Attitude control of a rigid spacecraft with one variable-speed control moment gyro

Nonlinear controllability and attitude stabilization are studied for the underactuated nonholonomic dynamics of a rigid spacecraft with one variable-speed control moment gyro （VSCMG）, which supplies only two internal torques. Nonlinear controllability theory is used to show that the dynamics are locally controllable from the equilibrium point and thus can be asymptotically stabilized to the equilibrium point via time-invariant piecewise continuous feedback laws or time-periodic continuous feedback laws. Specifically, when the total angular momentum of the spacecraft-VSCMG system is zero, any orientation can be a controllable equilib- rium attitude. In this case, the attitude stabilization problem is addressed by designing a kinematic stabilizing law, which is implemented through a nonlinear proportional and deriva- tive controller, using the generalized dynamic inverse （GDI） method. The steady-state instability inherent in the GDI con- troller is elegantly avoided by appropriately choosing control gains. In order to obtain the command gimbal rate and wheel acceleration from control torques, a simple steering logic is constructed to accommodate the requirements of attitude sta- bilization and singularity avoidance of the VSCMG. Illustrative numerical examples verify the efficacy of the proposed control strategy.

A novel control strategy of a variable-speed doubly-fed-induction-generator-based wind energy conversion system

This paper aims to address the issue of control of a variable-speed wind turbine based on doubly-fed induction generators. In this work,an effort is made to extract the maximum efficiency from a doubly-fed induction generator-based variable-speed wind turbine by controlling the rotor current. In the first step, a maximum power point tracking technique is used to extract the maximum power from theturbine. Then a stator-flux-oriented vector control strategy is employed to control the rotor-side current. Subsequently, a grid voltagevector-oriented control strategy is used to control the grid-side system of the grid-connected generator. Considering the nonlinearityand parameter uncertainty of the system, an active disturbance rejection controller with a sliding-mode-based extended-state observeris developed for the above-mentioned control strategies. Furthermore, the stability of the controller is tested and the performance of thecontroller is compared with the classical proportional-integral controller based on disturbance rejection, robustness and tracking capability in a highly non-linear wind speed variation scenario. Modelling, control and comparison are conducted in the MATLAB®/Simulink®environment. Finally, a real-time hardware set-up is presented using the dSPACE ds-1104 R&D processing board to validate the controlscheme. From the result of the experiments, it is seen that the proposed controller takes 10-15 control cycles to settle to its steady-statevalues, depending on the control loop, whereas the conventional proportional-integral controller takes 60-75 control cycles. As a result,the settling time for the proposed control scheme is shorter than that of the proportional-integral controller.

Robust Variable-Pitch Control Design of PMSG Via Perturbation Observer

Wind turbine employs pitch angle control to maintain captured power at its rated value when the wind speed is higher than rated value.This work adopts a perturbation observer based sliding-mode control(POSMC)strategy to realize robust variable-pitch control of permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG).POSMC combines system nonlinearities,parametric uncertainties,unmodelled dynamics,and time-varying external disturbances into a perturbation,which aims to estimate the perturbation via a perturbation observer without an accurate system model.Subsequently,sliding mode control(SMC)is designed to completely compensate perturbation estimation in real-time for the sake of achieving a global consistent control performance and improving system robustness under complicated environments.Simulation results indicate that,compared with vector control(VC),feedback linearization control(FLC),and nonlinear adaptive control(NAC),POSMC has the best control performance in ramp wind and random wind and the highest robustness in terms of parameter uncertainty.Specially,the integral absolute error index of!m of POSMC is only 11.69%,12.10%and 15.14%of that of VC,FLC and NAC in random wind speed.

Dynamic modelling and robust current control of wind-turbine driven DFIG during external AC voltage dip

Doubly-Fed Induction Generator （DFIG）, with vector control applied, is widely used in Variable-Speed Constant- Frequency （VSCF） wind energy generation system and shows good performance in maximum wind energy capture. But in two traditional vector control schemes, the equivalent stator magnetizing current is considered invariant in order to simplify the rotor current inner-loop controller. The two schemes can perform very well when the grid is in normal condition. However, when grid disturbance such as grid voltage dip or swell fault occurs, the control performance worsens, the rotor over current occurs and the Fault Ride-Through （FRT） capability of the DFIG wind energy generation system gets seriously deteriorated. An accurate DFIG model was used to deeply investigate the deficiency of the traditional vector control. The improved control schemes of two typical traditional vector control schemes used in DFIG were proposed, and simulation study of the proposed and traditional control schemes, with robust rotor current control using Internal Model Control （IMC） method, was carded out. The validity of the proposed modified schemes to control the rotor current and to improve the FRT capability of the DFIG wind energy generation system was proved by the comparison study.

A recursive formulation for open-loop gyroelastic multibody dynamics

In this paper,a general recursive formulation of equations of motion is presented for open-loop gyroelastic multibody systems.The gyroelastic multibody system is defined as a multibody system with gyroelastic bodies,whereas a gyroelastic body is composed of a flexible body with a cluster of double-gimbal variable-speed control moment gyroscopes(DGVs).First,the motion equations of a single gyroelastic body are derived using Kane’s method.The influence of DGVs on the static moments,modal momentum coefficients,moments of inertia,modal angular momentum coefficients,and modal mass matrix for a flexible body are considered.The interactions between the DGVs and the flexibilities of the structures are captured.The recursive kinematic relations for a multibody system with different connections are then obtained from a flexible-flexible connection using a transformation matrix.The different connections contain a flexible-flexible connection,which represents a flexible body connecting to another flexible body,flexible-rigid and rigid-rigid connections.The recursive gyroelastic multibody dynamics are obtained by analyzing the kinematics of a multibody system and the dynamics of a single gyroelastic body.Numerical simulations are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach by comparing it with a direct formulation based on Kane’s method.
