The techniques of Taylor polynomial approximation (TPA) and adaptive passivity-based controller (APBC) are combined in this study and applied to the level regulation of a conical tank. The design and comparative experimental ...

A Lyapunov design of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) model-reference adaptive control (MRAC) systems is proposed using new generalized passivity concepts based on WSPR and WASPR properties. The new design avoids ...

A passivity-based nonlinear controller for a three-phase front end converter used for connection of renewable energy sources to the grid is presented in this paper. The control objectives are to inject all the generated ...

In this paper, fractional order (FO) operators and adaptive passivity-based controllers (APBC) are combined. The main aim is to explore possible advantages of combining FO operators and APBC over the use of integer order ...

Hybrid active-passive damping treatments combine the reliability, low cost and robustness of viscoelastic damping treatments and the high-performance, modal selective and adaptive piezoelectric active control. Numerous ...

An analysis of a new energy harvester model is presented, based on a simple portal frame structure, considered a nonideal system due to the kind of excitation influenced by the response of the system, such as a direct ...

This paper presents an application of a passive control strategy in a base-excited two-degrees-of-freedom portal frame support structure considering extract energy using a piezoelectric material coupled to a column. The ...

O setor residencial é um dos principais setores responsáveis pelo elevado consumo energético e consequente emissões de gases com efeito estufa, no Brasil, e no mundo. Com a finalidade de que os edifícios sejam de consumo ...

This work presents a passive control strategy using a pendulum on a simple portal frame structure, with two-to-one internal resonance, with a piezoelectric material coupling as a means of energy harvesting. In addition, ...
