Finite-Time Control for a Coupled Four-Tank Liquid Level System Based on the Port-Controlled Hamiltonian Method

Abstract

This work investigates the finite-time control problem for a nonlinear four-tank cross-coupled liquid level system by the port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) model. A fixed-free methodology is exhibited which can be used to simplify the controller design procedure. To get an adjustable convergent gain of the finite-time control, a feasible technique named damping normalization is proposed. A novel parameter autotuning algorithm is given to clarify the principle of choosing parameters of the PCH method. Furthermore, a finite-time controller is designed by a state-error desired Hamiltonian function, and the relationship between the settling time and a parameter is given, which can be applied in practical engineering easily to adjust the settling time according to the industrial need. Finally, simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Evaluation of College Students’ Emergency Response Capability Based on Questionnaire‐TOPSIS Innovative Algorithm

“…Principle. e development of evaluation models offers the possibility to solve a number of scientific problems [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. Chen et al [27] first proposed the TOPSIS model, and they evaluated the advantages and disadvantages of the decision-making unit by establishing positive and negative ideal solutions and using the parameters of each decision unit in the actual problem and the relative distance of the two solutions.…”

A Novel Partial Decoupling Control for Three-Tank Liquid Level System

“…et al proposed a energy-shaping and integral control for the three-tank liquid level system based on the PCH system and mass balance principle [19]. Xu T. et al investigates the finite-time control problem by PCH model [20]. These results have achieved good results in liquid level systems, but the coupling problem of liquid level system has not been deeply studied.…”
