Considering the external disturbances, this paper proposes a new control approach, with the intention of improving the trajectory flight control in the longitudinal-lateral trajectory plane with constant altitude, to design a nonlinear adaptive controller for an unmanned autonomous helicopter (UAH). The unknown external disturbances are considered within the system model and estimated through adaption...
DC-DC power converter is a most important power source for driving a DC system in contemporary power electronic systems. However, owing to the time-varying and nonlinear characteristics of load resistance, it is often very challenging issue to ensure the stability of such converters. This paper is concerned about the regulation of the output voltage of a DC-DC buck converter using a nonlinear robust...
A nonlinear adaptive controller for controlling the desired velocity of DC motors driven by DC-DC buck converters is proposed in this paper. The proposed controller is designed recursively based on the control Lyapunov function (CLF) to assure the desired control performance under varying the load torque of the DC motor as well as by considering the system parameters as unknown. These unknown parameters...
In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive controller for regulating the grid of a current source inverter (CSI) based three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed. The proposed control structure is composed with an outer control loop-responsible for controlling the DC-side inductor current and the inner current control loop-responsible for controlling injected current into the utility...
A nonlinear robust controller based on the direct power control (DPC) approach for a voltage source inverter (VSI) based three-phase grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed in this paper. The proposed robust controller is designed using the nonlinear backstepping theory based on the power dynamics rather than the usual current dynamics. One of the foremost advantages of this procedure...
We consider a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) multiple-access channel (MAC) multi-cellular communication scenario in which two base stations having a group of users each, are situated in two adjacent cells. In order to provide cooperative diversity at the base stations (BSs), multiple relays are used. Each group of users transmits information to its corresponding BS directly as well as via relays,...
A robust nonlinear adaptive controller design for unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) for controlling the hovering flight is presented. The controller is premeditated recursively based on the control Lyapunov theory where the mass of the UAV in the model is considered as anonymous parameter. To illustrate the forcefulness property of the designed controller, the effects of external disturbances are...
A new direct power control (DPC) approach for a voltage source inverter (VSI) based three-phase grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed in this paper. The proposed DPC is designed using the nonlinear backstepping control scheme based on the power dynamics rather than the conventional dp current dynamics. As a result, the inner current control loop is eradicated in this paper which...
In this paper, a dual hop diversity communication system which is highly confidential for wireless applications is proposed to transmit the secret information from the source to receiver in the presence of interferences. In this proposed wireless communication system, the receiver is equipped with multiple antennas whereas the relays and interference are equipped with single antenna. The output signal...
In this paper, a secured dual-hop confidential communication system is considered. In which, a source transmits secret information to the destination in the presence of an interferer and an eavesdropper. And, multiple relays provide cooperative diversity at the destination. The interferer, source and relays are equipped with single antenna whereas the destination and eavesdropper are equipped with...
Cardinality estimation is a major concern for proper network operation and maintenance. Cardinality estimation of a network can be performed using protocol based techniques. But, underwater environment makes these protocol based methods inefficient in underwater network. To solve this problem, underwater network cardinality has been estimated using cross-correlation of the received Gaussian signals...
