In pneumatic pressure control applications the influence of tubes that connect the valve with the control volume ist mainly neglected. This can lead to stability and robustness issues and limit either control performance or tube length. Modeling and considering tube behavior in controller design procedure allows longer tubes while maintaining the required performance and robustness properties without need for manual tuning. The author\'s previously published Simplified Fluid Transmission Line Model and the proposed model-based controller design enable the specification of a desired pressure trajectory in the control volume while the pressure sensor is mounted directly at the valve. Thus wiring effort is reduced as well as cost and the chance of cable break or sensor disturbance. In order to validate the simulated results the proposed control scheme is implemented on a real-time system and compared to a state-of-the-art pressure regulating valve

Ce mémoire traite de la modélisation électrique des accumulateurs lithium-ion, de l’estimation de leur état de charge (SOC) et de leur état de santé (SOH). Le premier chapitre revient sur les généralités concernant la technologie lithium-ion : caractéristiques, performances, constitution de l’élément de stockage, choix et nature des électrodes, conséquences qui en découlent d’un point de vue énergétique. Le principe de fonctionnement et les équations générales des phénomènes électrochimiques sont aussi développés. Des exemples d’application dans différents secteurs industriels sont ensuite proposés pour plusieurs gammes de puissance et d’énergie. Le second volet aborde la modélisation électrique des accumulateurs lithium-ion. Pour une meilleure compréhension des phénomènes complexes mis en jeu au sein des batteries, des éléments de modélisation physique sont exposés. Puis nous envisageons une synthèse des différents modèles de nature électrique rencontrés dans la littérature. Sur la base de campagnes de mesures menées sur un élément lithium-ion de 6,8 Ah, nous proposons, dans un troisième chapitre, notre propre modèle électrique équivalent valable pour les phases de décharge et de relaxation. En particulier nous déclinons plusieurs solutions pour distribuer l’énergie et rendre compte des différents effets de ligne. Les outils de caractérisation et les procédures d’extractions des paramètres sont traités en détail. Dans un dernier chapitre nous étudions les possibilités d’estimer en ligne l’état de charge (SOC) et l’état de santé (SOH) d’un élément lithium-ion en cours d’exploitation. Après un bref rappel des méthodes académiques et industrielles actuelles, nous nous orientons vers l’emploi d’un filtre de Kalman. Afin d’estimer ses performances par rapport au coulombmètre, nous proposons un modèle et un algorithme que nous évaluons par simulation et testons sur élément réel / This dissertation of thesis deals with the electrical modelling of lithium-ion accumulators and the determination of both state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH). The first chapter is focused on generalities about lithium-ion technology: characteristics, qualities, constitution of the storage device, choice and nature of the electrodes and their consequences on energetical features. The principle and the general equations of the electrochemical phenomena are developed as well. Application examples from different industrial areas are displayed for several power and energy ranges. The second section is about the electrical modelling of lithium-ion accumulators. With a view to better understand the complex electrochemical phenomena, elements of physical modelling are proposed. Then, the synthesis of different electrical models released in the press is considered. On the basis of experimental campaigns lead on a 6.8 Ah lithium-element, we proposed, in a third chapter, our own equivalent electrical model suitable for both discharge phases and relaxation period. In particular, we depict several alternatives to distribute the energy and describe the different line effects. Both characterization tools and parameters extraction procedure are clearly detailed. In the last section, we tackle both SOC and SOH on-line determination. After a short review of academicals and industrial solutions, we rapidly head towards the use of a Kalman filter. In order to compare its features versus the coulombmeter, we propose a model and an algorithm, numerical simulations and experimental tests are performed

