In this paper, a novel PID gain update law using linear least squares regression is introduced as an adaptive control method for autonomous helicopters. In addition, prediction analysis is conducted for error dynamics of the closed loop system using recursive linear least squares regression. Combining these two concepts with classical PID controller, an intelligent PID controller is obtained. A flight controller with three control loops is developed to demonstrate the capabilities of the controller. Finally, several maneuvers are carried out to investigate the new intelligent controller.

Development of an intelligent model prediction controller for autonomous helicopters
Kubali, Şevket Eser; Yavrucuk, İlkay; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
In this thesis, a new PID gain update law using linear least squares regression is introduced as an adaptive control method for autonomous helicopters. In addition, future prediction analyses are conducted for error dynamics of the closed loop system using recursive linear least squares regression. Combining these two concepts with classical PID controller, an intelligent PID controller is obtained. On the other hand, using PID controllers, a flight controller with three control loops is developed to demons...
Implementation of k-epsilon turbulence models in a two dimensional parallel navier-stokes solver on hybrid grids
Kalkan, Onur Ozan; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
In this thesis, the popular k-ε turbulence model is implemented on a parallel, 2-dimensional, explicit, density-based, finite volume based Navier-Stokes solver works on hybrid grids, HYP2D. Among the other versions available in the open literature, standard version of the k-ε turbulence mode is studied. Launder-Spalding and Chieng-Launder wall functions are adapted to the turbulence model in order to investigate the effects of the strong gradients in the vicinity of the wall on the turbulence. In order to i...

Optimization of Power Conversion Efficiency in Threshold Self-Compensated UHF Rectifiers With Charge Conservation Principle
Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; KOÇER, FATİH; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-01)
This paper presents a compact model for threshold self-compensated rectifiers that can be used to optimize circuit parameters early in the design phase instead of time-consuming transient simulations. A design procedure is presented for finding the optimum aspect ratio of transistors used in the converter and number of rectifying stages to achieve the maximum power conversion efficiency. In the presented analysis, the relation between the power conversion efficiency and the load current over the variation o...
A new likelihood approach to autonomous multiple model estimation
Söken, Halil Ersin (Elsevier BV, 2020-04-01)
This paper presents an autonomous multiple model (AMM) estimation algorithm for hybrid systems with sudden changes in their parameters. Estimates of Kalman filters (KFs) that are tuned and employed for different system modes are merged based on a newly defined likelihood function without any necessity for filter interaction. The proposed likelihood function is composed of two measures, the filter agility measure and the steady-state error measure. These measures are derived based on filter adaptation rules....
