ANALYSIS, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

Complex systems present important challenges, in part due to their sheer size, which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. This book gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems-related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems A Model-Based Approach

Fuzzy logic control (FLC) has proven to be a popular control methodology for many complex systems in industry, and is often used with great success as an alternative to conventional control techniques. However, because it is fundamentally model free, conventional FLC suffers from a lack of tools for systematic stability analysis and controller design. To address this problem, many model-based fuzzy control approaches have been developed, with the fuzzy dynamic model or the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model-based approaches receiving the greatest attention. Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approachoffers a unique reference devoted to the systematic analysis and synthesis of model-based fuzzy control systems. After giving a brief review of the varieties of FLC, including the TS fuzzy model-based control, it fully explains the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems. This enables the book to be self-contained and provides a basis for later chapters, which cover: TS fuzzy modeling and identification via nonlinear models or data Stability analysis of TS fuzzy systems Stabilization controller synthesis as well as robust H and observer and output feedback controller synthesis Robust controller synthesis of uncertain TS fuzzy systems Time-delay TS fuzzy systems Fuzzy model predictive control Robust fuzzy filtering Adaptive control of TS fuzzy systems A reference for scientists and engineers in systems and control, the book also serves the needs of graduate students exploring fuzzy logic control. It readily demonstrates that conventional control technology and fuzzy logic control can be elegantly combined and further developed so that disadvantages of conventional FLC can be avoided and the horizon of conventional control technology greatly extended. Many chapters feature application simulation examples and practical numerical examples based on MATLAB.

Adaptive control system

Adaptive control is no longer just an important theoretical field of study, but is also providing solutions to real-world problems. Adaptive techniques will transform the world of control. The leading world practitioners of adaptive control have contributed to this handbook which is the most important work yet in this field. Not only are techniques described in theory, but detailed control algorithms are given, making this a practical cookbook of adaptive control for both control professionals and practising engineers. The book presents the most advanced techniques and algorithms of adaptive control. These include various robust techniques, performance enhancement techniques, techniques with less a-priori knowledge, nonlinear adaptive control techniques and intelligent adaptive techniques. Each technique described has been developed to provide a practical solution to a real-life problem. This volume will therefore not only advance the field of adaptive control as an area of study, but will also show how the potential of this technology can be realised and offer significant benefits. Practical cookbook of adaptive control Contains important research

Time-Delay Systems

Edited by: Dragutin Debeljkovic



ISBN 978-953-307-559-4, Hard cover, 226 pages

Publisher: InTech

Publication date: February 2011

Time delay is very
often encountered in various technical systems, such as electric,
pneumatic and hydraulic networks, chemical processes, long transmission
lines, robotics, etc.
The existence of pure time lag, regardless if it is present in the
control or/and the state, may cause undesirable system transient
response, or even instability.
Consequently, the problem of controllability, observability, robustness,
optimization, adaptive control, pole placement and particularly
stability and robustness stabilization for this class of systems, has
been one of the main interests for many scientists and researchers
during the last five decades.

Advances in PID Control

Edited by: Valery D. Yurkevich



ISBN 978-953-307-267-8, Hard cover, 274 pages

Publisher: InTech

Publication date: September 2011

Since the
foundation and up to the current state-of-the-art in control
engineering, the problems of PID control steadily attract great
attention of numerous researchers and remain inexhaustible source of new
ideas for process of control system design and industrial applications.
PID control effectiveness is usually caused by the nature of dynamical
processes, conditioned that the majority of the industrial dynamical
processes are well described by simple dynamic model of the first or
second order. The efficacy of PID controllers vastly falls in case of
complicated dynamics, nonlinearities, and varying parameters of the
plant. This gives a pulse to further researches in the field of PID
control. Consequently, the problems of advanced PID control system
design methodologies, rules of adaptive PID control, self-tuning
procedures, and particularly robustness and transient performance for
nonlinear systems, still remain as the areas of the lively interests for
many scientists and researchers at the present time. The recent
research results presented in this book provide new ideas for improved
performance of PID control applications.