Nesta Dissertação propõe-se a aplicação de algoritmos genéticos para a síntese de filtros para modular sinais de controladores a estrutura variável e modo deslizante. A modulação do sinal de controle reduz a amplitude do sinal de saída e, consequentemente, pode reduzir o consumo de energia para realizar o controle e o chattering. Esses filtros também são aplicados em sistemas que possuem incertezas paramétricas nos quais nem todas as variáveis de estado são medidas. Nesses sistemas, as incertezas nos parâmetros podem impedir que seus estados sejam estimados com precisão por observadores. A síntese desses filtros necessita da obtenção da envoltória, que é o valor máximo da norma de cada resposta impulsiva admissível no sistema. Após este passo, é sintetizado um filtro que seja um majorante para a envoltória. Neste estudo, três métodos de busca da envoltória por algoritmos genéticos foram criados. Um dos métodos é o preferido, pois apresentou os melhores resultados e o menor tempo computacional. / This thesis proposes the application of genetic algorithms for the synthesis of filters which modulate signals of variable structure sliding mode controllers. The modulation of the control signal reduces the amplitude of the output signal and thus can reduce power consumption and chattering. These filters are also applied to systems with parametric uncertainties and unmeasured state variables. In these systems, the uncertainties can impair the accurate estimation of the state by means of observers. For the synthesis of these filters, it is necessary to obtain the envelope which is the maximum norm of each impulse response admissible for the system. After this step, a filter is synthesized to be an upper bound for the envelope. In this study, three methods of search of the envelope by genetic algorithms were developed. One of these methods has been giving the best results and needs the least computational time.

A fonte é formada por associações em série e em paralelo de módulos de menor po-tência para que, em conjunto, possam atender às exigências requeridas de tensão e de corrente dos magnetos. Cada módulo é constituído de dois estágios, um de entrada e outro de saída, em que o segundo é o objeto de estudo deste trabalho. O estágio de saída é constituído por um conversor ponte completa associado a um filtro de terceira ordem. Inicialmente é feita a modelagem do estágio de saída e apresentado um modelo apropriado a uma quantidade genérica de módulos associados em série. Em seguida é feita a discretização da planta e o controle em espaço de estados. Para a alocação dos pólos do sistema em malha fechada é utilizado o Regulador Quadrático Linear Digital. Entretanto, quando módulos são associados, aumenta-se consideravelmente a ordem do sistema e torna-se inviável a medição de todos os estados da planta. Então, é proposto um observador ótimo de ordem reduzida para que este seja capaz de fornecer ao con-trolador os estados que não são medidos. A análise de estabilidade permitiu verificar a robustez do controle em conjunto com o observador de estados. Na associação de módulos em paralelo foram consideradas que as correntes da saída de cada módulo são parcelas do estado que corresponde à corrente das cargas magnéticas. Baseado nesta premissa e no controle feito para o arranjo de módulos em série, foi proposta uma estratégia de controle para o arranjo em paralelo. Os resultados em simulação, tanto para a configuração de módulos em série quanto em paralelo, permitem verificar os desempenhos dinâmicos do controlador e observador de estados. / This dissertation presents a proposal of a discrete-time state-feedback control law applied to the Sirius magnetic source power supply. In order to meet the magnets' required voltage and current levels the source is formed by series and parallel associa-tion of modular converters. Each module is made up of two stages, input and output, in which the later is addressed this work. The output stage is constituted by a full bridge converter associated with a third-order filter. Initially a mathematical model is obtained for a single module. This model is later extended to represent the connection of several modules in series. Then the plant is discretized and state feedback law is designed to control the system. The optimal technique Digital Linear Quadratic Regu-lator was used to place the closed-loop poles. However, when modules are associated, due the order of the system it becomes impracticable to measure all the states. Then an optimal reduced order observer is proposed to provide to controller the states that are not measured. An stability analysis is performed in order to verify the controller robustness. For the association of modules in parallel was considered that the output currents of each module are the parcels of the state corresponding to the current of the magnetic loads. Based on this premise and in the previously control design for the series modules association, is proposed a control topology for the parallel arrange-ment. Simulation results were obtained, for the both configuration of modules series and parallel, and the performances of the controller and state-observer were verified.

