    Neural network-PID controller for roll fin stabilizer

    , Article Polish Maritime Research ; Volume 17, Issue 2 , 2010 , Pages 23-28 ; 12332585 (ISSN) Ghassemi, H ; Dadmarzi, F ; Ghadimi, P ; Ommani, B ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Fin stabilizers are very effective devices for controlling the ship roll motion against external wave-generated moments. Lift forces due to flow around fin with an angle of attack produce anti - roll moment. Therefore control of attack angle plays important role in reducing roll of ships. This paper presents results of using a combined neural network and PID for roll control of ship with small draught. Numerical results are given of around-fin flow analysis with considering free surface effect modelled by neural network and imposed to controlling loop. Hydraulic machinery constraints are also considered in the modelling. The obtained results show good performance of the controller in...

    Abstract
    This paper discusses the identification process of engine dynamics and presents derived transfer function models including; thrust, shaft speed, compressor exit pressure and turbine exit temperature in relation to the fuel flow. Model identification approach, presented in this paper, is the first to consider frequency-sweep signals to excite dynamics, as well as to utilise windowing and smoothing techniques to reduce random errors in the spectral estimates. Here, frequency sweep provides a fairly uniform spectral excitation and chirp-z transform warrants the exact determination of the frequency responses that are robust to the uncertainties. The identified models are also validated with the...

    Abstract
    Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) plant is a multivariable, nonlinear and non minimum phase system, which control of this plant, is very difficult. This paper presents a new approach to control of HVAC system. The proposed method is a hybrid of fuzzy logic and PID controller. Simulation results show that this control strategy is very robust, flexible and alternative performance. To evaluate the usefulness of the proposed method, we compare the response of this method with PID controller. The simulation results show that our method has the better control performance than PID controller  

    Robust stability check for fractional PID-based control systems

    , Article Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control ; Volume 35, Issue 2 , 2013 , Pages 236-246 ; 01423312 (ISSN) Akbari Moornani, K ; Haeri, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    This paper considers a closed-loop system consisting of a fractional/integer order system and a fractional PID controller. Assuming that the uncertain coefficients of the fractional PID controller lie in some known intervals independently (i.e. that controller is a member of an interval family), the paper presents some easy to use theorems to investigate the robust bounded-input bounded-output stability of the resultant closed-loop system. Moreover, a finite frequency bound required in drawing the related graphs has also been provided. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the results  

    Design of PID and FOPID Controllers Via Geometric Programming

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rezagholipour, Mehdi (Author) ; Sadati, Nasser (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    PID controllers are very famous and widely used in industry due to their simplicity, effectiveness,robustness and readily tunable parameters. They have been known since 1890 and various methods for its design have been introduced until now. Among them, we can name Ziegler-ichols and CHR that are widely used. Fractional order PID (FIPID) controllers are a more generel case of classic PID controllers and have a better capability to control dynamic systems beacause they have more free parameters. The present project demonestrates application of geometric programming (GP) to design PI, PID and FOPID controllers. GP is a kind of optimization problem in which the objective and constraint functions...

    Design of fractional order proportional-integral-derivative controller based on moment matching and characteristic ratio assignment method

    , Article Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part I: Journal of Systems and Control Engineering ; Volume 225, Issue 8 , December , 2011 , Pages 1040-1053 ; 09596518 (ISSN) Tabatabaei, M ; Haeri, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2011
    Abstract
    This paper presents a new analytical method to design fractional-order proportional- integral-derivative (PID) controllers. The control parameters are calculated so that the closedloop system approximates a desired transfer function with transient response requirements. This function is determined based on the characteristic ratio assignment method. The control parameters are calculated by matching the first three moments of the closed-loop transfer function with the corresponding values of the desired system. Furthermore, to ensure closed-loop stability the proposed method is improved by using the shifted moments around the crossover frequency. Illustrative examples are given to show the...

    Abstract
    In this paper, a restricted structure of PID controller is proposed for automobile gas turbine by considering a LQG cost function. So PID Controller coefficients are calculated by minimizing this cost function. One of the most important characteristics of this approach, its ability to design various structure PID controllers by solving optimization problem only for one time, moreover it can approximate main optimization problem by a repetitive Quadratic optimization Problem (QP). This approach is convex optimization and has an analytic solution; therefore its calculations are not complicated. In defined cost function, there are two weighting functions, control error and control action; they...

    Abstract
    In this paper we propose to control a bipedal robot in an unstable position by means of a PID controller that gains are turned by a fuzzy logic system. For that, a model of planar 3 linked segment consisting of limb, trunk and extended arms with fixed base is used. Fuzzy if-then rules are constructed based on human expert knowledge and biomechanics studies for tuning of PID's gain. For construction of tuning rules, we have developed an optical measuring system to record experimental data of balance keeping of a human in an unstable position. The control model is based on three sets of different global variables: (1) limb orientation and its derivative, (2) trunk/upper attitude and its...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Mosallanejad, Ali (Author) ; Seif, Mohammad Saeed (Supervisor) ; Mehdigholi, Hamid (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    One of the reducing and controlling tools of high speed crafts is intelligent interceptor. Interceptor is a small blade that is originally installed vertically in stern. This blade creates a high pressure area under hull of the craft and produces lift force and a moment to the bow. The amount of lift force and moment can be changed by controlling the height of the blade. The intelligent interceptor (with automatic change in height of the blade) does the same thing. In this study, structural and software design of intelligent interceptor is done. In software field, optimal and PID controller are designed for interceptor system and the performances are studied in MATLAB SimuLink. The results...

    Impedance Force Control of a Robot Manipulator Using a Neuro-Fuzzy Controller

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kharmandar, Negar (Author) ; Khayyat, Amir Ali Akbar (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    The present study discusses the problem of enabling a PUMA 560 electrical robot manipulator to interact with the environment using impedance control concept. The impedance control strategy maintains a pre-specified desired second order dynamic relation between the end-effector position and force and enables a stable transmission between unconstrained and constrained motion. In this study Position-Based Impedance Control (PBIC) is used which is more suitable for industrial manipulators. PBIC requires a position controller with high accuracy. Therefore, a nonlinear PID controller is used in the position loop which is capable of both tracking and regulating of the input signals and shows better...
