Control Method for Vehicles on Base of Natural Energy Recovery

Abstract

This paper is devoted to vehicle movement control method based on the natural energy recovery [1] and position-path control approach [2,3,4]. This method ensures the fullest use of kinematic energy of the controlled vehicle. Method is applied for path profile with variable height. Vehicle velocity is changed to minimize kinematic energy losses. The time of the path passage is accounted in the designed method. In this report typical profiles of the controlled vehicle are considered. In general case the vehicle velocity program is developed on base of solutions for typical profiles. The vehicle velocity program is changing while vehicle is moving. The developed method is applied for control of trains implemented with electrical power drives. On base of train model studying it is proved that optimal mode of trains acceleration is maximal traction. The maximal traction ensures minimum energy consumption of train drives. But the traction of trains is extreme function of the speed wheel slip [5, 6]. Therefore the new extreme control for the train drives is developed. This method supports trains traction in extreme value. The developed method is implemented in simulator based on Matlab and Universal Mechanism. Movement of a freight train on a real track section is simulated.

Adaptive Control Algorithm of the Synchronous Generator

“…This control successfully used in robotic mobile systems [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], such as control systems of autonomous marine devices [3][4][5] and aeronautic complex [7,10], and for constructing regulator of stationary systems [1 -2], such as control systems of traction electric motor [8], DC motor, synchronous generator [2], etc.…”