Ce travail de recherche propose le développement et la validation d’une méthode de prédiction in-situ et temps réel de la durée de vie utile restante des engrenages de boîtes de vitesses automobiles de série. Cette méthode est destinée à être implantée dans des unités de commande électronique standards. En s’attachant tout particulièrement à proposer une solution simple, fiable, rentable et facilement transposable pour tout type de configuration, le système se base sur la combinaison d’une méthode d’acquisition des couples agissants sur la boîte de vitesses et d’une estimation continue des niveaux d’endommagement des engrenages. Un état de l’art et les fondamentaux théoriques d’une estimation de l’endommagement par une approche de contrainte nominale et une accumulation linéaire des endommagements partiels sont abordés dans un premier temps. La structure globale de l’algorithme de calcul de l’endommagement est ensuite étudiée et l’approche méthodologique adoptée pour sa mise au point expliquée. Cette dernière repose en grande partie sur un modèle complet de véhicule valide par des essais sur route et des mesures, où une attention toute particulière est portée à la représentation des changements de rapport et de la dynamique de la boîte de vitesses. Deux types de boite de vitesses sont alors considérées, une boite manuelle standard et une boite à double embrayage, et une spécification technique pour la configuration de l’algorithme ainsi qu’une analyse des besoins pour la méthode d’acquisition des couples sont formulées. En se basant sur ces études, un observateur d’état capable de reconstruire le couple agissant sur les disques d’embrayage ainsi que le couple en sortie de boite est développé et valide. Finalement, une synthèse de la méthode complète et de l’algorithme final est adressée, et les avantages économiques et écologiques liés à l’introduction de cette méthode pour des mesures de conception légère des boîtes de vitesses automobiles sont abordés et évalués. / This research work proposes the development and the validation of an online and real-time method to predict the remaining service life of the gearwheels of automotive transmissions, with the aim of implementing it on standard control units of series-production vehicles. By focusing on the proposition of a simple, reliable and easy-to-implement solution, the system relies on the combination of an acquisition method of the torques acting in the transmission and a continuous estimation of the damage levels of the gearwheels. Firstly, a state of the art and the theoretical basics are presented concerning a damage estimation based on a nominal stress concept and a linear damage accumulation. The global structure of the damage estimation algorithm is then analyzed and the methodological approach adopted for its development is explained. This is based in principal on a drivetrain model, validated with tests and measurements, where a particular attention is paid to the representation of the gear shifts and the transmission dynamics. Two types of transmissions are considered, namely a standard manual transmission and a dual clutch transmission mounted in series-production cars. Respectively a requirement analysis for the configuration of the algorithm as well as a requirement specification for the torque acquisition method are performed. On this basis, a state observer is developed and validated, which is able to reconstruct the clutch torque and the transmission output torque. Finally, a synthesis of the complete method and the final version of the algorithm are addressed, and the economic and ecological advantages of the introduction of the method in the context of lightweight design measures are discussed and evaluated. / Kurzfassung Diese Dissertation beschreibt die Entwicklung einer Online- und Echtzeit-Methode zur Vorhersage der restlichen Lebensdauer von den Zahnradern eines Kraftfahrzeuggetriebes. Diese Methode ist fur eine Implementierung auf Standard-Steuergeraten vorgesehen. Durch die Fokussierung auf eine einfache, zuverlassige und leicht zu implementierende Losung beruht die Methode auf der Kombination aus einer Drehmomenterfassungsmethode und einer kontinuierlichen Vorhersage des Schadigungsniveaus der Zahnrader. Zuerst werden der Stand der Technik und die theoretischen Grundlagen von Schadigungsberechnungen basierend auf dem Nennspannungskonzept und einer linearen Schadensakkumulation dargestellt. Danach wird die globale Struktur des Schadigungsberechnungsalgorithmus gezeigt und die fur die Entwicklung ausgewahlte methodische Vorgehensweise erlautert. Diese bezieht sich grundsatzlich auf ein durch Testfahrten und Messungen verifiziertes Antriebsstrangmodell, welches besonders die Schaltungen und die Dynamik des Getriebes berucksichtigt. Ein Serien-Handschaltgetriebe und ein Serien-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe werden betrachtet. Fur diese zwei Getriebetypen werden eine Anforderungsanalyse zur Konfiguration des Algorithmus sowie eine Anforderungsspezifikation fur die Drehmomenterfassungsmethode durchgefuhrt. Auf Basis dieser Untersuchungen wird dann ein Zustandsbeobachter zur Rekonstruktion des Kupplungs- und Getriebeausgangsdrehmoments entwickelt und validiert. Infolgedessen werden eine Synthese der kompletten Methode und die Endversion des Algorithmus vorgestellt. Abschliesend werden die Wirtschaftlichkeit sowie die okologischen Vorteile in Bezug auf die Einfuhrung der Lebensdauermonitoringmethode im Rahmen von Leichtbaumasnahmen diskutiert und bewertet.

