Time-varying parameters estimation with adaptive neural network EKF for missile-dual control system

In this paper, a filtering method is presented to estimate time-varying parameters of a missile dual control system with tail fins and reaction jets as control variables. In this method, the long-short-term memory(LSTM) neural network is nested into the extended Kalman filter(EKF) to modify the Kalman gain such that the filtering performance is improved in the presence of large model uncertainties. To avoid the unstable network output caused by the abrupt changes of system states,an adaptive correction factor is introduced to correct the network output online. In the process of training the network, a multi-gradient descent learning mode is proposed to better fit the internal state of the system, and a rolling training is used to implement an online prediction logic. Based on the Lyapunov second method, we discuss the stability of the system, the result shows that when the training error of neural network is sufficiently small, the system is asymptotically stable. With its application to the estimation of time-varying parameters of a missile dual control system, the LSTM-EKF shows better filtering performance than the EKF and adaptive EKF(AEKF) when there exist large uncertainties in the system model.

Dual Control of Depositional Facies on Uranium Mineralization in Coal-bearing Series： Examples from the Tuanyushan Area of the Northern Qaidam Basin, NW China

The uranium deposits in the Tuanyushan area of northern Qaidam Basin commonly occur in coal-bearing series. To decipher the U-enrichment mechanism and controlling factors in this area, a database of 72 drill cores, including 56 well-logs and 3 sampling wells, was examined for sedimentology and geochemistry in relation to uranium concentrations. The results show that coal-bearing series can influence uranium mineralization from two aspects, i.e., spatial distribution and dynamic control. Five types of uranium-bearing rocks are recognized, mainly occurring in the braided river and braided delta sedimentary facies, among which sandstones near the coals are the most important. The lithological associations of sandstone-type uranium deposits can be classified into three subtypes, termed as U-coal type, coal-U-coal type, and coal-U type, respectively. The coal and fine siliciclastic rocks in the coal- bearing series confined the U-rich fluid flow and uranium accumulation in the sandstone near them. Thus, the coal-bearing series can provide good accommodations for uranium mineralization. Coals and organic matters in the coal-bearing series may have served as reducing agents and absorbing barriers. Methane is deemed to be the main acidolysis hydrocarbon in the U-bearing beds, which shows a positive correlation with U-content in the sandstones in the coal-bearing series. Additionally, the 613C in the carbonate cements of the U-bearing sandstones indicates that the organic matters, associated with the coal around the sandstones, were involved in the carbonation, one important component of alteration in the Tuanyushan area. Recognition of the dual control of coal-bearing series on the uranium mineralization is significant for the development of coal circular economy, environmental protection during coal utilization and the security of national rare metal resources.

Unified Smith Predictor Based H_∞ Wide-Area Damping Controller to Improve the Control Resiliency to Communication Failure

Inter-area low frequency oscillation in power system is one of the major problems for bulk power transmission through weak tie lines.Use of wide-area signal is more effective than the local area signal in damping out the inter-area oscillations.Wide area measurement system(WAMS)is convenient to transmit the wide area signal through the communication channel to the remote location.Communication failure is one of the disastrous phenomena in a communication channel.In this paper,a dual input single output(DISO)Hm controller is designed to build the control resiliency by employing two highest observability ranking wide area signals with respect to the critical damping inter-area mode.The proposed controller can provide sufficient damping to the system and also the system remains stabilized if one of the wide-area signals is lost.The time delay is an unwanted phenomenon that degrades the performance of the controllers.The unified Smith predictor approach is used to design a Hm controller to handle the time delay.Kundur's two-area and IEEE-39 bus test systems are considered to verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller.From the simulation results,it is verified that,the proposed controller provides excellent damping performance at normal communication and improves the controller resiliency to counteract the communication failure.

