Control of Systems with Limited Capacity
(2004) In PhD Thesis TFRT-1069- Abstract
- Virtually all real life systems are such that they present some kind of limitation on one or many of its variables, physical quantities. These systems are designated in this thesis as systems with limited capacity. This work is treating control related problems of a subclass of such systems, where the limitation is a critical factor.
The thesis is composed of four parts. The first part is treating the control of tire slip in a braking car. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an important component of a complex steering system for the modern car. In the latest generation of brake-by-wire systems, the controllers have to maintain a specified tire slip for each wheel during braking. This thesis proposes a design model and...

Voltage at the load end of a power system has to be controlled within prescribed tolerances. In case of emergencies such as sudden line failures, this task ca n be very challenging. The main contribution of this chapter is a method for improving the stability properties of the power system by dynamic compensation of the reference load voltage. Moreover, a complete compensation scheme is proposed where load shedding is the secondary control variable. This control scheme is shown to stabilize different power system models.

Alla regler system kan betraktas som system med begränsad kapacitet. Detta arbetet består av fyra delar. Den första delen betraktar reglering av låsningsfria bromsar (ABS). Den andra delen betraktar en tuning metod för PID regulatorer. Den tredje delen beskriver servoproblemet för styckvislinjära system samt en anti-windup syntes metod. Den sista delen beskriver ett spänningstabiitet problem i elkraftsystem.
