Abstract

Purpose

Traditional switching harmonic suppressor design methods require domain experts to adjust design parameters due to various complex performance requirements and practical limitations in switching ripple suppressor designs. The purpose of this paper is to present a method for filter parameter design.

Design/methodology/approach

An improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II) was used in the inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) filter design to find the optimal design parameters, and a method was proposed to handle the constraints by transforming the them into decision variables.

Findings

The performance of the proposed algorithm in parameter designing was verified by simulation on MATLAB and experimental results on hardware-in-the-loop plat-form with StarSim software. The results indicate that the optimization algorithm has a better effect than the traditional expert parameters on each optimization index, especially on the switching harmonic suppression.

Originality/value

The paper presents an improved multi-objective optimization algorithm with ingenious constraints handing to obtain better filter parameters and reduces switching harmonics.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to propose an adaptive fault-tolerant control approach based on output feedback for a class of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles system. In the event of a controlled actuator failure, a stable flying of the aircraft can be achieved by selecting an appropriate sliding mode surface.

Design/methodology/approach

Aiming at the actuator failure of quadrotor aircraft during flight in the controllable range, a dynamic surface sliding mode passive fault-tolerant controller based on output feedback is designed based on the strong robustness of sliding mode method. Due to the unknown nonlinearity dynamics and parameter uncertainties in the system, a nonlinear observer is used to estimate them online.

Findings

The stability of the suggested algorithm is established using appropriate Lyapunov functions, and the performance of the proposed control approach is demonstrated using hardware-in-the-loop simulation.

Originality/value

An error performance function is introduced into the controller to ensure the convergence speed and accuracy of errors are within the predetermined range. By using the norm estimation method, there is only one parameter that needs to be updated in each step of the control process, which considerably minimizes the calculation burden. Finally, the validity of the proposed control scheme is verified on the hardware-in-the-loop simulation, and the results show that the proposed control method has achieved the desired results.
