This paper presents a state of charge (SOC) estimation method based on fractional order sliding mode observer (SMO) for lithium-ion batteries. A fractional order RC equivalent circuit model (FORCECM) is firstly constructed to describe the charging and discharging dynamic characteristics of the battery. Then, based on the differential equations of the FORCECM, fractional order SMOs for SOC, polarization voltage and terminal voltage estimation are designed. After that, convergence of the proposed observers is analyzed by Lyapunov’s stability theory method. The framework of the designed observer system is simple and easy to implement. The SMOs can overcome the uncertainties of parameters, modeling and measurement errors, and present good robustness. Simulation results show that the presented estima- tion method is effective, and the designed observers have good performance.

The paper presents the application of a dual active bridge DC-DC converter for a smart user network that is a microgrid with a DC-powered local network (or DC bus). In such a microgrid the DC-DC converter connects a battery energy storage system to the DC bus. In a previous paper, the authors demonstrated that the DC-DC converter is able to assure a stable DC bus voltage to a reference value; performance was evaluated by means of numerical experiment using Simplorer. In this paper the DC-DC converter is further investigated using a 400W laboratory model of a smart user network; the laboratory results demonstrate that the converter provides a high level of reliability and resilience against disturbances.

Abstract In any electrical system, due to overvoltage or over current line--ground fault, line to line fault, line-line-line fault and line-line-line-ground faults occur. The electrical substation is supply the power to the consumers means industries or domestic can have failures due to any of the fault which can be temporary or permanent. These faults lead to damage to the power system equipment. In this work, effort has made to design an reclosing mechanism in case of permanent or temporary fault. The TimerIc-555 has been used to give the time duration of fault. Circuit breaker is used for disconnecting the line at fault instant and connecting on clearance of fault. Reclosing mechanism resets the supply line after small interruption in the event of temporary fault or it remains in tripped condition in case of permanent fault.

Quick and effective battery charging is critical for battery powered vehicles. This paper describes a multilevel charging technique for Li ion batteries used in electric vehicle applications. Instead of a single constant current level, five constant current levels are used to quickly charge the battery. A DC DC converter is used as a current source in the charging circuit for safe and efficient charging. The precise calculation of state of charge SoC is used as an input to enforce the above optimal battery charging technique. The SoC is calculated using a hybrid method that incorporates both the Open Circuit Voltage OCV and Coulomb integral methods. To estimate battery parameters, the Simulink Design Optimization SDO tool is used. The simulations are performed using MATLAB. The difference between the inbuilt battery SoC estimation method and the updated coulomb counting system in terms of SoC estimation is less than 2 .

Prediction of li ion battery discharge characteristics at different temperatu...eSAT Journals
Abstract State of charge (SOC) is an important battery parameter which provides a good indication of the useful capacity that can be derived out of a battery system at any given point of time. Li-ion has become state of the art technology for commercial and aerospace applications due to the various advantages that they offer. For spacecrafts requiring long lifetime, SOC estimation is crucial for on-orbit as well as offline data analysis. On-orbit estimation of SOC should be carefully addressed, as this provides information on survivability of battery and also serves as input to Battery Management System (BMS). In addition, detailed offline data analysis of battery electrical characteristics, which indicate the SOC-Voltage relationship is important to assess the performance of the battery under various mission scenarios at both Beginning of life (BOL) and End of Life (EOL) of a spacecraft system. In this work, a hybrid SOC estimation method, incorporating coulomb counting and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is used, to predict the BOL discharge behaviour of an 18650 commercial Li-ion cell at different temperatures and discharge rates. The experimental results are encouraging and the approach gives a prediction error of less than 10%. The study will serve as basis for life assessment of Li-ion cells and batteries used for GEO and LEO missions. Key Words: Li-ion, State of Charge, Unscented Kalman Filter etc…
Reduce state of charge estimation errors with an extended Kalman filter algor...IJECEIAES
Li-ion batteries (LiBs) are accurately estimated under varying operating conditions and external influences using extended Kalman filtering (EKF). Estimating the state of charge (SOC) is essential for enhancing battery efficiency, though complexities and unpredictability present obstacles. To address this issue, the paper proposes a second-order resistance-capacitance (RC) battery model and derives the EKF algorithm from it. The EKF approach is chosen for its ability to handle complex battery behaviors. Through extensive evaluation using a Simulink MATLAB program, the proposed EKF algorithm demonstrates remarkable accuracy and robustness in SOC estimation. The root mean square error (RMSE) analysis shows that SOC estimation errors range from only 0.30% to 2.47%, indicating substantial improvement over conventional methods. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of an EKF-based approach in overcoming external influences and providing precise SOC estimations to optimize battery management. In addition to enhancing battery performance, the results of the study may lead to the development of more reliable energy storage systems in the future. This will contribute to the wider adoption of LiBs in various applications.
A robust state of charge estimation for multiple models of lead acid battery ...journalBEEI
An accurate estimation technique of the state of charge (SOC) of batteries is an essential task of the battery management system. The adaptive Kalman filter (AEKF) has been used as an obsever to investigate the SOC estimation effectiveness. Therefore, The SOC is a reflexion of the chemistry of the cell which it is the key parameter for the battery management system. It is very complex to monitor the SOC and control the internal states of the cell. Three battery models are proposed and their state space models have been established, their parameters were identified by applying the least square method. However, the SOC estimation accuracy of the battery depends on the model and the efficiency of the algorithm. In this paper, AEKF technique is presented to estimate the SOC of Lead acid battery. The experimental data is used to identify the parameters of the three models and used to build different open circuit voltage–state of charge (OCV-SOC) functions relationship. The results shows that the SOC estimation based-model which has been built by hight order RC model can effectively limit the error, hence guaranty the accuracy and robustness.
Particle swarm optimization-based stator resistance observer for speed sensor...IJECEIAES
This paper presents a different technique for the online stator resistance estimation using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based algorithm for rotor flux oriented control schemes of induction motor drives without a rotor speed sensor. First, a conventional proportional-integral controller-based stator resistance estimation technique is used for a speed sensorless control scheme with two different model reference adaptive system (MRAS) concepts. Finally, a novel method for the stator resistance estimation based on the PSO algorithm is presented for the two MRAS-type observers. Simulation results in the Matlab/Simulink environment show good adaptability of the proposed estimation model while the stator resistance is varied to 200% of the nominal value. The results also confirm more accurate stator resistance and rotor speed estimation in comparison with the conventional technique.
This paper aims to provide a high performance sensorless control based on an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) applied to fault-tolerant PMSM drive system with stator-resistance estimation. It proposes a fast method of fault switches detection in the power converters. The considered drive is composed of three phases PMSM and a four leg three phase’s inverter when the fourth is the redundant leg. After a short-switch fault occurrence, the redundant leg replaces the faulty leg. The simulation results verify that the proposed control method and the fault tolerant inverter ensure the high reliability and continuously operation of the sensorless vector control PMSM system under inverter fault.
Experimental Evaluation of Torque Performance of Voltage and Current Models u...IJPEDS-IAES
In this paper, two kinds of observers are proposed to investigate torque estimation. The first one is based on a voltage model represented with a low- pass filter (LPF); which is normally used as a replacement for a pure integrator to avoid integration drift problem due to dc offset or measurement error. The second estimator used is an extended Kalman filter (EKF) as a current model, which puts into account all noise problems. Both estimation algorithms are investigated during the steady and transient states, tested under light load, and then compared with the measured mechanical torque. In all conditions, it will be shown that the torque estimation error for EKF has remained within narrower error band and yielded minimum torque ripples when compared to LPF estimation. This motivates the use of EKF observer in high performance control drives of induction machines for achieving improved torque response.

