    Output Feedback FTC Scheme For Linear Parameter
    (Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2016) Izhar Ul Haq; , FA13-MSEE-006; Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 6820
    The proposed research has been carried out for an Active Fault Tolerant Control (FTC) of Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems using output feedback mechanism. Output feedback is a practical approach due to the fact that all the plant states are not accessible or measurable, therefore estimating the unknown states and maintaining the closed loop stability in an LPV framework is closer to the control of nonlinear systems. At the same time, it utilizes the mature nature of linear control theory. In this research, LPV observers in LMI framework have been designed for affine LPV plant, using two different LPV approaches namely affine and polytopic, in order to estimate the unknown states. These estimated states are used as a feedback to LPV controller. Integral sliding mode controller in LPV framework has been designed along with control allocation scheme to control the controlled states as well as to counter for actuators faults and failures. It has been assumed that Fault Detection and Isolation unit, also called FDI, is providing updated actuator faults or failures information to the control allocation (CA) scheme. Detailed performance and stability of the proposed control scheme has been checked in fault-free case, i.e. nominal condition, as well as in the situation when actuator fault occurs. To validate the proposed output feedback FTC mechanism, an LPV model of longitudinal plant of aircraft, taken from the literature, has been considered as a benchmark in the simulation. The simulation results show that the system is quadratically stable and give good tracking capability by the LPV controller-observer pair in nominal as well as in actuator’s fault or failure situation.

    To Design Hybrid AC-DC Droop Controller For Load
    (Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2019) Ahsan Nadeem,; FA15-REE-001; Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 6849
    In the 21st century there are several issues with the current electrical power system, such as production of green house gasses and losses (transmission line and conversion losses) that reduced the efficiency of power system. Currently, DC load demand of applications, such as telecom exchange networking system and electric vehicles (EVs) are increasing. In conventional power system, these loads are connected to main grid through converters. Moreover, diesel generators based backup solutions for telecom exchanges have several disadvantages, such as non-reliable starting of generator in cold weather conditions, maintenance of the generator, and exhaustive fumes. Furthermore, in recent times the use of EVs is increasing rapidly and now work place required to have own EV fast charging docking stations; therefore, in our simulation we consider the DC load of employees EVs along with the DC load of telecom exchange. A hybrid AC-DC micro-grid based on distributed generations is proposed as a suitable solution to reduce the multiple reverse conversions within the telecom exchange. For hybrid AC-DC micro-grid, we develop a droop controlled scheme that manage the power flow between AC and DC electrical networks by enforcing the normalized value of frequency equal to the normalized value of voltage of DC micro-grid. The controller provides, need based power sharing between AC and DC grids and enhance operational reliability of the network. The hybrid AC-DC micro-grid presented in this report is an effective solution to eliminate the excessive voltage conversion problem of telecom exchanges along with an efficient fast charging system for the EVs.

    Model Identification And Control Of A Lab Based
    (Publisher COMSATS University Islambad Lahore Campus, 2018) Anila Barkat,; FA14-REE-011; Dr. Mirza Tariq Hamayun, Assistant Profesor [Supervisor]; LHR TP 6847
    Inverted pendulum control system has vast applications in the field of control system. Every system which is inherently unstable can be controlled like inverted pendulum is controlled. To design a Robust Control system for Inverted pendulum to investigate the behaviour of rapid change in scheduled parameters is aim of this thesis. The designed mechanism has a monitoring and calibrating VI (Virtual Instrument) which is constructed in LabVIEW. This VI send a step input to the inverted pendulum and obtain the transient response of the system from that response system’s model is identified. This model helped in control designing part because model of every system represents its characteristic. Then LPV controller is designed to cater for the parameters variations to enhance the performance and robustness. Moreover, the designed robust controller is implemented on the hardware platform to show its effectiveness. The identified mathematical model is validated by comparing the simulation and real time simulation results with LQR and PID controller.
