An inverted pendulum mounted on a motor-driven cart was introduced in Problem 30 in Chapter 3. Its state-space model was linearized around a stationary point, \(x_0\) = 0 (Prasad, 2012). At the stationary point, the pendulum point-mass, m, is in the upright position at t = 0, and the force applied to the cart, \(u_0\), is 0. Its model was then modified in Problem 55 in Chapter 6 to have two output variables: the pendulum angle relative to the y-axis, \(\theta(t)\), and the horizontal position of the cart, x(t). MATLAB was then used to find its eigenvalues. Noting that only one pole (out of four) is located in the left half of the s-plane, we concluded that this unit requires stabilization. To accomplish stability and design an appropriate control system, do the following: a. Draw a signal-flow diagram for Simulink that unit and use it to develop SL Simulink models for two feedback systems: one to control the cart position, x(t), and the other to control the pendulum angle, \(\theta(t)\). Set the upper and lower saturation limits of the second integrator in the angle 100 p to 100 and -100, respectively, and those limits in the position loop to 10 and -10. b. Use rate feedback with a gain of 12.5 to stabilize the pendulum angle control system. The forward path of each of these systems should include a PD (proportional-plus-derivative) controller that adjusts the force applied to the cart, u(t). These controllers \({ }^3\) may be configured with the following settings: P = 5, I = 0, and D = 5 for the cart position controller P = 2, I = 0, and D = 10 for the pendulum angle controller c. Utilizing scopes to capture the two output responses, use a unit-impulse \({ }^5\) as the reference input in the angle control loop and a unit-step source (configured to start at t = 0 with a final value of 1) as the input for the cart position control loop. d. If either of the responses has a steady state error, \(e(\infty)\) > 2%, a peak time, \(T_P\) > 1.2 seconds, or a percent overshoot, %OS > 20.5%, suggest appropriate changes to its controller settings.

For this specific room, the open-loop transfer function from radiator power, \(\dot{Q}(s)\), to temperature, T(s), is (Thomas, 2005) G(s) = \(\frac{T(s)}{\dot{Q}(s)}=\frac{\left(1 \times 10^{-6}\right) s^2+\left(1.314 \times 10^{-9}\right) s+\left(2.66 \times 10^{-13}\right)}{s^3+0.00163 s^2+\left(5.272 \times 10^{-7}\right) s+\left(3.538 \times 10^{-11}\right)}\) The system is assumed to be in the closed-loop configuration shown in Figure P9.1. a. For a unit step input, calculate the steady-state error of the system. b. Try using the procedure of Section 9.2 to design a PI controller to obtain zero steady-state error for step inputs without appreciably changing the transient response. Then explain why it is not possible to do so. c. Design a PI controller of the form \(G_c(s)\) = \(\frac{K(s+z)}{s}\) that will reduce the step-response error to zero while not changing significantly the transient response.

Figure P9.5 shows a two-tank system. The liquid inflow to the upper tank can be controlled using a valve and is represented by \(F_0\). The upper tank's outflow equals the lower tank's inflow and is represented by \(F_1\). The outflow of the lower tank is \(F_2\). The objective of the design is to control the liquid level, y(t), in the lower tank. The open-loop transmission for this system is \(\frac{Y(s)}{F_o(s)}\) = \(\frac{a_2 a_3}{s^2+\left(a_1+a_4\right) s+a_1 a_4}\) (Romagnoli, 2006).

The controller automatically opens or closes a valve to allow or prevent the flow of steam to change the temperature in the tank. The corresponding block diagram for this system is shown in Figure P9.6(b) (Smith, 2002). Assume the following transfer functions: \(G_v(s)\) = \(\frac{0.02}{4 s+1}\); \(G_1(s)\) = \(\frac{70}{50 s+1}\); H(s) = \(\frac{1}{12 s+1}\) a.

Repeat Problem 47 using a lag-lead compensator instead of a PID controller. Design for a steady-state error of 1% for a step input command.