This paper presents a methodology based on two interrelated rapid prototyping pro- cesses in order to find the best correspondence between theoretical, simulated, and experimental results of a power converter controlled by a digital PWM. The method supplements rapid control prototyping (RCP) with effective math tools to quickly select and validate models of a controlled system. We show stability analysis of the classical and two modified buck converter models controlled by zero average dynamics (ZAD) and fixed-point induction control (FPIC). The methodology consists of obtaining the mathematical representation of power converters with the controllers and the Lyapunov Exponents (LEs). Besides, the theoretical results are compared with the simulated and experimental results by means of one- and two-parameter bifurcation diagrams. The responses of the three models are compared by changing the parameter (K ) of the ZAD and the parameter (N) of the FPIC. The results show that the stability zones, periodic orbits, periodic bands, and chaos are obtained for the three models, finding more similarities between theoretical, simulated, and experimental tests with the third model of the buck converter with ZAD and FPIC as it considers more parameters related to the losses in different elements of the system. Additionally, the intervals of the chaos are obtained by using the LEs and validated by numerical and experimental tests. s

The stator current control loop plays an important role in ensuring the quality of electric drives interm of producing fast and adequate required torque. When the current controller provides ideal responses, speed control design subsequently is in charge of improving the system performances. Classical PID control is commonly used in current loop design, this paper presents the comparative analysis of current stator controller using proportional integral control and predictive current control (PCC) in field-oriented control-based induction motor drives, with rigidly coupled loads. The experimental results show system responses with PID and PCC. Informative experiment-based analysis provides primary guidance in selection between the two controls.