Research on DCC Strategy for Grid-Connected Inverter of D-PMSG under Unbalanced Network Voltage Conditions

According to performance analysis of a three-phase grid-connected inverter mathematical model of a directly-driven wind turbine with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) under unbalanced network voltage conditions, a dual current-loop control strategy (DCC) oriented on positive voltage and negative current is proposed to inhibit the DC voltage fluctuation. Meanwhile, a notch filter is introduced into the conventional control strategy of a phase-locked loop to complete the low voltage ride through (LVRT) ability of the wind generator. A 1.5-MW D-PMSG with a back-to-back IGBT frequency converter was simulated in the PSCAD/EMTDC environment, and simulation results showed that: the maximum wind power tracking was achieved in this system and the proposed DCC strategy could successfully inhibit the rising aging of DC voltage and enhance the ride-through capability of D-PMSG wind generation system under unbalanced network voltage conditions.

Vector Control of the Single-Phase Inverter Based on the Extended and Virtual Circuits

A vector control based on the extended equivalent circuit and virtual circuits is proposed for the single-phase inverter.By the extended circuit,the other two phase voltages can be extended by the output voltage of the single-phase inverter so as to construct the voltage vector.The voltage outer-loop is to control the voltage vector in dq coordinate system,and the output voltage can track the target value without deviation in steady state.By designing the virtual circuit,the voltage inner-loop can achieve approximate decoupling and improve the dynamic response under the changeable load.Compared with the traditional dual closed-loop control,the proposed dual closed-loop control scheme only needs to detect and control the voltage without the current.It not only can achieve good control effect,but also reduce the complexity of the hardware.Finally,the simulation and experimental results show that the single-phase inverter has good static and dynamic characteristics regardless of stable load or changeable load.

On distributed power control in full duplex wireless networks

In this paper, we first consider the problem of distributed power control in a Full Duplex （FD） wireless network consisting of multiple pairs of nodes, within which each node needs to communicate with its corresponding node. We aim to find the optimal transmition power for the FD transmitters such that the network-wide capacity is maximized. Based on the high Signal-to-Interference-Plus-Noise Ratio （SINR） approximation and a more general approximation method for logarithm functions, we develop effective distributed power control algorithms with the dual decomposition approach. We also extend the work to the general FD network scenario, which can be decomposed into subproblems of isolated nodes, paths, and cycles. The corresponding power control problem is then be solved with the distributed algorithm. The proposed algorithms are validated with simulation studies.

Control of the fed-batch ethanol fermentation processes to produce maximum product ethanol is one of the key issues in the bioreactor system.However,ethanol fermentation processes exhibit complex behavior and nonlinear dynamics with respect to the cell mass,substrate,feed-rate,etc.An improved dual heuristic programming algorithm based on the least squares temporal difference with gradient correction(LSTDC) algorithm(LSTDC-DHP) is proposed to solve the learning control problem of a fed-batch ethanol fermentation process.As a new algorithm of adaptive critic designs,LSTDC-DHP is used to realize online learning control of chemical dynamical plants,where LSTDC is commonly employed to approximate the value functions.Application of the LSTDC-DHP algorithm to ethanol fermentation process can realize efficient online learning control in continuous spaces.Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of LSTDC-DHP,and show that LSTDC-DHP can obtain the near-optimal feed rate trajectory faster than other-based algorithms.

In this paper,a dual droop-frequency diving coordinated control strategy is proposed for electric vehicle(EV)applications,where the hybrid energy storage system(HESS)with supercapacitors and batteries is integrated to prolong the life time of storage elements.The dynamic power allocation between the supercapacitor and batteries are obtained through the voltage cascaded control,upon which the high and low frequency power fluctuation are absorbed by the supercapacitors and batteries respectively to fully exploit the advantages of the supercapacitors and batteries.Moreover,the power capacity is scaled up by connecting storage blocks in parallel.A dual droop control scheme for parallel-connected energy storage system and its operation principle is introduced on the aspect of current sharing characteristic and state-of-charging(SOC)management.After detailed analysis and formula derivation,the corresponding loop parameters are designed.Through this control method,the current sharing performance is ensured and each block makes the self-adaptive adjustment according to their SOC.Consequently,the load power can be shared effectively,which helps to avoid the over-charge/over-discharge operation and contributes to the life cycle of the energy storage system.Each module is autonomous controlled without the necessity of communication,which is easy,economic and effective to realize.Finally,the simulation and experimental results are exhibited to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Energy modeling and optimization of building condenser water systems with all-variable speed pumps and tower fans:A case study