Dans cette thèse, nous étudions le problème de l'identification d'un système à dynamique linéaire. Dans un premier temps, nous répertorions les différentes méthodes qui ont été développées dans la littérature en nous concentrant plus particulièrement sur les méthodes des observateurs adaptatifs. Dans un second temps nous présentons un premier algorithme qui est une approche mixant les méthodes des sous-espaces et celles des observateurs adaptatifs. Ce nouvel algorithme est d'autant plus intéressant qu'il nous permet d'identifier des réalisations de systèmes MIMO dans une base d'état arbitraire. La convergence de cet algorithme est démontrée en utilisant les notions d'excitation persistantes. Dans un troisième chapitre nous introduisons une nouvelle méthode qui s'appuie sur le concept des observateurs de Luenberger non linéaires développés ces dernières années. Ce nouvel algorithme se différencie des algorithmes existants par sa capacité à produire une estimation simultanée des paramètres et de l'état du système. Nous démontrons alors sa robustesse à des perturbations affectant la dynamique interne ou les mesures. La convergence de cet algorithme est obtenue si les entrées du système satisfont une hypothèse d'excitation différentielle. Tous ces algorithmes sont alors évalués et implémentés sur un banc d'expérimentation / In this thesis, we study the problem of identification of a linear dynamical system. First, we survey various methods that have been developed in the literature. We focus more particularly on methods named adaptive observers. Secondly we present an approach which combines subspace identification methods and adaptive observers. This new method is interesting since it allows us to identify MIMO systems in an arbitrary basis. The convergence of this algorithm is demonstrated using the persistent excitation notions. In the third chapter we introduce a new method that is inspired from nonlinear Luenberger observers developed in recent years. This new algorithm is different from the existing algorithms since the parameters and the systemstatus are estimated simultaneously. We demonstrate the robustness of this approach. The convergence of the algorithm is obtained if the system inputs satisfy a differential excitation hypothesis. All these algorithms are evaluated and implemented on an experimental bench

The exponential development of biotechnology has lead to a quasi unlimited number of potential products going from biopolymers to vaccines. Cell culture has therefore evolved from the simple cell growth outside its natural environment to its use to produce molecules that they do not naturally produce. This rapid development could not be continued without new control and supervising tools as well as a good process understanding. This requirement involves however a large diversity and a better accessibility of process measurements. In this framework, software sensors show numerous potentialities. The objective of a software sensor is indeed to provide an estimation of the system state variables and particularly those which are not obtained through in situ hardware sensors or laborious and expensive analysis. In this context, This work attempts to join the knowledge of increasing bioprocess complexity and diversity and the time scale of process developments and favours systematic modelling methodology, its flexibility and the speed of development. In the field of state observation, an important modelling constraint is the one induced by the selection of the state to estimate and the available measurements. Another important constraint is the model quality. The central axe of this work is to provide solutions in order to reduce the weight of these constraints to software sensors development. On this purpose, we propose four solutions to four main questions that may arise. The first two ones concern modelling uncertainties.