An optimal general type-2 fuzzy controller for Urban Traffic NetworkISA Interchange
Urban traffic network model is illustrated by state-charts and object-diagram. However, they have limitations to show the behavioral perspective of the traffic information flow. Consequently, a state space model is used to calculate the half-value waiting time of vehicles. In this study, a combination of the general type-2 fuzzy logic sets and the modified backtracking search algorithm (MBSA) techniques are used in order to control the traffic signal scheduling and phase succession so as to guarantee a smooth flow of traffic with the least wait times and average queue length. The parameters of input and output membership functions are optimized simultaneously by the novel heuristic algorithm MBSA. A comparison is made between the achieved results with those of optimal and conventional type-1 fuzzy logic controllers.
Embedded intelligent adaptive PI controller for an electromechanical systemISA Interchange
In this study, an intelligent adaptive controller approach using the interval type-2 fuzzy neural network (IT2FNN) is presented. The proposed controller consists of a lower level proportional - integral (PI) controller, which is the main controller and an upper level IT2FNN which tuning on-line the parameters of a PI controller. The proposed adaptive PI controller based on IT2FNN (API-IT2FNN) is implemented practically using the Arduino DUE kit for controlling the speed of a nonlinear DC motor-generator system. The parameters of the IT2FNN are tuned on-line using back-propagation algorithm. The Lyapunov theorem is used to derive the stability and convergence of the IT2FNN. The obtained experimental results, which are compared with other controllers, demonstrate that the proposed API-IT2FNN is able to improve the system response over a wide range of system uncertainties.
Fractional order PID for tracking control of a parallel robotic manipulator t...ISA Interchange
This paper presents the tracking control for a robotic manipulator type delta employing fractional order PID controllers with computed torque control strategy. It is contrasted with an integer order PID controller with computed torque control strategy. The mechanical structure, kinematics and dynamic models of the delta robot are descripted. A SOLIDWORKS/MSC-ADAMS/MATLAB co-simulation model of the delta robot is built and employed for the stages of identification, design, and validation of control strategies. Identification of the dynamic model of the robot is performed using the least squares algorithm. A linearized model of the robotic system is obtained employing the computed torque control strategy resulting in a decoupled double integrating system. From the linearized model of the delta robot, fractional order PID and integer order PID controllers are designed, analyzing the dynamical behavior for many evaluation trajectories. Controllers robustness is evaluated against external disturbances employing performance indexes for the joint and spatial error, applied torque in the joints and trajectory tracking. Results show that fractional order PID with the computed torque control strategy has a robust performance and active disturbance rejection when it is applied to parallel robotic manipulators on tracking tasks.
Fuzzy logic for plant-wide control of biological wastewater treatment process...ISA Interchange
The application of control strategies is increasingly used in wastewater treatment plants with the aim of improving effluent quality and reducing operating costs. Due to concerns about the progressive growth of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), these are also currently being evaluated in wastewater treatment plants. The present article proposes a fuzzy controller for plant-wide control of the biological wastewater treatment process. Its design is based on 14 inputs and 6 outputs in order to reduce GHG emissions, nutrient concentration in the effluent and operational costs. The article explains and shows the effect of each one of the inputs and outputs of the fuzzy controller, as well as the relationship between them. Benchmark Simulation Model no 2 Gas is used for testing the proposed control strategy. The results of simulation results show that the fuzzy controller is able to reduce GHG emissions while improving, at the same time, the common criteria of effluent quality and operational costs.

