A CON: EVO Reduction Technique for Uncertain Interval Systems Using Differential Evolution Algorithm
Abstract: In this paper advantage of evolutionary technique is used in combination with a reliable conventionaltechnique to reduce the dimension of high order uncertain linear interval systems into low order intervalsystems. The proposed technique is depicted by a name CON: EVO, which stands for combination ofconventional & evolutionary technique. In evolutionary method recently proposed Differential Evolution(DE) optimization technique is used with and without powerful conventional Routh approximation techniqueto minimize the integral …

A Sliding Mode Control with a PID Sliding Surface for Power Output Maximizing of a Wind Turbine
Abstract: The wind energy has many advantages, it does not pollute and it is an inexhaustible source. However, thecost of this energy is still too high to compete with traditional fossil fuels, especially on the less windy sites.The performance of a wind turbine depends mainly on three parameters: the power of the wind, the powercurve of the turbine and the generator’s ability to respond to the wind fluctuations. This article proposes …

Controller Performance Assessment (CPA) of Intelligent Control for Non-linear System
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to design and undertake comparative analysis of classical and intelligentcontrollers for nonlinear system. These controllers are compared based on controller performanceassessment in which the different parameters as overshoot, steady-state error, rise time, settling time,response of reference change and output variance are analyzed. To achieve these objectives, the water tankcontrol problem as nonlinear system has been built in Simulink and implementations traditionally classicalcontroller and advance …

MODELING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF LABVIEW BASED NONLINEAR PICONTROLLER FOR A CONICAL TANK
Abstract: The control of liquid level in tank is a basic problem in process industries. The conical tank level process isconsidered to be a non-linear process. The control of conical tank is presenting a challenging problem dueto its non-linearity. The modeling aspect of conical tank is discussed in this paper. The piecewise response ofthe system is studied and the gain and time constants for the different regions were tabulated. A structure …

RFID BASED PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT OF IMMOBILIZER FOR TWO WHEELER VEHICLE SECURITY
Abstract: An immobilizer is an electronic device fitted to an automobile which prevents the engine from running unlessthe vehicle has the proper access to it. The main use of this system is to protect the vehicle from being stealthas it deactivates the engine. The immobilizer security system is mainly seen in four wheeler vehicles. Thesame idea can be implemented for 2 wheeler vehicles which are in huge number in countries like …

Speed Control of Electric Drives Using Soft Computing Techniques
Abstract: The speed control of electric drives is a challenging engineering problem. The direct torque control (DTC)method is characterized by its simple implementation and a fast dynamic response. Soft computingtechniques, viz., fuzzy control are ways for controlling a system without the need of mathematical model. Ituses the experience of people’s knowledge to form its control rule base. There are two techniques to controlthe speed of electrical drives. The traditional technique uses …

Wavelet based Adaptive Sliding Mode Control for Discrete Time Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of a wavelet based adaptive sliding mode control strategy for a classof discrete time uncertain nonlinear systems. An adaptive sliding mode control is utilized to assure the stabletracking of uncertain nonlinear system under consideration. Wavelet neural network (WNN) is used to mimicthe uncertainties present in the system. Proposed scheme is derived to guaranty the necessary and sufficientreaching condition for sliding mode control in presence …
