High performance direct torque control of electrical aerodynamics load simulator using adaptive fuzzy backstepping control

Abstract

Electrical load simulator is hardware in the loop simulator used to exert real-time aerodynamics loads on the servo actuation system of a flight vehicle under test according to flight conditions. This article investigates direct torque control of electrical load simulator system using adaptive fuzzy backstepping method. To analyze the effect of extra torque disturbance on electrical load simulator system, detailed mathematical formulations are derived. Considering practical aspects of the proposed method, state vector is estimated using a state predictor, and parameters of the system are estimated using algebraic method. Fuzzy logic system is used to estimate extra torque disturbance acting on electrical load simulator system, but the approximation error may not converge to zero, which may affect control performance. Similarly, the parameters of the system may vary with time; thus the lumped disturbance due to time variation of parameters and fuzzy approximation error is compensated using adaptive control law derived based on estimated error dynamics between actual plant and state predictor. Moreover, to improve transient response, a novel saturation function-based transient performance controller is introduced. The performance of the proposed control is verified using extensive numerical simulations.

A Trigonometric Approach to Time Fractional FitzHugh-Nagumo Model on Nerve Pulse Propagation

“…Nonetheless; though its fascinating nature and contribution of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, it has not been a huge attraction. Recent decades have seen a dramatically accelerating pace in the development of fractional calculus due to frequently appearing in various applications in fields of biomechanics, viscoelasticity, control theory, aerodynamics, physics and engineering and so on [1,2]. The popularity of FC has attracted many researchers from all over the world, thus, this attraction produced research papers and books covering all areas of science and motivated and development of numerical methods [3,4].…”

Research on design method of double-loop electric servo loading system with high-frequency band based on H∞ control strategy

“…In terms of control strategy, literature 14,15 respectively introduce AC electric loading systems with advanced PID control and fuzzy self-adaptive control, and the operating frequency band reaches 20 Hz when the ''dual-ten'' index is met. The HN controller designed in literature 16 suppresses the surplus force of the rudder.…”

Non Integer Order Modeling and Control of Aerodynamic Load Simulator System

“…The solution of a fractional order continuously variable order spring mass damper equation is presented in [35] and the applications of fractional order DC motor model for control system design is discussed in [36]. In the author's previous work, a fractional order fuzzy back stepping controller is proposed [39]. Although it has been shown that the fractional order controllers perform better as compared to the integer order but since the controllers are formulated using integer order dynamics of the ELS system, so the advantages presented in [31] have not been exploited.…”
