2	An adaptive add-on control system for a unified power flow controller Malhotra, Urvi 30 May 2011 (has links) <p>The growing energy demand has caused the interconnected power systems to operate close to their stability limit. As a consequence, poorly damped low-frequency oscillations are becoming a common phenomenon. Such oscillations weaken the system security and if not effectively damped can lead to widespread blackouts. A contemporary solution is the addition of Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) to generators. A relatively recent solution based on the advancements in high-power semiconductors is the Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) technology meant for transmission locations. FACTS technology comprises of a multitude of FACTS devices among which the <i>Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC)</i> possesses a unique capability of providing both power flow and voltage control. Particularly, with a suitable transient control system the UPFC can satisfactorily mitigate power system oscillations.</p> <p>This thesis proposes an adaptive control scheme that supplements an existing Proportional-Integral (PI) UPFC control system in damping power system oscillations. PI control is a well-established theory and a commonly used industrial controller. However, its application in a power system that experiences continuously changing system conditions demands its frequent re-tuning. On the other hand, the proposed scheme is a Self Tuning (ST) controller that automatically adapts to the system changes and thereby provides an optimal control for a wide range of operating scenarios. The proposition of assisting the primary PI control action is unique in its approach since it retains the functionality of the existing PI controllers and also enhances the overall damping performance through an add-on ST control loop.</p> <p>The proposed novel ST scheme consists of a Constrained Recursive Least Squares (CRLS) identifier that tracks system parameters recursively and a self-tuning Pole Shift (PS) controller that works on the identified system model to generate a robust control output. Also, to effectively smoothen out the rapid variations of identified system parameters and consequent ringing of control output during large disturbances, the thesis specifies the replacement of the standard-RLS identifier with a "constrained" RLS (CRLS) identifier. The damping enhancement achieved by the proposed controller has been verified through time-domain simulations. The test results clearly depict that the proposed add-on scheme not only enhances the overall damping but is also robust with respect to power flow level, fault type and location. Its inherent flexibility and the positive test results suggest that with little modification, it can be easily applied to other FACTS devices currently incorporated in transmission networks.</p> adaptive control Proportional Integral controller system identification Flexible AC Transmission Systems
3	An Adaptive Fuzzy Proportional-Integral Predictor for Power Management of 3D Graphics System-On-Chip Yeh, Jia-huei 02 August 2010 (has links) As time goes by rapid development of 3D graphics technique and 3C portable product output, 3D graphics have been widely applied to handheld devices, such as notebooks, PDAs, and smart cellular phones. Generally, to process 3D graphics applications in mobile devices, processor needs strong capability of handling large computational-intensive workloads. Complex computation consumes a great quantity of electric power. But the lifetime of handheld device battery is limited. Therefore, the cost, to satisfy this demand, will be shortening the supply time of device battery. Moreover, Moore¡¦ law said that the number of transistors in a chip is double in every eighteen months. But these days the advance in manufacturing batteries still cannot get up with the advance in developing processors. In addition, the improvement of chip size has led to more small, supply voltage of kernel processor in portable device. Considering system efficiency and battery lifetime simultaneously increase the difficulty of designing power management scheme. So, how to manage power effectively has become one of the important key for designing handheld products. For 3D graphics system, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is one of good solutions to implement power management policy. DVFS needs an efficient online prediction method to predict the workload of frames and then appropriately adjust voltage and frequency for saving energy consumption. Consequently, a lot of related papers have proposed different prediction policy to predict the executing workload of 3D graphics system. For instance, the existing prediction policies include signature-based[1], history-based[3] and proportion-integral-derivative (PID)[14] methods, but most of designers put power management in software, i.e. processors. This solution not only slows power management to get the information about executing time of graphic processing unit (GPU), but also increases the operating overhead of CPU in handheld system. In this paper, we propose a power management workload prediction scheme with a framework of using proportion-integral (PI) controller to be a master controller and fuzzy controller to be a slave controller, and then implement it into hardware circuit. Taking advantage of fuzzy conception in fuzzy controller is to adjust the proportional parameter in PI controller, the shortage of traditional PI controller that demands on complicated try-and-error method to look for a good proportional and integral parameters can be avoided so that the adaption and forecasting accuracy can be improved. Besides, Uniform Window-size Predictor 1 (UW1) is also implemented as an assistant manner. Using UW1 predictor appropriately can improve the prediction trend to catch up with the trend of real workload. Experimental results show that our predictor improves prediction accuracy about 3.8% on average and saves about 0.02% more energy compared with PI predictor[18]. Circuit area and power consumption only increases 6.8% percent and 1.4% compared with PI predictor. Besides, we also apply our predictor to the 3D first person game, Quake II, in the market. The result shows that our predictor is indeed an effective prediction policy. The adaption can put up with the intense workload variation of real game and adjust voltage and frequency precisely to decrease power consumption and meet the purpose of energy saving.

7	Development of Sensors and Microcontrollers for Underwater Robots Jebelli, Ali January 2014 (has links) Nowadays, small autonomous underwater robots are strongly preferred for remote exploration of unknown and unstructured environments. Such robots allow the exploration and monitoring of underwater environments where a long term underwater presence is required to cover a large area. Furthermore, reducing the robot size, embedding electrical board inside and reducing cost are some of the challenges designers of autonomous underwater robots are facing. As a key device for reliable operation-decision process of autonomous underwater robots, a relatively fast and cost effective controller based on Fuzzy logic and proportional-integral-derivative method is proposed in this thesis. It efficiently models nonlinear system behaviors largely present in robot operation and for which mathematical models are difficult to obtain. To evaluate its response, the fault finding test approach was applied and the response of each task of the robot depicted under different operating conditions. The robot performance while combining all control programs and including sensors was also investigated while the number of program codes and inputs were increased.