Digital versatile disc (DVD) players incorporate several control systems for their operations. The control tasks include (1) keeping the laser beam focused on the disc surface, (2) fast track selection, (3) disc rotation speed control, and (4) following a track accurately. In order to follow a track, the pickup-head radial position is controlled via a voltage that operates a voice coil embedded in a magnet configuration. For a specific DVD player, the transfer function is given by P(s) = \(\frac{X(s)}{V(s)}\) = \(\frac{0.63}{\left(1+\frac{0.36}{305.4} s+\frac{s^2}{305.4^2}\right)\left(1+\frac{0.04}{248.2} s+\frac{s^2}{248.2^2}\right)}\) where x(t) = radial pickup position and v(t) = the coil input voltage (Bittanti, 2002). a. Assume that the system will be controlled in a closed-loop configuration, such as the one shown in Figure P9.1. Assuming that the plant, P(s), is cascaded with a proportional compensator, \(G_c(s)\) = K, plot the root locus of the system. b. Repeat Part a using MATLAB if your root locus plot was created by any other tool. c. Find the range of K for closed-loop stability, the resulting damping factor range, and the smallest settling time. d. Design a notch filter compensator so that the system's dominant poles have a damping factor of \(\zeta\) = 0.7 with a closed-loop settling time of 0.1 second. e. Simulate the system’s step response for Part c using MATLAB. f. Add a PI compensator to the system to achieve zero steady-state error for a step input without appreciably affecting the transient response achieved in Part b. g. Simulate the system’s step response for Part e using MATLAB.

A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) measures coordinates on three-dimensional objects. The accuracy of CMMs is affected by temperature changes as well as by mechanical resonances due to joint elasticity. These resonances are more pronounced when the machine has to go over abrupt changes of dimension, such as sharp corners at high speed. Each of the machine links can be controlled in a closed-loop configuration, such as the one shown in Figure P9.12, designed for a specific machine with prismatic (sliding) links. In the figure, \(X_{\text {ref }}(s)\) is the commanded position and X(s) is the actual position. The minor loop uses a tachometer generator to obtain the joint speed, while the main loop controls the joint's position (Özel, 2003). a. Find the value of K that will result in a minor loop with \(\zeta\) = 0.5. b. Use a notch filter compensator, \(G_c(s)\), for the external loop so that it results in a closed-loop damping factor of \(\zeta\) = 0.7 with \(T_s \approx 4\) seconds. c. Use MATLAB to simulate the compensated system’s closed-loop step response

An X-4 quadrotor flyer is designed as a small-sized unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) that flies mainly indoors and can help in search and recognizance missions. To minimize mechanical problems and for simplicity, this aircraft uses fixed pitch rotors with specially designed blades. Therefore, for thrust it is necessary to add a fifth propeller. A simplified design of the thrust control design can be modeled as in Figure P9.1 with G(s) = \(G_c(s) P(s)\) where P(s) = \(\frac{1.90978\left(\frac{s}{0.43}+1\right)}{\left(\frac{s}{9.6}+1\right)\left(\frac{s}{0.54}+1\right)}\) represents the dynamics of the thruster rotor gain, the motor, and the battery dynamics. Initially, the system is designed using a proportional compensator given by \(G_c(s)\) = 3 (Pounds, 2009). a. Calculate the resulting steady-state error for a unit step input. b. Design a lag compensator to yield half the steady state error of the proportional compensator, without appreciably affecting the system’s transient response. c. Use MATLAB to simulate the original design and the lag compensated design. Verify your results.