<p><p>1."How to develop a software sensor using measurements easily available on pilot scale bioreactor?" The proposed solution is a static software sensor using an artificial neural network. Following this modelling methodology we developed static software sensors for the biomass and ethanol concentrations in a pilot scale S. cerevisae cell culture using the measurement of titrating base quantity, agitation rate and CO& / Doctorat en sciences agronomiques et ingénierie biologique / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Les stratégies de commande avancée des machines électriques nécessitent une connaissance précise de la position et/ou de la vitesse du rotor. Ces grandeurs mécaniques sont traditionnellement mesurées par des capteurs, ce qui augmente le coût et diminue la fiabilité et la robustesse du système. D’où l’importance de la commande sans capteurs mécaniques, dite commande sensorless : elle consiste à remplacer les capteurs physiques par un observateur d’état, qui estime les grandeurs mécaniques en se basant sur un modèle de la machine et à partir de ses entrées (tensions) et ses sorties (courants mesurés). Toutefois, avant d’entamer la synthèse d’un observateur, il faut examiner l’observabilité du système, c.à.d. vérifier si les grandeurs à estimer peuvent être reconstruites à partir des mesures et des entrées du système.Ce travail de thèse concerne la modélisation et l’étude d’observabilité des machines électriques en vue de la commande sensorless. Dans un premier temps, les modèles des machines électriques sont établis, et il est montré qu’une modélisation unifiée des machines à courant alternatif est possible. Ensuite, en se basant sur ces modèles, l’observabilité des machines électriques est étudiée en vue de la commande sensorless. La théorie d’observabilité instantanée locale est appliquée, ce qui permet de formuler des conditions analytiques, faciles à interpréter et à vérifier en temps-réel, et qui font le lien avec les phénomènes physiques dans les machines. La validité des conditions d’observabilité est confirmée par des simulations et sur des données expérimentales, en appliquant un observateur de type Kalman étendu.Cette thèse contribue à une nouvelle vision des machines à courant alternatif commandées sans capteurs mécaniques, et à une compréhension plus profonde de leurs propriétés. Elle contribue ainsi à la synthèse de stratégies d’observation plus performantes dans les régimes de fonctionnement critiques (à vitesse nulle et/ou à fréquence d’entrée nulle).Les nouveaux concepts proposés dans cette thèse, tels que le flux équivalent et le vecteur d’observabilité, avec les résultats obtenus, ouvrent de nouveaux horizons dans un domaine qui paraît devenir assez mature. / High-performance control of electric drives requires an accurate knowledge of the rotor position and/or speed. These mechanical variables are traditionally measured using sensors, which increases the cost and reduces both the robustness and the reliability of the system. This emphasizes the importance of electric drives control without shaft sensors, often referred to as sensorless control : it consists of replacing sensors with a state observer algorithm, that estimates the desired mechanical variables from currents and voltages sensing and based on the system’s model. Nevertheless, before designing a state observer, the observability ofthe system should be examined, that is, it should be checked whether the states to be estimated can be reconstructed, unambiguously, from the input/output signalsof the system.This work addresses the modeling and the observability analysis of electric drives in the view of mechanical sensors removal. Firstly, electrical machines models areelaborated, and it is shown that a unified modeling of alternating current machines is feasible, for the purpose of designing unified control and estimation strategies.The observability of the machines’ models is next studied in the view of sensorless control. The local instantaneous observability theory is applied, which enables us to formulate physically insightful analytic conditions that can be easily interpreted and tested in real time. The validity of the observability conditions is confirmed by numerical simulations and experimental data, using an extended Kalman observer.This work contributes to novel outlooks on the sensorless alternating current drives and to a deeper understanding of its properties, in order to develop higher performance estimation techniques in the critical operating conditions (mainly at standstill and/or zero-stator-frequency).The concepts introduced throughout this thesis, such as the equivalent flux and the observability vector, with the obtained results, open new horizons in a domainthat seems to become mature enough.
