Title: Windup in Control: Its Effects and Their Prevention (Advances in Industrial Control)
Author: Peter Hippe
Publisher: Springer (May 22, 2006)
Publication Date: 2006-05-22
Number Of Pages: 314
Actuator saturation is probably the most frequent nonlinearity encountered in control applications. Input saturation leads to controller windup, removable by
structural modification during compensator realization and plant windup which calls for additional dynamics. Peter Hippe presents solutions to the windup
prevention problem for stable and unstable single-input-single-output and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The solutions use only standard tools
for the investigation of linear systems – state equations, transfer functions, etc. The stability tests are based on well-known criteria for loops consisting of a linear
part with isolated sector-type nonlinearity. Less rigorous "engineering solutions" which guarantee improved performance but without strict proof of stability are
also demonstrated. MIMO systems in which the behaviour of controlled variables is decoupled require specific input vectors and so also suffer problems of
directionality when their input signals saturate. This can have extremely deleterious consequences for closed-loop behaviour. Windup in Control offers an exact
solution to this directionality problem for stable and unstable systems. The methods laid out in this survey also integrate solutions for applications with rate-
constrained actuators and for bumpless transfer from manual to automatic during system start-up or in override control. Developments in control methods are
always supplemented by easily repeated numerical examples. Academics doing control-related research in electronics, mechanics, or mechatronics and
engineers working in the process industries will find this book an extremely useful overview of systematic windup prevention for all kinds of systems. It also has
valuable insights to offer the graduate student of control

Title: Nonlinear H2/H8 Constrained Feedback Control: A Practical Design Approach Using Neural Networks (Advances in Industrial Control)
Author: Murad Abu-Khalaf, Jie Huang, Frank L. Lewis
Publisher: Springer (August 2006)
Publication Date: 2006-08
Number Of Pages: 203
Modern aerospace, automotive, nautical, industrial, microsystem-assembly and robotic systems are becoming more and more complex. High-performance
vehicles no longer have built-in error safety margins, but are inherently unstable by design to allow for more flexible maneuvering options. With the push towards
better performance in terms of greater accuracy and faster speed of response, control demands are increasing. The combination of highly nonlinear dynamics,
relaxed static stability, and tight performance specifications places increasing demands on the design of feedback systems for control. Current control system
design techniques have difficulty in meeting these demands. In this book the authors present algorithms for H2 and H-infinity design for nonlinear systems which,
unlike earlier theories, provide solution techniques for the core Hamilton–Jacobi equations that yield control systems which can be implemented in real systems;
neural networks are used to solve the nonlinear control design equations. Industrial and aerospace systems usually have constraints on the amplitudes of the
control actuator inputs so techniques are set out for dealing with these. All results are proven mathematically to give confidence and performance guarantees
and the design algorithms can be used to obtain practically useful controllers. Nearly optimal applications to constrained-state and mimimum-time problems are
also discussed and since control systems are usually implemented using computer microprocessors, a chapter is devoted to discrete-time design to yield digital
controllers. Nonlinear H2/H-infinity Constrained Feedback Control will be of major importance to control systems designers working in industrial, automotive,
robotic, military and chemical process systems. Design and simulation case studies are given and the design of nonlinear control systems of the same caliber as
those obtained in recent years using linear optimal and bounded-norm designs based on the Riccati equation is explained together with feedback control
systems of guaranteed high performance that can be implemented directly as a nonlinear network structure. With its opening chapter introducing such necessary
control system foundations as Lyapunov theory, passivity and game theory, the book will also be of great interest to academics and their graduate students in
control systems as a complete foundation for H2 and H-infinity design

Robustness is often of crucial importance in control system design. Real engineering systems are vulnerable to external disturbance and measurement noise and
there are always discrepancies between mathematical models used for design and the actual system in practice.
Robust Control Design with MATLAB® helps you learn how to use well-developed advanced robust control design methods in practical cases. To this end,
several realistic control design examples ranging from teaching-laboratory experiments, such as a mass–damper–spring assembly, to complex systems like a
flexible link manipulator are given detailed presentation. All the design exercises are conducted using MATLAB® Robust Control Toolbox, Control System
Toolbox and Simulink®.
By sharing their experiences in industrial cases with minimum recourse to complicated theories and formulae, the authors convey essential ideas and useful
insights into robust industrial control systems design using major H-infinity optimization and related methods allowing you quickly to move on with your own
challenges.
Features:
* Hands-on, tutorial presentation giving you the opportunity to repeat the designs presented and easily to modify them for your own programs.
* An abundance of examples illustrating the most important steps in robust design.
On the CD-ROM:
* M-files developed with MATLAB® help you to understand the essence of robust control system design portrayed in the text-based examples.
* MDL- files for simulation of open- and closed-loop control in Simulink®.
* Full-color interpretations of all suitable figures for extra clarity.
Robust Control Design with MATLAB® is for graduate students and practising engineers who want to learn how to deal with robust control design problems
without spending a lot of time in researching complex theoretical developments.

