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.展开更多

Automatic control is crucial for the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines. On the basis of simplified and proper model of variable speed variable pitch wind turbines, the effective wind speed is estimated using extended Kaiman filter. Intelligent control schemes proposed in the paper include two loops which operate in synchronism with each other. At below-rated wind speed, the inner loop adopts adaptive fuzzy control based on variable universe for generator torque regulation to realize maximum wind energy capture. At above-rated wind speed, a controller based on least square support vector machine is proposed to adjust pitch angle and keep rated output power. The simulation shows the effectiveness of the intelligent control.展开更多

To solve this problem, a novel pitch control surface, belly-flap, has been presented. In this paper, the feasibility of belly-flap being used as a transonic pitch control device for tailless configuration is investigated on a BWB in-body airfoil, using the computationalfluid dynamic (CFD) method. The size, location and deflection angle of the flap are studied to detect their effect on the aerodynamic characteristics. The results reveal that the bubble separation due to the belly-flap can affect shock position on the upper surface of the airfoil and change the surface pressure distribution. By choosing appropriate geometry parameters, the load distribution can be improved to obtain significant pitch-up moment increment in a wide angle of attack with no lift-loss and less lift-drag ratio decrement.展开更多

Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the validity of the designed controller to achieve the desired pitch angle for the floating turbine's body.展开更多