The emergence of building condenser water systems with all-variable speed pumps and tower fans allows for increased efficiency and flexibility of chiller plants in partial load operation but also increases the control complexity of condenser water systems.This study aims to develop an integrated modeling technique for evaluating and optimizing the energy performance of such a condenser water system.The proposed system model is based on the semi-physical semi-empirical chiller,pump,and cooling tower models,with capabilities of fully considering the hydraulic and thermal interactions in the condenser water loop,being solved analytically and much faster than iterative solvers and supporting the explicit optimization of the pump and tower fan frequency.A mathematical approach,based on the system model and constrained optimization technique,is subsequently established to evaluate the energy performance of a typical dual setpoint-based variable speed strategy and find its energy-saving potential and most efficient operation by jointly optimizing pumps and tower fans.An all-variable speed chiller plant from Wuhan,China,is used for a case study to validate the system model’s accuracy and explore its applicability.The results showed that the system model can accurately simulate the condenser water system’s performance under various operating conditions.By optimizing the frequencies of pumps and tower fans,the total system energy consumption can be reduced by 12%–13%compared to the fixed dual setpoint-based strategy with range and approach setpoints of 4℃and 2℃.In contrast,the energy-saving potential of optimizing the cooling tower sequencing is insignificant.A simple joint speed control method for optimizing the pumps and tower fans emerged,i.e.,the optimal pump and fan frequency are linearly correlated(if both are non-extremes)and depend on the chiller part load ratio only,irrespective of the ambient wet-bulb temperature and chilled water supply temperature.It was also found that the oversizing issue has further limited the energy-saving space of the studied system and results in the range and approach setpoints being inaccessible.The study’s findings can serve as references to the operation optimization of all-variable speed condenser water systems in the future.

Autonomous Dual Active Power-frequency Control in Power System with Small-scale Photovoltaic Power Generation

Active power control of the photovoltaic(PV)power generation system is a promising solution to regulate frequency fluctuation in a power system with high penetration of renewable energy.This paper proposes an autonomous active power control of a small-scale PV system for supporting the inertial response of synchronous generators and power-frequency control.In the proposed control approach,an effective grid frequency regulation scheme is realized using slow-and fast-frequency responses.A low-pass filter based frequency measurement is used for slow-frequency response,while direct frequency measurement is used for fast-frequency response.The designed dual droop characteristic-based control is shaped to achieve a smooth transition between slow-and fast-frequency responses.The performance of the proposed control approach is demonstrated for serious disturbance scenarios,i.e.,considerable power-load imbalance and generation trip.In the powerload imbalance test scenario,the proposed control approach works properly within the normal frequency deviation region even when the frequency deviation exceeds that region occasionally.In the generation trip test,the frequency deviation is mitigated quickly,and the employed droop control is smoothly transferred from the slow-to fast-frequency responses.

A Photovoltaic Generation System Based on Wide Voltage-Gain DC-DC Converter and Differential Power Processors for DC Microgrids

In this paper,a photovoltaic(PV)generation system based on front-stage differential power processors(DPP)and BACK-stage centralized wide voltage-gain converter is proposed.The resonant switched capacitor(ReSC)converter,which features high power density and high efficiency,is employed as the differential power processor and aims at processing the differential power among series-connected PV modules,avoiding the great power loss caused by power mismatch of PV modules.The ReSC converter in PV system can operate in equalization mode or MPPT mode and both modes are researched.The BACK-stage DC-DC converter is implemented as the dual-phase-shift controlled full-bridge converter(DPS-FBC).It has high conversion efficiency and wide voltage gain,suitable for PV generation applications.The current source control for grid-connected mode and the voltage source control for islanding mode are developed for DPS-FBC.Therefore,for the whole system with front and BACK stage converters,the dual-mode control strategy is proposed.When the system is connected to the grid,DPS-FBC operates as the current source for global MPPT for PV modules while ReSC converters operate in maximum power point tracking(MPPT)mode for local MPPT.When the system operates in an island,DPS-FBC works as the voltage source for constant output voltage control and ReSC converters work in equalization mode.The mode switch is based on the voltage of output DC bus.Simulations and experiments verify the feasibility of the proposed PV generation system and the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