In recent years, interest for petrochemical processes has been increasing, especially in refinement area. However, the high variability in the dynamic characteristics present in the atmospheric distillation column poses a challenge to obtain quality products. To improve distillates quality in spite of the changes in the input crude oil composition, this paper details a new design of a control strategy in a conventional crude oil distillation plant defined using formal interaction analysis tools. The process dynamic and its control are simulated on Aspen HYSYS dynamic environment under real operating conditions. The simulation results are compared against a typical control strategy commonly used in crude oil atmospheric distillation columns.
Model based PI power system stabilizer design for damping low frequency oscil...ISA Interchange
This paper explores a two-level control strategy by blending a local controller with a centralized controller for the low frequency oscillations in a power system. The proposed control scheme provides stabilization of local modes using a local controller and minimizes the effect of inter-connection of sub-systems performance through a centralized control. For designing the local controllers in the form of proportional-integral power system stabilizer (PI-PSS), a simple and straight forward frequency domain direct synthesis method is considered that works on use of a suitable reference model which is based on the desired requirements. Several examples both on one machine infinite bus and multi-machine systems taken from the literature are illustrated to show the efficacy of the proposed PI-PSS. The effective damping of the systems is found to be increased remarkably which is reflected in the time-responses; even unstable operation has been stabilized with improved damping after applying the proposed controller. The proposed controllers give remarkable improvement in damping the oscillations in all the illustrations considered here and as for example, the value of damping factor has been increased from 0.0217 to 0.666 in Example 1. The simulation results obtained by the proposed control strategy are favorably compared with some controllers prevalent in the literature.
A comparison of a novel robust decentralized control strategy and MPC for ind...ISA Interchange
Abstract: In this work we have developed a novel, robust practical control structure to regulate an industrial methanol distillation column. This proposed control scheme is based on a override control framework and can manage a non-key trace ethanol product impurity specification while maintaining high product recovery. For comparison purposes, an MPC with a discrete process model (based on step tests) was also developed and tested. The results from process disturbance testing shows that, both the MPC and the proposed controller were capable of maintaining both the trace level ethanol specification in the distillate (XD) and high product recovery (β). Closer analysis revealed that the MPC controller has a tighter XD control, while the proposed controller was tighter in β control. The tight XD control allowed the MPC to operate at a higher XD set point (closer to the 10 ppm AA grade methanol standard), allowing for savings in energy usage. Despite the energy savings of the MPC, the proposed control scheme has lower installation and running costs. An economic analysis revealed a multitude of other external economic and plant design factors, that should be considered when making a decision between the two controllers. In general, we found relatively high energy costs favor MPC.
Fault detection of feed water treatment process using PCA-WD with parameter o...ISA Interchange
Feed water treatment process (FWTP) is an essential part of utility boilers; and fault detection is expected for its reliability improvement. Classical principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to FWTPs in our previous work; however, the noises of T2 and SPE statistics result in false detections and missed detections. In this paper, Wavelet denoise (WD) is combined with PCA to form a new algorithm, (PCA- WD), where WD is intentionally employed to deal with the noises. The parameter selection of PCA-WD is further formulated as an optimization problem; and PSO is employed for optimization solution. A FWTP, sustaining two 1000 MW generation units in a coal-fired power plant, is taken as a study case. Its operation data is collected for following verification study. The results show that the optimized WD is effective to restrain the noises of T2 and SPE statistics, so as to improve the performance of PCA-WD algorithm. And, the parameter optimization enables PCA-WD to get its optimal parameters in an auto- matic way rather than on individual experience. The optimized PCA-WD is further compared with classical PCA and sliding window PCA (SWPCA), in terms of four cases as bias fault, drift fault, broken line fault and normal condition, respectively. The advantages of the optimized PCA-WD, against classical PCA and SWPCA, is finally convinced with the results.
Model-based adaptive sliding mode control of the subcritical boiler-turbine s...ISA Interchange
As higher requirements are proposed for the load regulation and efficiency enhancement, the control performance of boiler-turbine systems has become much more important. In this paper, a novel robust control approach is proposed to improve the coordinated control performance for subcritical boiler-turbine units. To capture the key features of the boiler-turbine system, a nonlinear control-oriented model is established and validated with the history operation data of a 300 MW unit. To achieve system linearization and decoupling, an adaptive feedback linearization strategy is proposed, which could asymptotically eliminate the linearization error caused by the model uncertainties. Based on the linearized boiler-turbine system, a second-order sliding mode controller is designed with the super-twisting algorithm. Moreover, the closed-loop system is proved robustly stable with respect to uncertainties and disturbances. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, which achieves excellent tracking performance, strong robustness and chattering reduction.
A Proportional Integral Estimator-Based Clock Synchronization Protocol for Wi...ISA Interchange
Clock synchronization is an issue of vital importance in applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This paper proposes a proportional integral estimator-based protocol (EBP) to achieve clock synchronization for wireless sensor networks. As each local clock skew gradually drifts, synchronization accuracy will decline over time. Compared with existing consensus-based approaches, the proposed synchronization protocol improves synchronization accuracy under time-varying clock skews. Moreover, by restricting synchronization error of clock skew into a relative small quantity, it could reduce periodic re-synchronization frequencies. At last, a pseudo-synchronous implementation for skew compensation is introduced as synchronous protocol is unrealistic in practice. Numerical simulations are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed protocol.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to improve the classification accuracy of the flow pattern of gas/ liquid two- phase flow using fuzzy logic and Support Vector Machine (SVM) with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The videos of six different types of flow patterns namely, annular flow, bubble flow, churn flow, plug flow, slug flow and stratified flow are re- corded for a period and converted to 2D images for processing. The textural and shape features extracted using image processing are applied as inputs to various classification schemes namely fuzzy logic, SVM and SVM with PCA in order to identify the type of flow pattern. The results obtained are compared and it is observed that SVM with features reduced using PCA gives the better classification accuracy and computationally less intensive than other two existing schemes. This study results cover industrial application needs including oil and gas and any other gas-liquid two-phase flows.
New Method for Tuning PID Controllers Using a Symmetric Send-On-Delta Samplin...ISA Interchange
In this paper we present a new method for tuning PI controllers with symmetric send-on-delta (SSOD) sampling strategy. First we analyze the conditions that produce oscillations in event based systems considering SSOD sampling strategy. The Describing Function is the tool used to address the problem. Once the conditions for oscillations are established, a new robustness to oscillation performance measure is introduced which entails with the concept of phase margin, one of the most traditional measures of relative stability in closed-loop control systems. Therefore, the application of the proposed robustness measure is easy and intuitive. The method is tested by both simulations and experiments. Additionally, a Java application has been developed to aid in the design according to the results presented in the paper.
