Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Sliding Mode Speed Control of an Induction MotorKais Jamoussi, Mohamed Ouali, Hassen CharradiField-oriented control was combined to robust sliding mode for motor speed control. A smooth continuous function was added in order to overcome chattering caused by Sliding Mode Controller (SMC). Simulation results showed that improvement made by our approach compared to classical PID control. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDamping of Generator Oscillations Using an Adaptive UPFC-based ControllerD. Nazarpour, S. H. Hosseini, G. B. GharehpetianIn this study a UPFC-based non-linear adaptive controller is proposed and designed to damp generator oscillations. The adaptive controller design is based on determination of control signal using a new linear quadratic pole placement control law and identification of power system parameters with recursive least squares method with adaptive directional forgetting factor. A new model of UPFC has been introduced … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 6,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,431 accessesView PDFCite
