus, the quality of the energy injected into the network is improved, such as by reducing the total harmonic distortion of the current and increasing efficiency.

For nonlinear, strongly coupled, underdriven quadcopters in the context of modeling complexity and demanding performance requirements for the controller, this paper proposes a strategy based on an improved genetic algorithm to optimize the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) controller. To make the quadcopter continue to fly stably in a complex environment, the dynamics model of the quadcopter was firstly established, the mathematical model was simplified according to the real world, and the ADRC controller of the quadcopter was designed. Given a large number of ADRC controller parameters, the difficulty of manual tuning and obtaining the optimal control effect, and the shortcomings of the genetic algorithm in solving the problem of local optimal and precocious convergence, a control strategy based on improved genetic algorithm to optimize ADRC’s parameters is proposed to improve the genetic diversity in the population and enhance the adaptability of individuals to the environment, ITAE (Integral-of-Time-multiple Absolute Error) evaluation index is selected as the fitness value. Finally, the model of the control system is built according to the real aircraft. The application results prove that the altitude, attitude of the quadcopter are controlled stably, and it is verified that the control strategy based on the improved genetic algorithm optimizing ADRC has faster rapidity, stronger tracking performance, and robustness in altitude, attitude control of the quadcopter, which has greater practical application value.

The rapid development of high-speed railways (HSR) worldwide has provided a fast, convenient, safe, and comfortable mode of transportation. It is also an important public transportation tool for green travel, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions. HSR has a strong competitive advantage in long-distance passenger transportation, but it faces significant competition from the aviation industry. Airlines attract passengers with discounted fares and differentiated pricing strategies, apart from shorter travel times. Therefore, it is necessary for railway enterprises to enhance their competitiveness through differentiated pricing methods for HSR. In this study, we focus on optimizing a long-distance origin-destination (OD) pair and creating a competitive market environment by considering all operating trains and flights for the selected OD pair. We aim to improve the realism of the study by considering passengers’ fully rational travel choice behavior. To reduce the complexity of variables, passengers are grouped based on their expected departure time and income level. A mixed integer linear programing model is developed to address the problem, aiming to minimize overall travel costs for passengers while ensuring that the income of the railway enterprise does not fall below a specified value. By setting this specific value, the maximum revenue of HSR train tickets can be obtained.
全球高速铁路(高铁)的快速发展为人们提供了一种快速、便捷、安全、舒适的交通方式。它也是绿色出行的重要公共交通工具,为减少碳排放做出了贡献。高铁在长途客运方面具有强大的竞争优势,但也面临着航空业的激烈竞争。航空公司除了缩短旅行时间外,还以折扣票价和差异化定价策略吸引乘客。因此,铁路企业有必要通过高铁差异化定价方法来增强自身竞争力。在本研究中,我们重点优化一对长途始发站(OD),并通过考虑选定 OD 对的所有运营列车和航班来创造竞争性市场环境。我们旨在通过考虑乘客完全理性的旅行选择行为来提高研究的现实性。为减少变量的复杂性,我们根据乘客的预期出发时间和收入水平对其进行分组。为解决这一问题,我们建立了一个混合整数线性规划模型,旨在使乘客的总体旅行成本最小化,同时确保铁路企业的收入不低于特定值。通过设定这一特定值,可获得最大的高铁火车票收入。

This research introduces an innovative methodology for the integrated modeling, simulation, and analysis of two fingers, with particular emphasis on their fundamental roles in everyday tasks. In this study, we provide two nonlinear control strategies, specifically Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Feedback Linearization Control (FLC), to achieve accurate and stable finger movements. As mentioned earlier, the controllers are utilized in the context of a biomechanical model consisting of two fingers, each possessing two degrees of freedom. These controllers enable the coordination of flexion and extension movements. The research conducted in our study emphasizes the coordinated regulation of finger movements, enabling the achievement of flexion through the utilization of two nonlinear controllers. By implementing these sophisticated control mechanisms, we can effectively showcase our model’s fidelity in adhering to the physiological limitations inherent to human fingers in their natural state. In addition, the proposed controllers demonstrate sound mitigation of non-linearities, such as load variations, different velocities, positional changes, and damping forces. This approach presents several advantages, such as handling non-linearities, guaranteeing robustness, choosing suitable parameters, and conducting comparative analysis. In order to substantiate our findings, we develop the nonlinear model utilizing the MATLAB/Simulink software. The findings of our study demonstrate effective regulation and control of the two-finger model’s position. In our study, we were able to get flexion angles of [Formula: see text] rad and [Formula: see text] rad using the sliding mode control (SMC) technique, and flexion angles of [Formula: see text] rad and [Formula: see text] rad using the fuzzy logic control (FLC) technique, all within a time frame of 5 s. These results serve to illustrate the applicability and significance of our proposed methodology.

Rehabilitation exoskeleton robots play a crucial role in restoring functional lower limb movements for individuals with locomotor disorders. Numerous research studies have concentrated on adapting the control of these rehabilitation robotic systems. In this study, we investigate an affine state-feedback control law for robust position control of a knee exoskeleton robot, taking into account its nonlinear dynamic model that includes solid and viscous frictions. To ensure robust stabilization, we employ the Lyapunov approach and propose three methods to establish stability conditions using the Schur complement, the Young inequality, the matrix inversion lemma, and the S-procedure lemma. These conditions are formulated as Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive comparison among these methods to determine the most efficient approach. At the end of this work, we present simulation results to validate the developed LMI conditions and demonstrate the effectiveness of the adopted control law in achieving robust position control of the knee exoskeleton robot.