Load estimator-based hybrid controller design for two-interleaved boost conve...ISA Interchange
This paper is devoted to the development of a hybrid controller for a two-interleaved boost converter dedicated to renewable energy and automotive applications. The control requirements, resumed in fast transient and low input current ripple, are formulated as a problem of fast stabilization of a predefined optimal limit cycle, and solved using hybrid automaton formalism. In addition, a real time estimation of the load is developed using an algebraic approach for online adjustment of the hybrid controller. Mathematical proofs are provided with simulations to illustrate the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed controller despite different disturbances. Furthermore, a fuel cell system supplying a resistive load through a two-interleaved boost converter is also highlighted.
Effects of Wireless Packet Loss in Industrial Process Control SystemsISA Interchange
Timely and reliable sensing and actuation control are essential in networked control. This depends on not only the precision/quality of the sensors and actuators used but also on how well the communications links between the field instruments and the controller have been designed. Wireless networking offers simple deployment, reconfigurability, scalability, and reduced operational expenditure, and is easier to upgrade than wired solutions. However, the adoption of wireless networking has been slow in industrial process control due to the stochastic and less than 100% reliable nature of wireless communications and lack of a model to evaluate the effects of such communications imperfections on the overall control performance. In this paper, we study how control performance is affected by wireless link quality, which in turn is adversely affected by severe propagation loss in harsh industrial environments, co-channel interference, and unintended interference from other devices. We select the Tennessee Eastman Challenge Model (TE) for our study. A decentralized process control system, first proposed by N. Ricker, is adopted that employs 41 sensors and 12 actuators to manage the production process in the TE plant. We consider the scenario where wireless links are used to periodically transmit essential sensor measurement data, such as pressure, temperature and chemical composition to the controller as well as control commands to manipulate the actuators according to predetermined setpoints. We consider two models for packet loss in the wireless links, namely, an independent and identically distributed (IID) packet loss model and the two-state Gilbert-Elliot (GE) channel model. While the former is a random loss model, the latter can model bursty losses. With each channel model, the performance of the simulated decentralized controller using wireless links is compared with the one using wired links providing instant and 100% reliable communications. The sensitivity of the controller to the burstiness of packet loss is also characterized in different process stages. The performance results indicate that wireless links with redundant bandwidth reservation can meet the requirements of the TE process model under normal operational conditions. When disturbances are introduced in the TE plant model, wireless packet loss during transitions between process stages need further protection in severely impaired links. Techniques such as re-transmission scheduling, multi-path routing and enhanced physical layer design are discussed and the latest industrial wireless protocols are compared.
Fault Detection in the Distillation Column ProcessISA Interchange
Chemical plants are complex large-scale systems which need designing robust fault detection schemes to ensure high product quality, reliability and safety under different operating conditions. The present paper is concerned with a feasibility study of the application of the black-box modeling method and Kullback Leibler divergence (KLD) to the fault detection in a distillation column process. A Nonlinear Auto-Regressive Moving Average with eXogenous input (NARMAX) polynomial model is firstly developed to estimate the nonlinear behavior of the plant. Furthermore, the KLD is applied to detect abnormal modes. The proposed FD method is implemented and validated experimentally using realistic faults of a distillation plant of laboratory scale. The experimental results clearly demonstrate the fact that proposed method is effective and gives early alarm to operators.
Neural Network-Based Actuator Fault Diagnosis for a Non-Linear Multi-Tank SystemISA Interchange
The paper is devoted to the problem of the robust actuator fault diagnosis of the dynamic non-linear systems. In the proposed method, it is assumed that the diagnosed system can be modelled by the recurrent neural network, which can be transformed into the linear parameter varying form. Such a system description allows developing the designing scheme of the robust unknown input observer within H1 framework for a class of non-linear systems. The proposed approach is designed in such a way that a prescribed disturbance attenuation level is achieved with respect to the actuator fault estimation error, while guaranteeing the convergence of the observer. The application of the robust unknown input observer enables actuator fault estimation, which allows applying the developed approach to the fault tolerant control tasks.
A KPI-based process monitoring and fault detection framework for large-scale ...ISA Interchange
Large-scale processes, consisting of multiple interconnected sub-processes, are commonly encountered in industrial systems, whose performance needs to be determined. A common approach to this problem is to use a key performance indicator (KPI)-based approach. However, the different KPI-based approaches are not developed with a coherent and consistent framework. Thus, this paper proposes a framework for KPI-based process monitoring and fault detection (PM-FD) for large-scale industrial processes, which considers the static and dynamic relationships between process and KPI variables. For the static case, a least squares-based approach is developed that provides an explicit link with least-squares regression, which gives better performance than partial least squares. For the dynamic case, using the kernel re- presentation of each sub-process, an instrument variable is used to reduce the dynamic case to the static case. This framework is applied to the TE benchmark process and the hot strip mill rolling process. The results show that the proposed method can detect faults better than previous methods.
An adaptive PID like controller using mix locally recurrent neural network fo...ISA Interchange
Being complex, non-linear and coupled system, the robotic manipulator cannot be effectively controlled using classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. To enhance the effectiveness of the conventional PID controller for the nonlinear and uncertain systems, gains of the PID controller should be conservatively tuned and should adapt to the process parameter variations. In this work, a mix locally recurrent neural network (MLRNN) architecture is investigated to mimic a conventional PID controller which consists of at most three hidden nodes which act as proportional, integral and derivative node. The gains of the mix locally recurrent neural network based PID (MLRNNPID) controller scheme are initi- alized with a newly developed cuckoo search algorithm (CSA) based optimization method rather than assuming randomly. A sequential learning based least square algorithm is then investigated for the on- line adaptation of the gains of MLRNNPID controller. The performance of the proposed controller scheme is tested against the plant parameters uncertainties and external disturbances for both links of the two link robotic manipulator with variable payload (TL-RMWVP). The stability of the proposed controller is analyzed using Lyapunov stability criteria. A performance comparison is carried out among MLRNNPID controller, CSA optimized NNPID (OPTNNPID) controller and CSA optimized conventional PID (OPTPID) controller in order to establish the effectiveness of the MLRNNPID controller.
A method to remove chattering alarms using median filtersISA Interchange
Chattering alarms are the most found nuisance alarms that will probably reduce the usability and result in a confidence crisis of alarm systems for industrial plants. This paper addresses the chattering alarm reduction using median filters. Two rules are formulated to design the window size of median filters. If the alarm probability is estimated using process data, one rule is based on the probability of alarms to satisfy some requirements on the false alarm rate, or missed alarm rate. If there are only historical alarm data available, the other rule is based on percentage reduction of chattering alarms using alarm duration distribution. Experimental results for industrial cases testify that the proposed method is effective.

