In this paper, we solve the problem of rejecting a harmonic disturbance containing unknown frequencies and bias entering a linear hyperbolic system of 1-D partial differential equations at one boundary, using boundary sensing and actuation anticollocated with the disturbance. By combining a full state feedback controller with an adaptive observer that estimates system states and the disturbance's ... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2017, Page(s):1961 - 1977
| | PDF (2564 KB) | HTML

We address the problem of frequency regulation in islanded ac microgrids with no inertia, i.e., those consisting entirely of generators interfaced through power electronics. The control architecture we propose to achieve this is designed to drive the average frequency error to zero while ensuring that the frequency at every bus is equal and that the operating point that results is stable. We also ... View full abstract»

A conventional disturbance observer (DOB)-based control system is a model-based control system. In this paper, a data-driven design method is proposed for the DOB-based control system using iteration feedback tuning (IFT) based on the first-order-plus-time-delay models. It is well known that the conventional data-based design methods cannot provide an explicit tradeoff between robustness and perfo... View full abstract»
