Distributed Generation (DG) is a sustainable alternative energy paradigm that allows flexible customer-participated demand response management, however when coupled with battery storage in a carbon costed policy setting true reduction of greenhouse gas emissions may not necessarily be rewarded. This paper examines the role of policy settings using an established multi-agent simulation framework that...
Distributed Generation (DG) is a sustainable alternative energy paradigm that allows flexible customer-participated demand response management, high penetration of renewable sources and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. This paper proposes a multi-agent simulation framework that captures emerging complex responses that originate from individual household behaviors. These behaviors have been unattainable...
This brief investigates the interval iterative learning problem for dynamic systems with hierarchical neural network (HNN)-structural output. The first objective is to design the output of a dynamic system with HNN structure. A sufficient condition is obtained to achieve the interval tracking in a finite interval by applying iterative learning control (ILC). Then, the saturated ILC is considered into...
In this paper, a simplex type dynamic output feedback variable structure control (VSC) for the stabilization of a nonminimum phase open-loop unstable MBC500 magnetic bearing system is presented. An observer type sliding mode controller is designed for the unstable nonminimum phase system. The performance of the designed sliding mode controller is compared with those of a conventional controller, a...
A discontinuous control law is proposed to achieve global asymptotic stabilization for oscillators with bounded delayed input. Only the “position” signal is used to generate the piecewise constant control signal. The asymptotic stability is analyzed by Poincaré Map method and conditions are proposed. The effectiveness of this control law is verified by simulation studies.
This paper proposes a nonsingular terminal sliding mode control for a two-link flexible manipulator. The flexible robotic system is decomposed into an input-output subsystem and an internal subsystem. A novel inverse dynamics nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller is designed to make the input-output subsystem converge to its equilibrium point in finite time. In order to achieve good performance...
This paper presents a modified PSO algorithm for solving constrained multi-objective optimization problems. Based on the constraint dominance concept, the proposed approach defines two sets of selection rules for determining the cognitive and social components of the PSO algorithm. The simulation results to the four constrained multi-objective optimization problems demonstrate the proposed approach...