An improved proportional integral derivative (PID) controller based on predictive functional control (PFC) is proposed and tested on the chamber pressure in an industrial coke furnace. The proposed design is motivated by the fact that PID controllers for industrial processes with time delay may not achieve the desired control performance because of the unavoidable model/plant mismatches, while model predictive control (MPC) is suitable for such situations. In this paper, PID control and PFC algorithm are combined to form a new PID controller that has the basic characteristic of PFC algorithm and at the same time, the simple structure of traditional PID controller. The proposed controller was tested in terms of set-point tracking and disturbance rejection, where the obtained results showed that the proposed controller had the better ensemble performance compared with traditional PID controllers.

This paper presents a state of charge (SOC) estimation method based on fractional order sliding mode
observer (SMO) for lithium-ion batteries. A fractional order RC equivalent circuit model (FORCECM) is
firstly constructed to describe the charging and discharging dynamic characteristics of the battery. Then,
based on the differential equations of the FORCECM, fractional order SMOs for SOC, polarization voltage
and terminal voltage estimation are designed. After that, convergence of the proposed observers is
analyzed by Lyapunov’s stability theory method. The framework of the designed observer system is
simple and easy to implement. The SMOs can overcome the uncertainties of parameters, modeling and
measurement errors, and present good robustness. Simulation results show that the presented estima-
tion method is effective, and the designed observers have good performance.

1. Introduction
Battery which is an important energy storage equipment has
been widely used in various electric vehicles (EVs), and plays an
important role in EVs [1,2]. Lithium-ion batteries are favored as a
promising power source for EVs by the researchers because of the
characteristics of high cell voltage, high specific power and long
cycle-life [3,4]. In EVs, battery management system was applied to
ensure the reliable operations of battery [5], in which state of
charge (SOC) is an important parameter [6]. SOC often suffer the
influences of random factors like driving loads, operating envir-
onment and nonlinear characteristics [7]. Poor SOC estimation
may lead to larger SOC swing, over-charging and over-discharging
causing the cycle life decline or lower efficiency, it is very sig-
nificant to estimate SOC accurately to improve power distribution
efficiency and usage life [8–10].
A number of SOC estimation methods and techniques have
been proposed in recent years, e.g. ampere–hour counting
method, artificial neural network, support vector machine tech-
nique, Kalman filter-based method and electrochemical impe-
dance spectroscopy method [11]. Ampere–hour counting method
is simple and easy to implement, but requires the prior knowledge
of initial SOC and suffers from accumulated errors [12]. Estimating
the SOC based on artificial neural networks and support vector
machine [11,13] can lead to good SOC estimation results with
appropriate training data sets. But they require a great number of
training samples to train the model. Impedance measurement is
an effective technique for SOC estimation [15,16]. In [14], an
impedance spectra-based approach to estimate SOC was pre-
sented. However, this kind of method requires a set of costly and
auxiliary equipments to carry out the impedance measurement
that is inconvenient in EVs.
The Kalman filter-based method is generally applied to esti-
mate the SOC online or offline [4,7,11,17–19]. In the research on
SOC estimation, both the linear model based and nonlinear model
based methods were applied to estimate the SOC. In order to
improve the robustness and estimation accuracy, some adaptive
Kalman filter estimation methods for SOC estimation were pro-
posed, and the performance was improved. However, these Kal-
man filter-based SOC estimation algorithms often require accurate
parameters of the model, and assume that constant values of the
process and measurement noise covariance are known.
Fractional calculus has been applied in various fields, for
example, control [20–22,25], signal processing and system mod-
eling [23,24,26,27], and some related researches such as stability
analysis of fractional order systems [28]. Recently, fractional cal-
culus was applied in state of charge estimation of battery
[12,29,30]. Ref. [12] introduced a fractional calculus method to

2. model the constant phase element in the impedance model. Based
on the impedance model, a fractional Kalman filter was introduced
to estimate the SOC of the lithium-ion battery, and good estimate
results were achieved. In Refs. [29,30], fractional order sliding
mode observer designed method was employed to estimate the
state of charge of lithium-ion batteries based on the presented
equivalent circuit model, and the experimental results show that
the designed observers were effective and possess good
performance.
In the past, sliding mode observer (SMO) has been employed to
estimate the SOC for the battery [14,31–33]. The SMO-based SOC
estimation method can overcome the drawbacks of the conven-
tional SOC estimation methods like large cumulative errors. It is
simple and robust to modeling errors. To do the further research
on sliding mode observer for SOC estimation of batteries is
significant.
The purpose of this paper is to establish an SOC estimation
method for lithium-ion batteries which combines the advantages
of SMO with the excellent modeling ability of fractional calculus.
Firstly, the fractional calculus is employed to model the battery,
and a fractional order RC equivalent circuit model (FORCECM) is
set up to characterize the charging and discharging dynamics of
the lithium-ion battery. Then, we design fractional order SMOs to
estimate the SOC. In order to guarantee the robustness stability
and the estimation performance of the designed SMOs, the rele-
vant conditions are derived out. Finally, the experiments are car-
ried out, and the results show that our method is effective.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, the basic
definitions, lemmas and theorems are introduced. In Section 3, the
fractional order RC equivalent circuit model and the dynamic
equations which are employed to describe the dynamics of the
battery are presented in detail. Design methodology of the frac-
tional order SMOs for SOC estimation is presented in Section 4.
And the results of the test experiment of designed SMOs are
shown to verify the performance of the proposed method in
Section 5, followed by conclusion in Section 6.

