Finally, the overall operational performances of DFIG wind turbine generation system using the proposed control strategies are simulated, and also compared with the conventional control strategies. The results show that the improved control strategy is more valid and correct.     

光储微电网混合储能系统的控制策略及开关优化

传统光储微电网混合储能系统控制策略将蓄电池视为容量无限大的理想元件,而实际上蓄电池容量有限,当蓄电池剩余电量达到阈值无法正常工作时传统控制策略将不适用。在二阶低通滤波法的基础上提出一种光储微电网混合储能系统的新型控制策略,同时考虑超级电容与蓄电池的剩余电量,根据储能元件的荷电状态调整储能元件输出电流参考值,维持储能元件剩余电量,但在极端天气情况下,仍需与储能元件保护开关相配合。由于采用传统储能元件保护开关的储能系统需独立的充放电电路,存在成本较高、充放电不连续等问题,因此,对储能元件的保护开关进行了改进,利用开关与二极管并联使其具有4种工作状态,在储能元件剩余电量达到阈值时,可自动恢复电量,降低了成本,提高了并网输出电能质量。最后结合新型控制策略与改进的保护开关,提出整体的混合储能系统控制方案,并用Matlab/Simulink对其进行仿真验证,结果证明了所提方法的正确性与可行性。

Robust H control for vehicle seat suspension systems with stochastic disturbance

The paper proposes the design method of robust H controller of vehicle seat suspension system. The dynamic model of seat suspension is developed,and the parameters uncertainties (mass, stiffness, damping) and stochastic vibration are introduced into the model system. Based on stochastic differential theory and Lyapunov functional, a semi controller is designed, and the controller parameters are solved by linear matrix inequality (LMI) which guarantees H performance index. The simulation results in time domain and frequency domain show that the controller designed for parameter uncertainties and stochastic vibration can attenuate the vertical acceleration of suspension system and improve riding comfort of human.     

Multi-objective control strategy for parallel HEV using fuzzy logic

A fuzzy multi-objective control strategy is proposed for parallel hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). By the concept of motor equivalent fuel consumption, the overall vehicle fuel economy and the corresponding emissions can be treated as the optimization objectives. Then a minimum average weighted deviation method is designed to find the Pareto optimal solution with considering the variations of objective preference in different district. The simulation on ADVISOR reveals that, compared with the rule based control strategy (RBCS), with the premise that there is no loss to power performance, the proposed fuzzy multi-objective control strategy (FMCS) not only improves fuel economy and emission level but also maintains battery SOC within its operation range more effectively.     

Robust adaptive control for nonlinear chaotic systems

Tracking control of a nonlinear uncertain Chua's chaotic system is studied. With coordinate transform, Chua's chaotic system is transformed to a general form of a strict feedback control system. Combining the backstepping method with robust control technology, an adaptive parameter control law for a robust output feedback control scheme is developed for output tracking of nonlinear unknown systems. It is shown that the derived robust adaptive controller based on Lyapunov stability theory can guarantee global uniformly bounded ultimate property for all states of the closed loop system, and lead to tracking error decreasing at exponential speed. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

An asymmetric fault ride-through control strategy for PMSG wind turbine

In order to improve the asymmetric fault ride-through capability of PMSG wind turbine, a novel control method is proposed. This method can reduce the negative sequence current component in the grid side converter and eliminate the 2 nd order voltage fluctuation in the DC link capacitor voltage of the AC-DC-AC converter. The proposed control method employs the grid voltage feed forward to reduce the grid side negative sequence current component, while a novel power control concept, output power of generator tracking the grid side power, is applied to control the electro-magnetic power of the PMSG to eliminate the 2 nd order voltage ripple in the DC link. Simulation results for a 1 MW case study show that the control method can eliminate the grid side negative sequence current component and the 2 nd order voltage ripple in the DC link at the same time.

