Observer Based Controller for Magnetic Levitation System
This paper explains Magnetic Levitation system of a train which comprises of guidance track made with magnets. The main objective is to design a proper controller that can suspend and propelled the train on a guidance track made with magnets. To perform the desired task state space model of Magnetic Levitation system is derived. The response of the system is simulated in MATLAB. The open loop response showed that the derived model is unstable. Observer Based Controller (OBC) is designed to analyze the system in closed loop. The controller showed improved performance for different tracks. Different types of realization techniques (minimal realization, balanced realization, modal realization, observer canonical realization) are compared for minimum fragility in controller implementation. The difference among the different realization controllers has been analyzed in detail for rounding off error or truncation error and an optimal non fragile controller design has been presented. Different disturbances were imposed upon the simulated model. All the results are analyzed in open and closed loops. The closed loop response showed that the vehicle is suspend and propelled on the track and the desired results were achieved successfully.
Manyetik askılama sistemi için 2 serbestlik dereceli PID kontrolcü tasarımı
In this study, two degree of freedom (2-DOF) PID controllers are designed and compared to the conventional PID controller, which is compatible with the magnetic ball levitation system. This system is a subject of many control problems, because it has a open loop unstable and nonlinear second order structure. The system is modeled based on physical parameters and its linearized around the appropriate equilibrium point via Tylor series expansion. The PID control parameters are determined by the root placement method which is a suitable method for the second order systems and the same parameters are used for the 2-DOF PID. Since this proposed control algorithm has feedforward gain parameters, it is possible to improve the transient state performance according to the traditional PID controller. Due to the use of the conventional PID controller, there are some zeros in the transfer function of the system. It can be seen that proposed technique could prevent the overshoots caused by these zeros.
Accurate measurements of output characteristics and detonations of motorbike high-speed racing engine and their optimization at actual atmospheric conditions and combusted mixture composition
Abstract At a motorbike high speed racing engine there is very important an output engine characteristics which depends significantly on a detonation combustion rate, atmospheric conditions and a combusted mixture composition. The combustion process has got a relevant influence on a wear degree of main engine parts or on their damage eventually. The detonation combustion rate is very important because this kind of burning can be not only destructive but a useful phenomenon, as well. If the process of detonation burning is kept on a certain level, it can help significantly to the next increasing of an engine power output. In this article there is described the measurements of output characteristics of a high-speed racing engine which were performed by means of a data-recording system and the detonation combustion was evaluated using a quantitative method. The actual values of atmospheric conditions and the mixture composition were added to the measured values. Then the obtained values are compared visually with a damage degree of an engine piston caused by the detonation burning. The result is a limit value expressed in a number of detonation units related to a run distance interval of the vehicle driven by the high-speed racing engine. In framework of this run distance interval there is the process of detonation burning profitable. As well as it increases an engine power output and together it is not destructive with regard to engine design parts.
