Recently over dropped frequencies of power system were recorded when power system was unbalanced between generation and demand. Therefore load following characteristic analysis of thermal and combined cycle power plant generators is necessary for low frequency condition analysis of power system. Frequency simulator supplies simulated frequency to the online generator for prescribed goal. This simulator needs to minimize effects to power system and requires stability first. This paper introduces design and manufacturing case of frequency simulator for load following characteristic analysis of generators.

The path following problem of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect is investigated based on Robust $H_{\infty}$ Guaranteed Cost Control (RHGCC). To design the controller, the ship maneuvering motion is modeled as a linear uncertain system with norm-bounded time-varying parametric uncertainty. To counteract the bank and wind effects, the integral of path error is augmented to the original system. Based on the extended linear uncertain system, sufficient conditions for existence of the RHGCC are given. To obtain an optimal robust $H_{\infty}$ guaranteed cost control law, a convex optimization problem with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints is formulated, which minimizes the guaranteed cost of the close-loop system and mitigates the effect of external disturbance on the performance output. Numerical simulations have confirmed the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy for the path following goal of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect.

A high-performance robust hybrid speed controller for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive with an on-line trained neural-network model-following controller (NNMFC) is proposed. The robust hybrid controller is a two-degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) integral plus proportional & rate feedback (I-PD) with neural-network model-following (NNMF) speed controller (2DOF I-PD NNMFC). The robust controller combines the merits of the 2DOF I-PD controller and the NNMF controller to regulate the speed of a PMSM drive. First, a systematic mathematical procedure is derived to calculate the parameters of the synchronous d-q axes PI current controllers and the 2DOF I-PD speed controller according to the required specifications for the PMSM drive system. Then, the resulting closed loop transfer function of the PMSM drive system including the current control loop is used as the reference model. In addition to the 200F I-PD controller, a neural-network model-following controller whose weights are trained on-line is designed to realize high dynamic performance in disturbance rejection and tracking characteristics. According to the model-following error between the outputs of the reference model and the PMSM drive system, the NNMFC generates an adaptive control signal which is added to the 2DOF I-PD speed controller output to attain robust model-following characteristics under different operating conditions regardless of parameter variations and load disturbances. A computer simulation is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed 200F I-PD NNMF controller. The results confirm that the proposed 2DOF I-PO NNMF speed controller produces rapid, robust performance and accurate response to the reference model regardless of load disturbances or PMSM parameter variations.

In this paper, an Automatic Terrain Following (ATF) Simulator using Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) was proposed. This ATF Simulator consists of a Flight Simulator, a Radar Simulator, and a Terrain Following Computer (TFC) Simulator. DTED and radar scan data generated with DTED were used as the terrain information necessary for terrain following. The ATF Simulator provides three modes of operation: a passive mode that uses DTED, an active mode that uses radar scan data, and a hybrid mode that uses both. We developed an ATF Simulator that could reduce the cost and time required to develop a terrain following system using the LabVIEW development environment and the MATLAB App Designer development environment. It was verified by confirming that the ATF Simulator met all functional requirements.

Many control techniques have been proposed in order to improve the control performance in the control system. In the feedback control system the output of controller is generally used as the input of a plant But the undesired noise is included in the output of a controller. Therefore, there is a need to use a precompensator for rejecting the undesired noise and improving the response characteristic of a system. In this paper, the design method of a precompensator is proposed for the model following control in the I-PD control system. The proposed precompensator is implemented with a neural network. The games of a precompensator are adjusted automatically to obtain a desired response of a system when the response characteristic of a system is changed under a condition.

The ReCell system (Avita Medical) is a cell culture product that allows the immediate processing of a small split-thickness skin biopsy to produce a complete population of cells including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells and fibroblasts. This series is the first to highlight the reconstructive applications of ReCell following ablative skin cancer surgery. The ReCell system was utilized for three patients following skin cancer excision. In two cases, the cells were applied to forehead flap donor sites following nasal reconstruction. In one case, the cells were applied to the calvarial periosteum following wide local excision of a melanoma scar. Assessment of the treated area was performed using the patient and observer scar assessment scale after 1 year. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) scores for the 2 patients treated with ReCell following forehead flap surgery were 22 and 32. The score for the patient that underwent wide local excision of a melanoma scar was 45. The absence of a donor site, accelerated healing and the satisfactory aesthetic appearance of the mature scars in this series suggest that ReCell may play a useful role in reconstruction following skin cancer excision.

A UUV needs to have a robust path following performance because of unpredicted current disturbances. Because the desired path of a UUV is usually designed by considering the locations of obstacles or geographical features of the operation region, the UUV should stay on the desired path to avoid damage or loss of the vehicle. However, conventional path following methods cannot deal with strong countercurrent disturbances. Thus, the UUV may deviate from the desired path. In order to avoid such deviation, a backward path following method is suggested. This paper proposes a path following method that combines pure pursuit guidance and nonlinear guidance for the UUV under an unpredicted strong ocean current. For a stable path following system, this paper suggests that the UUV adjust its heading to the current direction using the pure pursuit guidance method when the system is in an unstable region, or the UUV follows the desired path with nonlinear guidance. By combining the pure pursuit guidance and nonlinear guidance, it was possible to overcome the drawbacks of each path following method in the reverse path following case. The efficiency of the proposed method is shown through simulation results compared to those of the pure pursuit method and nonlinear guidance method.

This paper suggests a design method of the model-following H${\infty}$ control system having robust performance. This H${\infty}$ control system is designed by applying genetic algorithm(GA) with reference model to the optimal determination of weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ that are given by Glover-Doyle algorithm which can design H${\infty}$ controller in the state space. These weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ are optimized simultaneously in the search domain guaranteeing the robust performance of closed-loop system. The effectiveness of this H${\infty}$ control system is verified by applying to the boiler-turbine control system.

A model following control system(MFCS) can give general output signals following desired ones. In previous studies, a method of nonlinear MFCS was proposed by S.Okubo[1]. In this paper, the method of nonlinear MFCS will be extended to discrete time nonlinear systems. It is easy to extend the method to discrete time systems. But in the case .gamma.=1 discrete time systems, the proof becomes difficult, because the transfer function from f(v(k)) to v(k) can't be a positive real function. In this case, to ensure that internal states are stable, a new criterion is proposed.

Periodic disturbance compensators are widely used in track following servo systems. They are commonly designed and implemented by adaptive feedforward compensators or internal model based compensators. In track following servo systems, the gains of the compensators should be determined considering the change of the sensitivity transfer function and the implementation methods should be selected considering the system environment. This paper proposes a guide for determining gains of the periodic disturbance compensators. Various simulation and experimental results are presented to see the effect of gains. In addition, this paper introduces the various types of implementation methods and compares their merits and demerits.
