Unified power flow controller in grid-connected hybrid renewable energy system for power flow control using an elitist control strategy Trans. Inst. Meas. Control (IF 1.649) Pub Date : 2020-10-25 Raghu Thumu; Kadapa Harinadha Reddy; Chilakala Rami Reddy
Due to the intermittent nature of renewable sources, miss-matching between power generation and load power causes a deviation from the desired voltage and frequency in power supply. To solve this problem, a new control technique has been proposed for the power flow control with the unified power flow controller (UPFC) in grid-connected hybrid renewable energy systems such as photovoltaic-wind. The

Finite-time observer-based control for Markovian jump systems with time-varying generally uncertain transition rates Trans. Inst. Meas. Control (IF 1.649) Pub Date : 2020-10-25 Mengjun Li; Xiaohang Li; Dunke Lu
This paper addresses the finite-time observer-based control for Markovian jump systems with time-varying generally uncertain transition rates. In order to estimate the states, a suitable observer is designed, in which both external disturbance and Brownian motion exist. In order to solve the complex time-varying transition rates, a quantization mechanism is raised to prove the closed-loop system and

On the design of extended state observer-based robust finite controller: For underactuated robotic system with multiple sources of uncertainties Trans. Inst. Meas. Control (IF 1.649) Pub Date : 2020-10-25 Hui Li; Ruiqin Li; Jianwei Zhang
Controlling an underactuated robot is always an important research and engineering issue, especially when the robot is suffering from multiple sources of uncertainties, such as unmodeled dynamics, external disturbance, and parameter uncertainties. To cope with these uncertainties in such uncertain nonlinear systems which is not fully-actuated, this paper proposes a control method that can actively
