OBSO Based Fractional PID for MPPT-Pitch Control of Wind Turbine Systems

In recent times,wind energy receives maximum attention and has become a significant green energy source globally.The wind turbine(WT)entered into several domains such as power electronics that are employed to assist the connection process of a wind energy system and grid.The turbulent characteristics of wind profile along with uncertainty in the design of WT make it highly challenging for prolific power extraction.The pitch control angle is employed to effectively operate the WT at the above nominal wind speed.Besides,the pitch controller needs to be intelligent for the extraction of sustainable secure energy and keep WTs in a safe operating region.To achieve this,proportional–integral–derivative(PID)controllers are widely used and the choice of optimal parameters in the PID controllers needs to be properly selected.With this motivation,this paper designs an oppositional brain storm optimization(OBSO)based fractional order PID(FOPID)design for sustainable and secure energy in WT systems.The proposed model aims to effectually extract the maximum power point(MPPT)in the low range of weather conditions and save the WT in high wind regions by the use of pitch control.The OBSO algorithm is derived from the integration of oppositional based learning(OBL)concept with the traditional BSO algorithm in order to improve the convergence rate,which is then applied to effectively choose the parameters involved in the FOPID controller.The performance of the presented model is validated on the pitch control of a 5 MW WT and the results are examined under different dimensions.The simulation outcomes ensured the promising characteristics of the proposed model over the other methods.

Fractional Order Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control for Linear Flexible Joint System

A linear flexible joint system using fractional order linear active disturbance rejection control is studied in this paper.With this control scheme,the performance against disturbances,uncertainties,and attenuation is enhanced.Linear active disturbance rejection control(LADRC)is mainly based on an extended state observer(ESO)technology.A fractional integral(FOI)action is combined with the LADRC technique which proposes a hybrid control scheme like FO-LADRC.Incorporating this FOI action improves the robustness of the standard LADRC.The set-point tracking of the proposed FO-LADRC scheme is designed by Bode’s ideal transfer function(BITF)based robust closed-loop concept,an appropriate pole placement method.The effectiveness of the proposed FO-LADRC scheme is illustrated through experimental results on the linear flexible joint system(LFJS).The results show the enhancement of the robustness with disturbance rejection.Furthermore,a comparative analysis is presented with the results obtained using the integer-order LADRC and FO-LADRC scheme.

Non-integer Order Control Scheme for Pressurized Water Reactor Core Power

Tracking load changes in a pressurized water reactor(PWR)with the help of an efficient core power control scheme in a nuclear power station is very important.The reason is that it is challenging to maintain a stable core power according to the reference value within an acceptable tolerance for the safety of PWR.To overcome the uncertainties,a non-integer-based fractional order control method is demonstrated to control the core power of PWR.The available dynamic model of the reactor core is used in this analysis.Core power is controlled using a modified state feedback approach with a non-integer integral scheme through two different approximations,CRONE(Commande Robuste d’Ordre Non Entier,meaning Non-integer orderRobust Control)and FOMCON(non-integer order modeling and control).Simulation results are produced using MATLAB■program.Both non-integer results are compared with an integer order PI(Proportional Integral)algorithm to justify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.Sate-spacemodel Core power control Non-integer control Pressurized water reactor PI controller CRONE FOMCON.

Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control with a Fractional-Order Integral Action

Linear active disturbance rejection control(LADRC)is a powerful control structure thanks to its performance in uncertainties,internal and external disturbances estimation and cancelation.An extended state observer(ESO)based controller is the key to the LADRC method.In this article,the LADRC scheme combined with a fractional-order integral action(FOILADRC)is proposed to improve the robustness of the standard LADRC.Using the robust closed-loop Bode’s ideal transfer function(BITF),an appropriate pole placement method is proposed to design the set-point tracking controller of the FOI-LADRC scheme.Numerical simulations and experimental results on a cart-pendulum system will illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed FOI-LADRC scheme for the disturbance rejection,the set-point tracking and the improved robustness.To illustrate the LADRC control schemes and to verify the performance of the proposed FOI-LADRC,compared to the standard LADRC and IOI-LADRC structures,two tests will be carried out.First,simulation tests on an academic example will be presented to show the effect of the different parameters of the control law on the performance of the closed-loop system.Then,these three control structures are implemented on an experimental test bench,the cart-pendulum system,to show their efficiency and to show the superiority of the proposed method compared to the two other structures.

Control of Linear Servo Carts with Integral-Based Disturbance Rejection

This paper describes a system designed for linear servo cart systems that employs an integral-based Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control(ILADRC)scheme to detect and respond to disturbances.The upgrade in this control technique provides extensive immunity to uncertainties,attenuation,internal disturbances,and external sources of noise.The fundamental technology base of LADRC is Extended State Observer(ESO).LADRC,when combined with Integral action,becomes a hybrid control technique,namely ILADRC.Setpoint tracking is based on Bode’s Ideal Transfer Function(BITF)in this proposed ILADRC technique.This proves to be a very robust and appropriate pole placement scheme.The proposed LSC system has experimented with the hybrid ILADRC technique plotted the results.From the results,it is evident that the proposed ILADRC scheme enhances the robustness of the LSC system with remarkable disturbance rejection.Furthermore,the results of a linear quadratic regulator(LQR)and ILADRC schemes are comparatively analyzed.This analysis deduced the improved performance of ILADRC over the LQR control scheme.
