Dynamic controllability analysis for linear multivariable processes based on passivity conditionsSuryodipuro, Andika Diwaji, School of Chemical Engineering & Industrial Chemistry, UNSW January 2005 (has links)
The operation of a chemical process plant has become more complex with the addition of process integration and intensification. A greater emphasis on producing goods with the lowest product variability in the safest manner possible and stringent environmental regulation limiting the quantity of effluent release have all put more constraints on the physical and economic performance of the chemical plant. The performance of a plant is quantified by the ability of the process system to achieve its objectives, which is governed by its process design and control. The conventional approach to process design and control selection starts sequentially by proposing a process flowsheet for the plant. The selection criteria for a flowsheet are normally based only on its environmental impact and economic merits. It is after a process flowsheet is deemed financially suitable that process control development commences. However, a more integrated approach to process design and control stage may thus lead to a plant that has better achievable performance. The aim of this project is to provide a new approach to quantitative dynamic controllability analysis for integration of process design and control by using the concept of passivity and passive systems. Passivity is an input/output property of processes. Passive processes are stable and minimum phase and therefore very easy to control. For a given process, its shortage of passivity, which reflects destabilizing effects of factors such as time delays and Right-Half Plane (RHP) zeros, can be used to indicate its controllability. The project focuses in developing the proposed controllability analysis by combining the idea of passivity and IMC invertibility, which is then formulated into an optimization problem that can be solved by either using Semi-Definite Programming or Non-Linear Optimization. The achievable performance of the plant is quantified in terms of the sensitivity function of the open-loop process. The selection of a process from four different heat-integrated distillation column schemes was used as a case study and the result had clearly shown that the passivity-based controllability analysis was able to select a process based on the plant achievable performance under the constraint of passivity and design parameters.

Scalable Distributed Networked Haptic CooperationRakhsha, Ramtin 24 April 2015 (has links)
In cooperative networked haptic systems, some distributed distant users may decide to leave or join the cooperation while other users continue to manipulate the shared virtual object (SVO). Cooperative haptic systems that support interaction among a variable number of users, called scalable haptic cooperation systems herein, are the focus of this research. In this thesis, we develop distributed control strategies that provide stable and realistic force feedback to a varying number of users manipulating a SVO when connected across a computer network with imperfections (such as limited packet update rate, delay, jitter, and packet-loss). We fi rst propose the average position (AP) scheme to upper bound the effective stiff ness of the SVO coordination and thus, to enhance the stability of the distributed multi-user haptic cooperation. For constant and small communication delays and over power-domain communications, the effectiveness of the proposed AP paradigm is compared with the traditional proportional-derivative (PD) scheme via multi-rate stability and performance analyses supported with experimental verif cations.
Next, in a passivity-based approach, the scalability is pursued by implementing the AP scheme over wave-domain communication channels along with passive simulation of the dynamics. By constructing a passive distributed SVO in closed-loop with passive human users and haptic devices, we guarantee the stability of the distributed haptic cooperation system. However, energy leak at joining/leaving instances may compromise the passivity of the SVO. We examine the preservation of passivity of the proposed SVO scheme for such situations. A switching algorithm is then introduced in order to improve the performance of the cooperative haptic system. Experiments in which three users take turn in leaving or joining the cooperation over a network with varying delay and packet-loss will support the theoretical results. / Graduate / 0771 / 0548 / 0537 / 0544 / rrakhsha@uvic.ca

