The terminal sliding mode controllers are assigned in each area to achieve the LFC goal. The increasing complexity of the nonlinear power system aggravates the effects of system uncertainties. Radial basis function neural networks(RBF NNs) are designed to approximate the entire uncertainties. The terminal sliding mode controllers and the RBF NNs work in parallel to solve the LFC problem for the renewable power system. Some simulation results illustrate the feasibility and validity of the presented scheme.展开更多

The RBFNN is introduced to approximate the complex nonlinear function involving uncertainties and external unknown disturbances, and meanwhile a new robust term is constructed to further estimate the system residual error,which removes the requirement of knowing the upper bound of the disturbances and uncertainty terms. The stability analysis of the power system is presented based on the Lyapunov function,which can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness(UUB) of all parameters and states of the whole closed-loop system. A comparison is made between the RBFNN-based robust adaptive control and the general backstepping control in the simulation part to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.展开更多

Its lower layer has a number of local controllers that are operated independently, and its upper layer has a learning agent that communicates with the independent local controllers in the lower layer. To implement such a system, a packet-discard strategy is firstly developed to deal with network-induced delay and data packet loss. A cubic spline interpolator is then employed to compensate the lost data. Finally, the output of the learning agent based on a novel radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is used to update the parameters of fuzzy controllers. A nonlinear heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed system.展开更多

This paper focuses on its robust adaptive control. First, a mathematical model of a coaxial twelve-rotor is established. Aiming at the problem of model uncertainty and external disturbance of the coaxial twelve-rotor UAV, the attitude controller is innovatively adopted with the combination of a backstepping sliding mode controller (BSMC) and an adaptive radial basis function neural network (RBFNN). The BSMC combines the advantages of backstepping control and sliding mode control, which has a simple design process and strong robustness. The RBFNN as an uncertain observer, can effectively estimate the total uncertainty. Then the stability of the twelve-rotor UAV control system is proved by Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, it is proved that the robust adaptive control strategy presented in this paper can overcome model uncertainty and external disturbance effectively through numerical simulation and prototype of twelve-rotor UAV tests.展开更多

A controller is first designed by the use of a hierarchical structure of two first-order sliding surfaces represented by two actuated and un-actuated subsystems in the bridge crane. Parameters of the controller are then intelligently estimated, where uncertain parameters due to disturbances in the 3D overhead crane dynamic model are proposed to be represented by radial basis function networks whose weights are derived from a Lyapunov function. The proposed approach allows the crane system to be robust under uncertainty conditions in which some uncertain and unknown parameters are highly difficult to determine. Moreover, stability of the sliding surfaces is proved to be guaranteed. Effectiveness of the proposed approach is then demonstrated by implementing the algorithm in both synthetic and reallife systems, where the results obtained by our method are highly promising.展开更多