This paper presents a trajectory tracking control scheme for underactuated surface vessels (USVs) with input delay. Firstly, the underactuated surface vessel system is transformed into a fully actuated system using differential flatness theory. To estimate the unknown nonlinear terms introduced in the transformation process, a fuzzy neural network (FNN) is employed. Secondly, to conserve control resources and communication bandwidth, the controller of the system under prescribed performance is designed using the backstepping method. This method updates the controller according to an event-triggered condition that is designed using a Lyapunov function. Finally, theoretical proof and simulation experiments are conducted to demonstrate the convergence and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Scholars and engineers attach great importance to fault detection in mechanical systems due to the unpredictable faults that arise from long-term operations under complex and extreme conditions. The fact that each type of fault embodies unique characteristics makes it challenging to obtain sufficient fault samples, and conventional machine learning methods fail to provide satisfactory fault diagnosis results. To address this issue, a simulation-driven fault detection method has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the DT model of the gear transmission system was established. An improved multi-objective sparrow search algorithm (MOSSA) was employed to update the model and obtain an adequate number of simulation fault samples as well. Secondly, a two-stage adversarial domain adaptation model with full-scale feature fusion (ADAM-FF) was utilized to align and integrate the features of simulated and generated fault samples. This enables model training and classification of combined samples, facilitating the detection of unknown faults in actual measurements. Lastly, a simulation-driven equipment health index assessment model which accurately and non-destructively evaluates the degradation status of the equipment was introduced. This model effectively quantifies the extent of equipment degradation, thereby facilitating the transfer from the simulation realm to practical engineering applications. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed fault detection method, an experimental study was conducted on the extruder gear reducer of a petrochemical enterprise. The proposed fault detection method has the potential for widespread application across a range of large-scale mechanical equipment. As such, the utilization of this method will enable proactive maintenance planning, ensure safe and stable equipment operations, and minimize energy loss.

Concrete is indispensable in contemporary industry, and the weighing of aggregates directly determines the quality of concrete preparation. In response to the difficulty of traditional methods in meeting the industrial requirements for accuracy, efficiency, and cost of measurement, this paper proposes a non-contact bone pile weight measurement method based on binocular vision. Firstly, the on-site image is obtained through a binocular camera, and the camera parameters are used to improve the image edge information and preprocess the image. Then, the improved semi global matching (SGM) algorithm is used to improve computational efficiency, obtaining three-dimensional information of the aggregate pile for volume calculation. Based on the watershed algorithm and T-S inference, the aggregate clearance rate is calculated, and the initial volume is corrected. Finally, a linear relationship is established between the density of the aggregate pile and the clearance rate, and the weight of the aggregate pile can be obtained by the density formula. The experimental results on different sizes of aggregate piles shows that the average error of the experiment is less than 4%. Efficiency of improved SGM matching algorithm has increased several times compared to the original algorithm, providing a low-cost and efficient measurement method for industrial aggregate weighing.

To address the inaccurate contour error calculation problem in traditional cross-coupled control (CCC) methods for biaxial motion systems, this paper presents a novel CCC method based on a recently developed tangential velocity tracking (TVT) strategy. It has the advantage that existing high-precision algorithms for searching the foot point can be directly integrated to obtain the excellent estimation accuracy of contour error. The cumbersome parameter tuning for position controllers of each axis is unnecessary. Moreover, a velocity interpolator for parametric curves is developed to extend the TVT strategy to the variable feedrate case. The stability of the TVT-based CCC system is proved using a quadratic Lyapunov function. Comparative experiments are carried out, and the results indicate that the estimation deviation of contour error in the TVT-based CCC method can be constrained within 1 μm. The maximum contour error is significantly reduced by 65.32% and 50.10% compared with the traditional CCC methods based on tangential and circular approximations, respectively.

The maximum contour error is significantly reduced by 65.32% and 50.10% compared with the traditional CCC methods based on tangential and circular approximations, respectively.","PeriodicalId":510299,"journal":{"name":"Measurement and Control","volume":"19 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140232710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aiming at high misdetection of mechanical faults under imbalanced samples, a roundtrip probability-based method is proposed. By roundtrip mapping between latent variables and real fault data, biased estimation of the probability distribution of real fault data is obtained. Further, virtual fault data are sampled according to such distribution to increase sample amount. For recognition of real and virtual data, loss function based on binary cross-entropy is designed. For reconstruction between fault data and its roundtrip mapped results, objective function based on mean square error is designed. Thus, it preserves boundary data and avoids too many virtual data in central area. Meanwhile, a strategy for eliminating abnormal samples is designed to reduce boundary deviation. For supporting the advantage of roundtrip, in-depth reasons for misdetection are analyzed from empirical risk and structural risk. Experiments on 30 benchmark imbalanced test sets show that fault detection rate increases after amount enhancement. Additionally, it is verified on blade cracking and bearing fault detection. Results show that F1 score increases from 0.485 to 0.51 and 0.725 to 0.775 for such two cases.
