Nonlinear control with wave observer to maximize harvested power for point absorber wave energy converters
Publisher: Wiley
Date: 30-11-2022
DOI: 10.1002/ASJC.2461
Abstract: This paper designs control laws that maximize the harvested power for submerged point absorber wave energy converters (PAWECs) constrained to heave motion. First, a mathematical model of a submerged PAWEC driven by nonlinear hydrodynamic, friction, restoring, and harvested power forces is derived. Second, a new disturbance observer is designed that globally practically exponentially estimate the wave velocity and its time derivatives. Next, the optimal operating points are derived such that when the PAWEC operates at these points, the harvested power is maximized. Fourth, nonlinear control laws are designed to track the optimal operating points based on the proposed disturbance observer and Lyapunov's direct method. In addition to maximize the harvested power, these optimal control laws ensure that the harvested power is always nonnegative i.e., no power is drawn from the network to the PAWEC at any time. For comparison, a control law that maximizes the hydrodynamic extraction power is also designed. Several simulations are carried out and illustrate that the maximizing harvested power control yields better results than others.

DOI: 10.1017/S0263574721000333
Abstract: This paper formulates and solves a new problem of global practical inverse optimal exponential path-tracking control of mobile robots driven by Lévy processes with unknown characteristics. The control design is based on a new inverse optimal control design for nonlinear systems driven by Lévy processes and ensures global practical exponential stability almost surely and in the p th moment for the path-tracking errors. Moreover, it minimizes cost function that penalizes tracking errors and control torques without having to solve a Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman or Hamilton–Jaccobi–Isaacs equation.

Global path-following control of underactuated ships under deterministic and stochastic sea loads
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (CUP)
Date: 20-03-2016
DOI: 10.1017/S0263574715000211
Abstract: This paper presents a new method to design global path-following controllers for underactuated ships under both deterministic and stochastic sea loads. The path-following errors are first interpreted in a moving frame attached to the path. These errors are then to be stabilized at the origin by a design of controllers based on backstepping and Lyapunov's direct methods. Weak and strong nonlinear Lyapunov functions are introduced to overcome difficulties caused by underactuation and Hessian terms induced by stochastic differentiation rule, and to guarantee boundedness of the sway velocity. Potential projection functions are introduced to design update laws that provide bounded estimates of the mean values and covariances of the disturbances. Simulations are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Global path-following control of stochastic underactuated ships: A level curve approach
Publisher: ASME International
Date: 07-2015
DOI: 10.1115/1.4029885
Abstract: A level curve approach is introduced to design global path-following controllers for an underactuated surface ship. The approach is based on the observation: if the position of the ship satisfies the equation of the reference path, then the ship will be on the path. Thus, the controllers are designed based on Lyapunov's direct and backstepping methods to force the position of the ship to satisfy the equation of the path and to move along the path tangentially. The approach does not require computation of the position from the ship to the path. Weak and strong nonlinear Lyapunov functions are introduced in the control design to overcome difficulties caused by underactuation and to guarantee boundedness of the sway velocity. Simulations are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Stability of Nonlinear Stochastic Distributed Parameter Systems and Its Applications
Publisher: ASME International
Date: 21-07-2016
DOI: 10.1115/1.4033946
Abstract: This paper derives several well-posedness (existence and uniqueness) and stability results for nonlinear stochastic distributed parameter systems (SDPSs) governed by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) subject to both state-dependent and additive stochastic disturbances. These systems do not need to satisfy global Lipschitz and linear growth conditions. First, the nonlinear SDPSs are transformed to stochastic evolution systems (SESs), which are governed by stochastic ordinary differential equations (SODEs) in appropriate Hilbert spaces, using functional analysis. Second, Lyapunov sufficient conditions are derived to ensure well-posedness and almost sure (a.s.) asymptotic and practical stability of strong solutions. Third, the above results are applied to study well-posedness and stability of the solutions of two exemplary SDPSs.

Path-Tracking Control of Stochastic Quadrotor Aircraft in Three-Dimensional Space
Publisher: ASME International
Date: 10-2015
DOI: 10.1115/1.4030722
Abstract: Despite the fact that environmental loads (forces and moments) induced by wind on quadrotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft consist of both deterministic and stochastic components, all existing works on controlling the aircraft either ignore these loads or treat them as deterministic. This ignorance or treatment deteriorates the control performance in a practical implementation. This paper presents a constructive design of controllers for a quadrotor aircraft to track a reference path in three-dimensional (3D) space under both deterministic and stochastic disturbances. A combination of Euler angles and unit-quaternion for the attitude representation of the aircraft is used to result in an effective control design, and to achieve path-tracking control results. Weak and strong nonlinear Lyapunov functions are introduced to overcome difficulties caused by underactuation and Hessian terms induced by stochastic differentiation rule. To overcome the inherent underactuation of the aircraft, the roll and pitch angles of the aircraft are considered as immediate controls. Potential projection functions are introduced to design estimates of the deterministic components and covariances of the stochastic components. Simulations illustrate the results.

DOI: 10.1115/1.4036071
Abstract: This paper first derives equations of motion of extensible and shearable slender beams with large motions under both deterministic and stochastic external loads. Boundary feedback controllers are then proposed to achieve almost surely globally practically asymptotic stability. The control design, well-posedness, and stability analysis are based on a Lyapunov-type theorem developed for a class of stochastic evolution systems (SESs) in Hilbert space.
