An MR(Magneto-Rheological) fluid damper is designed and applied to the semi-active suspension system of a 1/4 car model. The damping constant of the MR damper changes according to input current and the time delay of the damper is included in the system dynamics. The passive method, LQ control and Frequency shaped LQ control are compared in experiments. The advantage of the proposed frequency shaped LQ control is that the ride comfort improves in frequency range from 4 to 8Hz where human body is most sensitive and the driving safety improves around the resonance frequency of unsprung mass, 11Hz. The experiments using a 1/4 car model show the effectiveness of the algorithm.

현가장치의 기능은 노면으로부터의 진동이나 충격을 차체와 격리시키며 주행시 차량의 안전성을 확보하는데 있다. 고정된 스프링과 댐퍼의 특성으로는 두 가지 차량 주행특성을 나타내는 차체 가속도와 타이어 동적력을 최소화할 수 없으므로 가변형 댐퍼를 이용한 반능동식 현가장치로서 승차감과 주행 안정성을 동시에 고려하여 성능 지수를 설계하는 LQ(Linear Quadratic)제어 이론을 적용하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. LQ 제어 성능지수의 가중함수는 주파수와 시간에 관계없이 상수로 고정되기 때문에 각 요소에 대한 비중이 모든 상황에서 동일하나 승차감이나 주행 안정성의 평가기준이 모든 주파수에서 동일하지 않으므로 본 연구에서는 자기유변댐퍼를 장착한 1/4차의 반능동형 현가장치를 구성하고 LQ 제어의 문제점을 해결하는 Frequency shaped 최적 제어를 이용하여 특정 주파수 범위에서 차량의 승차감과 주행 안정성을 향상시킨다. Frequency shaped 최적 제어는 가중치가 주파수의 함수인 성능 지수를 통해 제어 규칙을 구하는데, 가중함수의 설계기준을 인간이 가장 민감하게 느끼는 4~8Hz의 주파수에서는 승차감에 두고 차축 고유 진동수 부근에는 주행안전성에 둔다. 모사실험과 실험 결과로부터 Frequency shaped 최적 제어기를 장착한 반능동형 현가장치가 승차감과 주행 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

In general, the swing motion of the crane is controlled and suppressed by activating the trolley motion. In many papers reported by us, we suggested a new type of anti-sway control system of the crane. In the proposed control system, a small auxiliary mass(moving-mass) is installed on the spreader and the swing motion is controlled by moving the auxiliary mass. The actuator reaction against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container in order to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. Futhermore the measuring systems based on image sensor have been proposed also. To obtain the robustness for our control system, $H_{\infty}$ based control techniques and other approach have been applied to suppress swing motion. As well known, the robust control technologies based on $H_{\infty}$ control need complicated and difficult process. In the result, the obtained closed-loop system becomes to high order system which may give us many difficulties to apply it to the real plants. Therefore, we introduce an easy approach which is based on LQ control theory. In this approach, we introduce the frequency dependent weighting matrices which give the system filters to shape frequency characteristics of the controlled system and guarantee the control performance.

The wind-driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is currently under pressure to be more grid-compatible. The main concern is the fault ride-through (FRT) requirement to keep the generator connected to the grid during faults. In response to this, the paper introduces a novel model and new control scheme for the DFIG. The model provides a means of direct stator power control and considers the stator transients. On the basis of the derived model, a robust linear quadratic (LQ) controller is synthesized. The control law has proportional and integral actions and takes account of one sample delay in the input owing to the microprocessor's execution time. Further, the influence of the grid voltage imperfection is mitigated using frequency shaped cost functional method. Compensation of the rotor current pulsations is proposed to improve the FRT capability as well as the generator performance under grid voltage unbalance. As a consequence, the control system can achieve i) fast direct power control without instability risk, ii) alleviation of the problems associated with the DFIG operation under unbalanced grid voltage, and iii) high probability of successful grid FRT. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is confirmed through simulation studies on 2MW DFIG.