Problem 8.54 described an ac/dc conversion and power distribution system for which droop control is implemented through the use of a proportional controller to stabilize the dc-bus voltage. For simplification, a system with only one source converter and one load converter was considered. The parameters and design considerations presented in that problem, along with some solution results, allow us to represent the block-diagram of that system as shown in the Figure P9.13. Here \(G_c(\mathrm{~s})\) is the transfer function of the controller, \(G_p(\mathrm{~s})\) represents the forward path of the controlled plant (a conversion and power distribution unit), and H(s) is the transfer function of the feedback low-pass filter (Karlsson, 2003). Prepare a table, such as Table 9.5, where the first column, headed Uncompensated, is filled in with your results from the proportional design of Problem 8.54, assuming an input step, \(v_{d c-r e f}(t)\) = 750 u(t). Follow Steps 2-8 as described in Section 9.4 (Example 9.5), to design a proportional-plus-integral plus-derivative (PID) controller so that the system can operate with a percent overshoot \(\leq 4.4 \%\), a peak time 20% smaller than that of the uncompensated system, and zero steady-state error, \(e_{V \text { step }}(\infty)\) = 0. Fill in the remaining two columns of your table, PD-compensated and PID-compensated.

Testing of hypersonic flight is performed in wind tunnels where maintaining a constant air pressure is important. Air pressure control is accomplished in several stages. For a specific setup, a simplified transfer function has been found to be (Varghese, 2009) \(\frac{P(s)}{M(s)}\) = \(\frac{-2.369 \times 10^6 s^2+7.897 \times 10^7 s+4.21 \times 10^5}{0.015 s^5+0.7802 s^4+9.89 s^3+18.46 s^2+3.377 s+0.01937}\) where M(s) is the stem movement of a valve feeding compressed air into the storage tank, and P(s) is the settling chamber pressure. In order to achieve steady-state error, design a PI controller that operates with a damping factor of 0.4. Compare the characteristics of the uncompensated and compensated systems, and use a computer program to simulate the step response to the compensated system.

A metering pump is a pump capable of delivering a precise flow rate of fluid. Most metering pumps consist of an electric motor that varies the strike length of a shaft, allowing more or less fluid to pass through its body. The control of such a valve has been considered and the open-loop transfer function of the pump was found to be (Yu, 2011) \(\frac{U(s)}{Y(s)}\) = \(\frac{1.869}{s^2+12.32 s+0.4582}\) where the output of the system, Y(s), represents the liquid flow, and the input, U(s), is the command signal to the motor that varies the pump's plunger strike length. a. Design a PID controller to reduce the steady-state error to zero with a maximum 5\% overshoot and a 20% reduction in uncompensated settling time. b. Find the characteristics of the uncompensated system. c. Design a PID controller to reduce the steady-state error to zero; achieve a maximum 5\% overshoot and a 20% reduction in uncompensated settling time. d. Simulate the step response for the compensated system to verify the validity of your design.

A linear model of the \(\alpha\)-subsystem of a grid-connected converter (Mahmood, 2012) with a Y-Y transformer was presented as the plant in Problem 69 in Chapter 8. You were asked to find the transfer function of that plant, \(G_P(s)\) = \(\frac{V_a(s)}{M_a(s)}\) (see Figure P8.20(b)). a. Use the results of your solution to Problem 69, Chapter 8, to write the open-loop transfer function in pole-zero form with a unity gain. Then design a PID controller to yield a zero steady-state error for a step input with an overshoot of less than 10% and a natural frequency of 135.3. b. Plot the time response, c(t), marking on it all relevant characteristics, such as the percent overshoot (if any), rise time, settling time, and final steady-state value. Also find all closed-loop poles of this system and the velocity error constant, \(K_v\). Do you have any observations about the time response and/or the poles?

Design a PID controller for the drive system of Problem 56, Chapter 8, and shown in Figure P8.15 (Thomsen, 2011). Obtain an output response, \(\omega_L(t)\), with an overshoot \(\leq 15 \%\), a settling time of preferably 0.2 second, but not more than 5 seconds, a zero steady-state position error, and a velocity error of < 2%, for a step input, \(\omega_r(t)\) = 260 u(t) rad/sec, applied at t = 0.

