The design of different attitude controllers by using reaction wheels and magnetic rods as torque sources and the design of a multi-sensor integrated navigation system are developed for a three-axis stabilized Earth-orbiting microsatellite and presented in this thesis. Firstly, the fundamental parameters relevant to satellite attitude determination are presented, such as attitude sensors and actuators, space environmental effects, coordinate frames, satellite dynamic/kinematic equations with control components. These parameters are also used to set satellite linear and nonlinear mathematical models. Reaction wheels and magnetic torque rods are used to generate the required control torque for the purpose of providing attitude control. The momentum dumping effects of magnetic rods are also implemented to mathematical models and controlled by the help of Earth Magnetic Field. Kalman Filter based attitude estimations with PID, LQR and SMC controllers were designed to support satellite orientation with respect to a given reference attitude. In addition to these controllers, a feedback controller is also designed for stabilizing the satellite angular velocity after separating from launcher. Simulating of multi-sensor navigation sensors, satellite mathematical model and controller models under various internal and external disturbances and measurement noises are carried out by means of MATLAB/Simulink software tool. The results obtained from the simulations with related approaches were compared and analyzed.

This study presents the design and implementation of a spatial H-infinity controller for the active vibration control of a cantilevered smart beam. The smart beam consists of a passive aluminum beam (507x51x2mm) and eight symmetrically surface bonded SensorTech BM500 type PZT (Lead-Zirconate-Titanate) patches (25x20x0.5mm). PZT patches are used as actuators and a laser displacement sensor is used as sensor. The smart beam was analytically modelled by using the assumed-modes method. The model only included t...

Adaptive Nonlinear Control Combined With Unscented Kalman Filter for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Fed by AC/DC/AC Converter
Titaouine, A.; Taibi, D.; Bennis, O.; Benchabane, F.; Boumaraf, R.; Yahia, K. (2011-09-10)
In this paper, a adaptive non-linear controller is presented for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) sensorless drives. The adaptive non-linear controller is designed based on an input-output feedback linearization control technique. The unscented Kalman filter is used to estimate the speed, position and load torque. The PMSM is fed by an indirect power electronics converter. This indirect converter is controlled by a sliding mode technique that enables minimization of harmonics introduced by the line...
Evaluation of a 6 pole axial flux PM motor for Control Moment Gyroscope Application
Zeinali, Raza; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent (2015-09-04)
In a previous study a compact Control Moment Gyroscope (GMC) design, based on a 6-pole, axial flux (AF) motor was presented. The GMC design in that proposal was based on analytical expressions and naturally 3-D structure of the AF motor could not be fully taken into account. In this paper the designed motor is simulated using 3-D FEM solutions. The parameters of the design such as electric loading and current loading as well as the performance of the design such as phase current and the torque produced at 1...

In this paper, design methodology and simulation results of an active yaw control system For road vehicles arc presented. The main objectives of the yaw control system arc to estimate the desired yaw behaviour of file vehicle according to the demand of file driver by means of a two degree-of-freedom vehicle model and track this desired yaw rate while considering vehicle steerability parameters. Based on vehicle yaw rate error and vehicle sideslip angle, the controller system applies brake torques to individ...
