Öznurlu, Can
The focus of this thesis is to control the lateral-directional motion of the fighter aircraft by using integral action based Model Predictive Control (MPC) where the model is obtained by data-driven model discovery method. Dynamic Mode Decomposition with Control (DMDc) is used as a model discovery technique based only on measurement data with no modeling assumptions. The model created using this technique is used for MPC and tested against noisy conditions. In addition, performance comparison of MPC with Classical Controller is carried out. Finally, Speedgoat Unit Real-Time Target Machine®, which offers a real-time esting is used to verify the generated DMDc-MPC algorithm and understand the computational cost. The results show that the DMDc model discovery method performs very well in noisefree situations and meets the evaluation criteria together with MPC. However, its performance decreases in the presence of measurement noise. Finally, real-time test results on Speedgoat® equipment have shown that the generated DMDc-MPC algorithm has low computational cost and can be used in systems with low computational power.

Model Predictive Control for a PUC5 based Dual Output Active Rectifier
Makhamreh, Hamza; Trabelsi, Mohamed; Kukrer, Osman; Abu-Rub, Haitham (2019-01-01)
In this paper, an effective finite-control-set model predictive controller (FCS-MPC) is proposed for an active dual output rectifier. The topology under study is a 5-level packed U cells (PUC5) rectifier. The optimized cost function is designed based on the capacitors' voltages and current errors. The Capacitors' reference voltages and the peak value of the reference grid current are used to normalize the errors within the cost function. The peak value of the current reference is generated by a PI controlle...
Nonlinear modelling and control of the flow over aerofoils using CFD simulations
Karaca, H. D.; Alıcı, Gökçen Deniz; KASNAKOĞLU, Coşku (2016-09-01)
A simulation based approach for nonlinear dynamical modelling and feedback control of the drag to lift ratio for aerofoils is investigated through case studies involving NACA 23012, ag13 and b737a aerofoils. The flow around the aerofoils is studied via numerical solutions of the 2D Navier-Stokes (NS) equations. A standard computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver is extended to be able to measure desired feedback values and to apply a control input to the flow field. The proposed modelling and control appro...

Analytical modeling of asymmetric multi-segment rotor - bearing systems with Timoshenko beam model including gyroscopic moments
Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-11-01)
In this study, analytical modeling and an analysis approach for asymmetric multi-segment rotor bearing systems are presented. Timoshenko beam model which includes the effect of gyroscopic moments is employed for modeling rotor segments. Instead of applying FEM, sub-segment Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are obtained analytically, and sub-segment FRFs obtained are coupled by using receptance coupling method. Bearing properties are included into system dynamics by employing structural modification techni...
