Control design for load reduction on wind turbine system
2011
Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS500 2011 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad The wind power industry is currently the fastest growing renewable energy sector throughout the world. This requires the technical expertise among engineers and researchers in the wind energy field to find technical solutions which do not slow down this process. Since the technology is being developed at such a rapid rate, the industry is facing many challenging problems, especially among systems and control researchers. To ensure an economically competitive wind power production, the trend is to increase the turbine size while at the same time minimize material usage. These factors result in increasing fatigue loads,…

LQG Control Design for Balancing an Inverted Pendulum Mobile Robot
2011
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Intelligent Control and Automation. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ica.2011.22019 The objective of this paper is to design linear quadratic controllers for a system with an inverted pendulum on a mobile robot. To this goal, it has to be determined which control strategy delivers better performance with respect to pendulum’s angle and the robot’s position. The inverted pendulum represents a challenging control problem, since it continually moves toward an uncontrolled state. Simulation study has been done in MATLAB Simulink environment shows that both LQR and LQG are capable to control this system succe…