Sunflower allelopathy for weed control in agriculture systems

Recent developments in weed science and allied aspects have involved several interdisciplinary approaches. In this context, indiscriminate use of herbicides for weed control has become a questionable subject, which besides controlling the weeds, the chemical herbicides are harmful in many ways to soil, crops, other plants and the environment as a whole. Taking into consideration ecologically sound weed management, in modern days the reliance on chemical herbicides has decreased and a shift towards naturally occurring biological herbicides has received great attention throughout the world. Sunflower is an annual dicotyledonous plant, herbaceous, erect, and a native of North America. It is thermo and photo-insensitive, hence it can be grown year round in sub-tropical and tropical countries. Only two spp. Helianthus annuus L. and Helianthus tuberosum are cultivated for food, the remaining spp., are ornamentals weeds and wild plants. However, H. annuus is allelopathic and inhibits the growth and development of other plants thus reducing their productivity. Sunflower is a major oil-yielding crop in India and its cultivation in northwest India started 25 to 30 years ago in areas located in the plains. In this region, rice-wheat rotation became very popular owing to its high yields; however, these crops are highly infested by weeds, thus farmers use herbicides for their control. Hence, this rotation consumes a maximum quantity of herbicides in this region, which has resulted in several problems viz., environmental pollution, human health hazards, and development of herbicide resistance in weeds. Thus, serious ecological questions about the reliance on herbicides for weed control in this rotation have been raised. One of the alternatives to overcome these problems is with the use of allelopathic strategies, including the use of weed-smothering crops for weed management and for the sustainability of agriculture. The field, pot culture, and laboratory studies have shown that inclusion of sunflower crops in rotation and intercropping considerably reduced the weed population in the current and succeeding crops. Rhizosphere soil of sunflower drastically smothered the weed germination, population, and biomass. The residual suppression effect of sunflower also persisted in the next crop up to 75 days. Thus, it is conceptualized that the inclusion of such oilseed crops before the rice crop in the rice-wheat rotation may provide satisfactory weed control in the succeeding rice crops and may minimize the use of herbicides. Likewise, the replacement of sorghum by summer sunflower oilseed crops may also help in the control of summer as well as winter weeds. More studies in this direction may provide avenues for satisfactory weed management in agro-ecosystems and may help to minimize the use of herbicides and thereby pave the way to develop sustainable agricultural practices for biodiversity conservation and enhancing biological integrity.

The results show that introducing the coordinated control strategy reduces the torque surge during the driving-mode-switch process and improves the vehicle drivability.     

Automatic control strategy and its test analysis for the heavy truck AMT

By analyzing the startup process of automated mechanical transmission(AMT), fuzzy control algorithm of clutch engagement speed and constant engine speed in part during startup are proposed based on comprehensive consideration of driver’s startup intention and startup performance indices.

In order to verify the validity of control strategy, an AMT prototype vehicle is developed and the test of startup, shift and jump downshift are carried out.     

Fuzzy adaptive tracking control for MIMO nonlinear time-varying delay systems

A fuzzy adaptive tracking control scheme is proposed for MIMO nonlinear time-varying delay systems. A fuzzy T-S model-based adaptive time-varying delay fuzzy logic systems is developed to approximate the unknown nonlinear time-varying delay functions.Thus, the modeling to nonlinear systems is implemented. The update laws for parameters of the fuzzy logic systems are derived by the tracking error. A Hcompensator is designed to eliminate fuzzy approximation errors and external disturbances. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem, the proposed control scheme can guarantee the stability of the closed loop systems and obtain anticipant Htracking performance as well. Simulation results of the manipulator demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme.     

Ratio control strategy for solving system response lag of continuously variable transmission system

Generally, there’s a system response lag in the continuously variable transmission system, and this leads to a deviation of the engine work point from the optimal operation line of the minimum fuel consumption. To reduce the influence of system response lag, a new CVT ratio control strategy with the system response lag parameter during computing target ratio is proposed. Simulation results indicate that the proposed control strategy can overcome the effect of system response lag, so as to keep the engine work point on the optimal operation line effectively. A comparison of fuel consumption is made between the proposed control strategy and the traditional one by simulation, and results indicate that the proposed control strategy reduces the fuel consumption of the system by 2.85％.     

A strategy of ideotype development for heat-tolerant wheat

Heat stress significantly limits yield in many wheat-growing areas globally including north-western NSW. While various traits linked to high-temperature tolerance have been identified, the combination of traits that optimize the heat tolerance of wheat has not been established in most environments. A total of 554 genotypes were evaluated in the field at different times of sowing in north-western NSW for three consecutive years to develop a heat-tolerant wheat ideotype for this environment. The later sown experiments were exposed to higher temperatures at the critical reproductive and grain-filling stages of development. The impact of high temperature was greatest at anthesis, and eventual grain yield was reduced by between 4% and 7% with every 1°C rise in average maximum temperature above the optimum of 25°C. High temperature reduced yield, plant height, grain weight and days to anthesis and maturity, and increased the percentage of screenings and grain protein content. Genotypes that produced higher yield under heat stress had shorter days to flowering and maturity, higher NDVI during grain filling, greater chlorophyll content at the milk stage of grain fill, taller plants, greater grain weight and number, and lower screenings compared with the benchmark cultivar Suntop. The genotype closest to the predicted heat-tolerant wheat ideotype identified from trait ranges had 79.6% similarity.

A fast generation cycling system for oat and triticale breeding

A fast generation cycling system (FGCS) was developed in oat and triticale, allowing the production of pure line populations of the crops within 1‐year timeframe. Twelve oat and 12 triticale cultivars were tested using the FGCS, and most of them completed a generation cycle within 48–61 days under the system achieving up to seven generations a year. This system involves growing plants under stressed conditions to promote reproduction and in vitro culture of immature embryos bypassing full seed maturation. The developed system could be widely adopted in breeding and genetic studies of crops for producing desired segregating pure line populations, which could significantly shorten the breeding cycles.