Passivity-Based Control of Small Unmanned Aerial SystemsFahmi, Jean-Michel Walid 30 January 2023 (has links)
Energy-shaping techniques are used to expand the range of autonomous motion of unmanned aerial systems without prohibitively {color{black}increasing the computational cost of the resultant controller}. Passivity-based control presents a method to implement a static, nonlinear state feedback control law that stabilizes the motion of an aircraft with a large region of attraction. {color{black} The energy-based control scheme is applied to both multirotor and fixed-wing aircraft}. Multirotor aircraft dynamics are cast into a port-Hamiltonian System and the concept of trajectory tracking using canonical feedback transformation is implemented to construct a cross-track controller. Fixed-wing aircraft dynamics are cast in port-Hamiltonian form and a passivity-based nonlinear control law for steady, wings-level flight of a fixed-wing aircraft to a specified inertial velocity (speed, course, and climb angle) is constructed. Results in simulations and experiments suggest robustness, and a large region of attraction of the controller. The control law extended to support time-varying inertial velocity tracking that incorporates banking to turn. The results are extended by including a line-of-sight guidance law and varying the direction as a function of position relative to a desired path, rather than as a function of time. The control law and the associated proof of stability follow similarly to that of the time-varying directional stabilization problem. The results are supported with simulations as well as experimental flight tests. / Doctor of Philosophy / This dissertation presents an alternative but intuitive approach to regulate unmanned aerial vehicles' flight that would allow for more maneuverability {color{black} than conventional methods}. This scheme relies on modifying the energy of the system to achieve the desired motion and leverages the properties of the aircraft rather than eliminating them and imposing different properties. This approach is applied to both fixed-wing and aircraft and quadcopters. Simulations and experimental flights have show the efficacy of this approach compared to other more established methods.

Design of Optimal Strictly Positive Real Controllers Using Numerical Optimization for the Control of Large Flexible Space StructuresForbes, James Richard 30 July 2008 (has links)
The design of optimal strictly positive real (SPR) compensators using numerical optimization
is considered. The plants to be controlled are linear and nonlinear flexible manipulators.
For the design of SISO and MIMO linear SPR controllers, the optimization
objective function is defined by reformulating the H2-optimal control problem subject
to the constraint that the controllers must be SPR. Various controller parameterizations
using transfer functions/matrices and state-space equations are considered. Depending
on the controller form, constraints are enforced (i) using simple inequalities guaranteeing
SPRness, (ii) in the frequency domain, or (iii) by implementing the Kalman-Yakubovich-
Popov lemma. The design of a gain-scheduled SPR controller using numerical optimization
is also considered. Using a family of linear SPR controllers, the time dependent
scheduling signals are parameterized, and the objective function of the optimizer seeks
to find the form of the scheduling signals which minimizes the manipulator tip tracking
error while minimizing the control effort.

Extensions of Input-output Stability Theory and the Control of Aerospace SystemsForbes, James Richard 06 January 2012 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with input-output stability theory. Within this framework, it is of interest how inputs map to outputs through an operator that represents a system to be controlled or the controller itself. The Small Gain, Passivity, and Conic Sector Stability Theorems can be used to assess the stability of a negative feedback interconnection involving two systems that each have specific input-output properties.
Our first contribution concerns characterization of the input-output properties of linear time-varying (LTV) systems. We present various theorems that ensure that a LTV system has finite gain, is passive, or is conic. We also consider the stability of various negative feedback interconnections.
Motivated by the robust nature of passivity-based control, we consider how to overcome passivity violations. This investigation leads to the hybrid conic systems framework whereby systems are described in terms of multiple conic bounds over different operating ranges. A special case relevant to systems that experience a passivity violation is the hybrid passive/finite gain framework. Sufficient conditions are derived that ensure the negative feedback interconnection of two hybrid conic systems is stable.
The input-output properties of gain-scheduled systems are also investigated. We show that a gain-scheduled system composed of conic subsystems has conic bounds as well. Using the conic bounds of the subsystems along with the scheduling signal properties, the overall conic bounds of the gain-scheduled system can be calculated. We also show that when hybrid very strictly passive/finite gain (VSP/finite gain) subsystems are gain-scheduled, the overall map is also hybrid VSP/finite gain.
Being concerned with the control of aerospace systems, we use the theory developed in this thesis to control two interesting plants. We consider passivity-based control of a spacecraft endowed with magnetic torque rods and reaction wheels. In particular, we synthesize a LTV input strictly passive controller. Using hybrid theory we control single- and two-link flexible manipulators. We present two controller synthesis schemes, each of which employs numerical optimization techniques and attempts to have the hybrid VSP/finite gain controllers mimic a H2 controller. One of our synthesis methods uses the Generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma, thus realizing a convex optimization problem.
