Due to uncontrollability and non-repeatability of natural irradiation and temperature, the solar array simulator (SAS) is required to conduct the MPPT power processing experiments precisely. However, the nonlinearity of PV curve characteristic is a crucial task for the control of SAS. In the literature, this issue is addressed by many authors and various methods are proposed. However, stability analysis of SAS is not enough to evaluate the control performance. In this paper, the limitations of conventional SAS are studied according to the small signal model. By using the proposed approach, the performance of two different control method for SAS system are analyzed and compared.

A systematic procedure for the elements of system matrix in multimachine systems with loads is suggested for the small-signal stability studies. Synchronous machines are represented by either a two-axis model or classical model. The interrelationship of submatrices of system matrix is investigated. Once elements of one submatrix are determined, they can be used to calculate the elements of the other submatrix. It is illustrated for three machine and nine bus multimachine systems with constant impedance loads, constant MVA load, constant current and power factors.

This study describes how digital time delay deteriorates control performance in zero voltage switching (ZVS) phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter. The small-signal model of the ZVS PSFB converter is derived from the buck-converter small-signal model. Digital time delay effects have been considered according to the digital sampling methods. The analysis verifies that digital time delays reduce the stability margin of the converter, and the double sampling technique exhibits better performance than the single sampling technique. Both simulation and experimental results based on 250 W ZVS PSFB confirm the validity of the analyses performed in the study.

LLC resonant DC-DC converter is widely used in many kinds of applications such as battery energy storage systems, wireless power transfer and high voltage power supply. It is because of characteristics like high efficiency, power density, isolation, wide power level and stability enhancement at high switching frequency. Small signal modeling helps to design controller of the converter by approximating the behavior of nonlinear system with linear state equations. This paper presents comparison between small signal modeling analysis and experimental results of LLC resonant converter.

The high-switching-frequency operation of power converters can achieve high power density through size reduction of passive components, such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers. However, a small-output capacitor that has small capacitance and low effective series resistance changes the small-signal model of the converter power stage. Such a capacitor can make the converter unstable by increasing the crossover frequency in the transfer function of the small-signal model. In this paper, the design and implementation of a high-frequency LLC resonant converter are presented to verify the power density enhancement achieved by decreasing the size of passive components. The effect of small output capacitance is analyzed for stability by using a proper small-signal model of the LLC resonant converter. Finally, proper design methods of a feedback compensator are proposed to obtain a sufficient phase margin in the Bode plot of the loop gain of the converter for stable operation at 500 kHz switching frequency. A theoretical approach using MATLAB, a simulation approach using PSIM, and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed analysis and design methods with 100 and 500 kHz prototype converters.

It is possible to weaken the undesirable effect of a bounded control input signal to the plant and done by setting up an additional correction loop which compensates for the suppresed portion of the control input signal. The design and analysys of stability of state controller is used by the Kalman-Szego-Lemma and as the result of this method is made possible to take advantage of the control input to the plant even for small error signals.

A discrete-time learning control for robotic manipulators is studied using its pulse transfer function. Firstly, discrete-time learning stability condition which is applicable to single-input two-outputs systems is derived. Secondly, stability of learning algorithm with position signal is studied. In this case, when sampling period is small, the algorithm is not stable because of an unstable zero of the system. Thirdly, stability of algorithm with position and velocity signals is studied. In this case, we can stabilize the learning control system which is unstable in learning with only position signal. Finally, simulation results on the trajectory control of robotic manipulators using the discrete-time learning control are shown. This simulation results agree well with the analytical ones.

One of main concepts involved in regional small nuclear reactors is unmanned remote control. Internet-based virtual private networks provide environments for the remote monitoring and control of geographically-dispersed systems, and with the advances in communication technologies, the potential of networks for real time control and automation becomes enormous. However, networked control has some problems. The most critical is delay in signal transmission, which degrades system stability and performance. Therefore, a networked control system should be designed to account for delay. This paper proposes some design approaches for a delay-tolerant system that can guarantee predetermined stability margins and performance. To accomplish this, the reactor plant is modeled with consideration of uncertainties. With this model, three kinds of controllers are developed using different methods. The designed systems are compared with respect to stability and performance, and a second-order controller designed using the table lookup method was found to give the most satisfactory results.

This study evaluates the stability of a 4.99-ton small coastal fishing boat using data interpreted according to the second-generation intact stability criteria of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The focus is on the ship's behavior under surfriding/broaching conditions during sea navigation, ensuring compliance with international standards. The data processing procedures presented apply stricter criteria than the first-generation intact stability standards to assess the ship's intact stability in waves. However, if the vessel deviates from its standard condition, a separate intact stability assessment based on actual loading conditions is necessary. The surfriding/broaching data processing procedures utilized a program developed by the Shipbuilding and Ocean Equipment Research Center at Kunsan National University. The results were analyzed and compared in detail according to the conditions, parameters, and criteria used for the calculations. Additionally, the study presents the results of Level 1 and Level 2 assessments according to IMO regulations, providing a parametric analysis of the small coastal fishing boat's stability. This allows for the evaluation of intact stability in hydrodynamic motion scenarios.tract.