3. Equivalent circuit model for lithium-ion battery
The charging and discharging process of lithium-ion battery is a
complex electrochemistry reaction procedure. In this paper, the
fractional calculus is applied to describe the charging and dis-
charging dynamics. A fractional order RC equivalent circuit model
for lithium-ion battery is employed, in which a fractional order RC
loop is used to model the polarization effect, nonlinear factors, and
approximate the modeling errors. Then an SOC estimation method
and fractional order equivalent circuit model for the battery are
proposed.
The model mainly consists of a capacitance Cp which is used to
model the polarization effect, a diffusion resistance Rp, an open
circuit voltage (OCV) denoted as Voc which is related to the SOC Z,
an ohmic resistance Rt employed to model the ohmic behavior of
the battery cell, terminal voltage Vt and instantaneous current.
Others are depicted by fractional-order terms. The model used in
Ref. [33] employs a capacitance, a resistance and an uncertain term
to model the polarization effect. This uncertain term can model
the uncertainty of the parameters of a battery. As the electro-
chemical reaction in the battery is extremely complex, the model
in this paper considers the characteristics of the battery further.
Not only a resistance, a capacitance and an uncertain term, but
also a special term depicted by a fractional order model is applied
to model the polarization effect, nonlinear factors, and approx-
imate the errors caused by the model. It is named as fractional-
order element (FOE) which aims at improving the model accuracy.
The polarization capacitance is in the FOE component. The voltage
of the FOE is described as DαÀ 1
t Vp which is in the form of
fractional-order integral. When α ¼ 1, it becomes the common
used one, Vp. The diffusion resistance, unknown term ϕp and
fractional-order element component form a fractional-order RC
loop. Symbols ϕp and ϕv denote uncertainties in the battery. The
FORCECM is shown in Fig. 1.

. Then one can find that, without the uncer-
tainty terms ~ϕzðtÞ, ~ϕpðtÞ and ~ϕvðtÞ, the above special case integer
order model shares the similar form of the one in Ref. [31].
Compared with the integer order model, the presented FORCECM
provides more parameter options for approximating the battery
dynamic system, which helps to model the dynamics of battery
accurately.
4. Fractional order observer design for SOC, polarization
voltage estimation
The state of the battery can be estimated by using observer
generally since the observability matrix of the system always has
full rank [33]. Let evðtÞ ¼ VtðtÞÀ ^V tðtÞ, ð ^V t; ^ZÞ be the estimations of
ðVt; ZÞ. For the dynamic system equation of terminal voltage

Then the output of the SMO for terminal voltage is given by
_^V tðtÞ ¼ Àθ1

where θ13 ¼ θ1RtðT0Þþθ1ΔRtðTÞþ η
CnomðTÞ þθ3, Lv is the constant that
will be designed. wðÞ is a switch control function which is a
smooth monotone increasing function (wðxÞ ¼ χi when x4εiu, 0
rwðxÞrχi while 0rxrεie, Àχi rwðxÞo0 when Àεie rxo0,
wðxÞo Àχi when xo Àεie, where εie 40 and 0oχi o1). Espe-
cially, one can choose the tanhðÞ to act as wðÞ.
From (14) and (15), one has the following error dynamic
equation:
_evðtÞ ¼ Àθ1evðtÞþθ1ðVocðZÞÀVocð ^ZÞÞþϕvðtÞÀLvwðevðtÞÞ: ð16Þ
For the convergence analysis of the error ev, one can choose a
Lyapunov candidate function as EvðtÞ ¼ 1=2e2
v , and its derivative
with respect to time is shown as
_EvðtÞ ¼ evðtÞ_evðtÞ ¼ Àθ1e2
v ðtÞþθ1evðtÞðVocðZÞÀVocð ^ZÞÞþevðtÞϕvðtÞ

Select Lv 4 θ1ðVocðZÞÀVocð ^ZÞÞþϕvðtÞ
¼ θ1ηez þϕvðtÞ
, then the
sign of ev and _ev has opposite sign, and _EvðtÞ ¼ evðtÞ_evðtÞo0. Thus
when the sliding mode is activated, one can find that ev tends to a
small value and _ev tends to zero.
Based on the equivalent control technology, when ev and _ev are
0, the error plant in the sliding mode behaves as if LvwðevðtÞÞ is
replaced by Lv wðevðtÞÞ½ Šeq. When evðtÞ ¼ _evðtÞ ¼ 0 and the sliding
mode surface is achieved, the ϕvðtÞ will vanish, one has the fol-
lowing equation:
VocðZðtÞÞÀVocð ^ZðtÞÞ ¼
Lv wðevðtÞÞ½ Šeq
θ1
: ð17Þ
As the OCV is monotonically increasing with the SOC, the term
VocðZðtÞÞÀVocð ^ZðtÞÞ can be thought of as piecewise linear in
ZðtÞÀ ^ZðtÞ, there is VocðZðtÞÞÀVocð ^ZðtÞÞ % ηZðtÞÀη^ZðtÞ, where η is
the piecewise linear gain. From (10), one has
ezðtÞ ¼
Lv wðevðtÞÞ½ Šeq
ηθ1

where ezðtÞ ¼ ZðtÞÀ ^ZðtÞ is the SOC estimation error.
Based on the dynamic equation for SOC we have
_ZðtÞ ¼ φ1VtðtÞÀφ1VocðZÞÀφ1DαÀ1
VpðtÞþϕzðtÞ; ð19Þ
where ϕzðtÞ ¼ _gΔcðtÞþ _σ1ðtÞþmΔðtÞ, the observer for SOC estima-

ð20Þ
where ^ZðtÞ and ^V pðtÞ are the estimates for ZðtÞ and VpðtÞ, respec-
tively. hz and Lz are constants. From (19) and (20), one has an error
dynamic equation as follows:
_ezðtÞ ¼ φ1evðtÞÀφ1 VocðZÞÀVocð ^ZÞ
Àφ1 DαÀ1
VpðtÞÀDαÀ 1 ^V pðtÞ
þϕzðtÞÀhzezðtÞÀLzwðezðtÞÞ: ð21Þ

