Data Driven Pre Tuning Adaptive Subspace Model Predictive Control, Han Pu, Liu Miao, Jia Hao Jan 2019

Data Driven Pre Tuning Adaptive Subspace Model Predictive Control, Han Pu, Liu Miao, Jia Hao

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: The problem of predictive control is investigated for power plant superheated steam temperature system with the characteristics of large delay, large inertia and time-varying. The data driven pre tuning adaptive subspace model predictive control (PTA-MPC) method, which combines the advantages of subspace identification and state space predictive control, is proposed. The state space models of multiple conditions are obtained by subspace identification with the input signal in persistent excitation. The predictive control law is derived with the state space models, and the controller parameters are optimized by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Based on the least square parameter …


Sensorless Second-Order Switching Surface For A Three-Level Boost Converter, Tarek Messikh, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, Saad Mekhilef Jan 2019

Sensorless Second-Order Switching Surface For A Three-Level Boost Converter, Tarek Messikh, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, Saad Mekhilef

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a sensorless second-order switching surface to control a three-level boost converter (TLBC). A predictive current method is proposed to reduce the number of sensors in the normal second-order switching surface method. Based on a developed model of the TLBC, the current is estimated and a switching surface is formulated in the state-energy plane. Simulation and hardware tests are carried out to verify the viability and the effectiveness of the proposed control technique. Results obtained show a good performance of the converter in term of DC-bus balancing and fast dynamic response under sudden load change.