Control of HIV/AIDS. It was shown in Chapter 6, Problem 68, that when the virus levels in an HIV/ AIDS patient are controlled using RTIs the linearized plant model is P(s) = \(\frac{Y(s)}{U_1(s)}=\frac{-520 s-10.3844}{s^3+2.6817 s^2+0.11 s+0.0126}\) Assume that the system is embedded in a configuration, such as the one shown in Figure P9.1, where G(s) = \(G_c(s) P(s)\). Here, \(G_c(s)\) is a cascade compensator. For simplicity in this problem, choose the dc gain of \(G_c(s)\) less than zero to obtain a negative feedback system (the negative signs of \(G_c(s)\) and P(s) cancel out) (Craig, I. K., 2004). a. Consider the uncompensated system with \(G_c(s)\) = -K. Find the value of K that will place all closed-loop poles on the real axis. b. Use MATLAB to simulate the unit-step response of the gain-compensated system. Note the %OS and the \(T_s\) from the simulation. c. Design a PI compensator so that the steady-state error for step inputs is zero. Choose a gain value to make all poles real. d. Use MATLAB to simulate the design in Part c for a unit step input. Compare the simulation to Part b.

Hybrid vehicle. In the previous chapter, we used the root locus to design a proportional controller for the speed control of an HEV. We rearranged the block diagram to be a unity feedback system, as shown in the block diagram of Figure P7.31 (Preitl, 2007). The plant and compensator resulted in G(s) = \(\frac{K(s+0.60)}{(s+0.5858)(s+0.0163)}\) and we found that K = 0.78 resulted in a critically damped system. a. Use this design to itemize the performance specifications by filling in a table, similar to Table 9.5, under the column Uncompensated. Take advantage of the results from Chapter 8 or use MATLAB to find the entries. Plot c(t) for r(t) = 4 u(t) volts. Now assume that the system specifications require zero steady-state error for step inputs,a steady-state error for ramp inputs \(\leq\) 2%,a %OS (\leq\) 4.32%,and a settling time (\leq\) 4 sec. It should be evident that this is not accomplished with a proportional controller. Thus, start by designing a PI controller to meet the requirements. If necessary, add a PD mode to get a PID controller. Simulate your final design using MATLAB. Fill in the results of this design in the second column of your table with the heading Compensated. c. Now note the following limitations of linear control system modeling: 1. No limit is set on system variables. For example, vehicle acceleration as well as motor and power amplifier current, torque or power do not have upper limits. 2. It is assumed that to improve the speed of response in Part b, we could place the PI controller’s zero on top of the pole closest to the origin. Realistically, such pole-zero cancellation is not always possible to maintain. If you do not expand your model beyond the described limitations if required for accuracy, unrealistic response characteristics, such as rise and settling times could result. Look at your design results including response curves. Are they realistic? If not,revise your Simulink model,which you developed for Problem 5.79, according to the following 4 steps: i. Represent the motor armature as a first-order system with a unity steady-state gain and a time constant of 50 ms,which avoids the creation of internal algebraic closed-loops and should have negligible effect on system response; ii. Add a saturation element at the output of the motor armature and set it to an upper limit of 250 A; iii. Use the following PI settings. The PI settings of the speed controller are P = 61 and I = 0.795. The PI settings of the torque controller are P = 10 and I = 6; iv. Run the modified model and comment on the graphs obtained for motor current, car acceleration, and speed.

Parabolic trough collector. The parabolic trough collector (Camacho, 2012) is a Type 0 system as can be seen from its transfer function, G(s) = \(\frac{137.2 \times 10^{-6} K}{s^2+0.0224 s+196 \times 10^{-6}} e^{-39 s}\) We want the system operating in the critically damped mode, but with reduced steady-state error. Using the root locus and a Padé approximation, \(e^{-s T} \approx \frac{1-\frac{T}{2} s}{1+\frac{T}{2} s}\), do the following: a. Substitute the Padé approximation for the delay and find the gain necessary to have the system operating with a damping factor, \(\zeta\) = 0.5. Also, find the corresponding steady-state error. b. Design a PI compensator to obtain a zero steady-state error while maintaining \(\zeta\) = 0.5. c. Simulate the resulting design using MATLAB to verify your design.