Title: Multivariable Computer-Controlled Systems: A Transfer Function Approach (Communications and Control Engineering)
Author: Efim N. Rosenwasser, Bernhard P. Lampe
Publisher: Springer (June 28, 2006)
Publication Date: 2006-06-13
Number Of Pages: 500
The transfer function approach is widely used in classical control theory for its easy handling and physical meaning. Although the use of transfer functions is well-
established for linear time-invariant systems, it is not suitable for non-stationary systems among which are sampled-data systems and processes with periodically
varying coefficients. Computer-controlled continuous-time processes are a very important subset of periodic sampled-data systems which are not treatable using
ordinary transfer functions. Having established the ability of the parametric transfer function to solve this problem for single-input, single-output systems in
previous work, the authors extend these methods, which incorporate time-dependence, to the idea of the parametric transfer matrix in a complete exposition of
analysis and design methods for multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) sampled-data systems. Multivariable Computer-controlled Systems is divided into three
parts: Preliminary algebraic material describing the established fundamentals of polynomial and rational matrices necessary for the understanding of later
chapters. Control problems, important in their own right but which also have a substantial bearing on what follows (eigenvalue assignment and the use of z- and
zeta-transforms in discrete systems). Frequency methods for the investigation of MIMO sampled-data systems (parametric discrete-time models; stability;
stochastic methods; H2 optimization and L2 design). Appendices covering basic mathematical formulae and the description of two MATLAB® toolboxes round
out this self-contained guide to multivariable control systems. Of special interest to researchers in automatic control and to development engineers working with
advanced control technology, Multivariable Computer-controlled Systems will also interest mathematical control theorists and graduate students studying
advanced methods of computer-based control

Title: Robust Control in Power Systems (Power Electronics and Power Systems)
Author: Bikash Pal, Balarko Chaudhuri
Publisher: Springer (June 21, 2005)
Publication Date: 2005-06-21
Number Of Pages: 190
Robust Control in Power Systems deals with the applications of new techniques in linear system theory to control low frequency oscillations in power systems.
The book specifically focuses on the analysis and damping of inter-area oscillations in the systems which are in the range of 0.2-1 Hz. The damping control
action is injected through high power electronic devices known as flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers. Three commonly used FACTS
controllers: controllable series capacitors (CSCs) controllable phase shifters (CPSs) and static var compensators (SVCs) have been used in this book to control the
inter-area oscillations.
The overview of linear system theory from the perspective of power system control is explained through examples. The damping control design is formulated as
norm optimization problem. The H_infinity, H2 norm of properly defined transfer functions are minimized in linear matrix inequalities (LMI) framework to obtain
desired performance and stability robustness. Both centralized and decentralized control structures are used.
Usually the transmission of feedback signal from a remote location encounters delays making it difficult to control the system. Smith predictor based approach
has been successfully explored in this book as a solution to such a problem.
Robust Control in Power Systems will be valuable to academicians in the areas of power, control and system theory, as well as professionals in the power industry.

Title: Robust Control of Time-delay Systems
Author: Qing-Chang Zhong
Publisher: Springer (April 11, 2006)
Publication Date: 2006-04-11
Number Of Pages: 231
Systems with delays appear frequently in engineering; typical examples of time-delay systems are communication networks, chemical processes and tele-
operation systems. The presence of delays makes system analysis and control design much more complicated. During the last decade, we have witnessed
significant developments in robust control of time-delay systems. Robust Control of Time-delay Systems presents a systematic and comprehensive treatment for
robust (H-infinity) control of such systems in the frequency domain. The emphasis is on systems with a single input or output delay, although the delay-free part of
the plant can be multi-input-multi-output, in which case the delays in different channels should be the same. This synthesis of the author’s recent work covers the
whole range of robust control of time-delay systems: from controller parameterization and design to controller implementation; from the Nehari and one-block
problems to the four-block problem; from theoretical developments to practical issues. The major tools used in this book are similarity transformation, the chain-
scattering approach and J-spectral factorization. The idea is, in the words of Albert Einstein, to "make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler". A
website associated with the book is a source of MATLAB® and Simulink® material which will assist with simulation and modelling of the material in the text.
Robust Control of Time-delay Systems is self-contained and will interest control theorists, researchers and mathematicians working with time-delay systems and
engineers looking to design commercial controllers or to use them in plants or communication systems with time delays. Its methodical approach will also be of
value to graduates studying either general robust control theory or its particular applications in time-delay systems.