When hz Z Àφ1η and Lz 4 φ1evðtÞÀφ1DαÀ1

is _EzðtÞo0, which ensures that the estimation error ezðtÞ tends to a

the error plant in the sliding mode behaves as if hzezðtÞþLzwðezðtÞÞ
is replaced by hz ezðtÞ½ Šeq þLz wðezðtÞÞ½ Šeq. When ezðtÞ ¼ _ezðtÞ ¼ 0 and

5. Simulation results
After the fractional order RC equivalent circuit model of a
lithium-ion battery is established and the fractional order sliding
mode observers for the SOC, terminal voltage and polarization
voltage estimation are designed, the validation experiment of the
SOC estimation with the proposed method for lithium-ion bat-
teries is carried out to analyze the performance. Based on the
simulation platform Matlab/simulink, the fractional order RC
equivalent circuit model and the designed fractional order sliding
mode observers are established firstly. Then, the hybrid charging
and discharging, pulse discharging, pulse charging, and other
multiple groups of simulation experiments are conducted. To
investigate the accuracy and online estimation performance of our
method, the SOC estimation in the simulated city driving condi-
tions is done with the simulation platform. As the driving process
often contains acceleration, speed reduction, idling speed, con-
stant speed condition, etc., the current in the simulated city
driving conditions is applied to drive the FORCECM and fractional
order SMOs to investigate the online SOC estimation.
In the hybrid charging and discharging tests and simulated city
driving conditions simulation tests, the designed fractional order
SMOs are used to estimate the SOC, and the tracking performance
is analyzed at the same time.
The main objective of the experiment is to validate the effec-
tiveness of the proposed method, therefore, some parameters of
FORCECM of a lithium-ion battery are assumed. The assumed
profile of OCV versus SOC of the lithium-ion battery is shown in
Fig. 2, and some values of dots of the piecewise linearization
profiles of the curve of OCV versus SOC are listed in Table 1.
Parameters of the FORCECM are as follows: Cnom ¼ 6 A h,
Rt ¼ 0:01 Ω, Rp ¼ 0:007 Ω, Cp ¼ 1:4 Â 104
F, ϕz ¼ 0:0015 sin ðtÞ,
ϕp ¼ 0:005 sin ðtÞ, and ϕv ¼ 0:0001 sin ðtÞ. And the parameters for
the designed observers are Cnom ¼ 6 A h, Rt ¼ 0:0095 Ω,
Rp ¼ 0:00735 Ω, Cp ¼ 1:47 Â 104
F, M1 ¼ 6, M2 ¼ 0:008, and
M3 ¼ 10, where M1, M2 and M3 denote the sliding mode gains Lv, Lz
and Lp, respectively. hz and hp are set to 0. The tanh ðÞ is selected
to act as the switch control function wðÞ in observers. For the tests
pulse discharging, hybrid complex pulse, complex charging–dis-
charging current case and pulse charging, most parameters are the
same as those set above. The different ones are ϕp ¼ 0:01,
ϕv ¼ 0:001, M1 ¼ 6, M2 ¼ 0:004, M3 ¼ 2.
Initial states of the variables in the tests are listed in Table 2, in
which AddTest1, AddTest2 and AddTest3 present the pulse dis-
charging, hybrid complex pulse, complex charging–discharging
current case tests respectively.
The FORCECM of the lithium-ion battery is employed to simulate
the charging, discharging, and hybrid charging–discharging tests,
and the terminal voltage and current are generated in the simula-
tion experiment. The output terminal voltage and current are fed
into the designed fractional order SMOs, and then the fractional
order SMOs calculate and output the estimated SOC, terminal vol-
tage and the other estimated variable. The tracking ability, estima-
tion performance of the fractional order SMOs are analyzed by
comparing the output estimated state variables (terminal voltage,
SOC, etc.) with the true ones, respectively. Then the effectiveness
and accuracy of the proposed method are well analyzed.
Figs. 3–35 present the experiment results. Among them,
Figs. 4–7 are the estimation results of the hybrid charging and
discharging test, the profiles including the current, SOC, terminal
voltage and SOC estimation errors; Figs. 9–12 are the results of the
SOC estimation test in simulated city driving conditions. Fig. 3 is
the hybrid charging and discharging current in the test, and Fig. 8
shows the curve of current of the test in the simulated city driving
conditions. While Figs. 13, 18, 23 and 28 present the currents in
the hybrid complex pulse, pulse charging, pulse discharging and
complex charging–discharging current case tests separately.
Figs. 4 and 5 indicate that the output SOC of the fractional order
SMO of SOC can track the true SOC quickly, and the output
terminal voltage of the relative SMO can also track the real one in a
fast rate accurately. The estimation errors are large at the begin-
ning stage, because the setting initial states of the SMOs are quite
different from the true ones. But they can tend to the true ones
quickly and accurately, which means that the designed SMOs
possess good performance. Similar conclusions are obtained
through analyzing the results in Figs. 9 and 10. Therefore, the
proposed SOC estimation method in this paper is effective.
Results depicted in Figs. 6 and 11 are the SOC estimation errors.
And Figs. 7 and 12 show the SOC estimation relative errors. The error
ranges which are calculated after 1000 s in the estimating process are
listed in Table 3. From the experimental results presented in Table 3

6. and the profiles of the estimation errors, it can be found based on the
conditions we set in the simulation above, the SOC estimation error is
limited in a range of ½À0:01; 0:01Š, and the relative error range can be
limited to a range ½À2:5%; 2:5%Š. These results show that the
observers designed in this paper have good accuracy. The method
presented in this paper is effective for SOC estimation.
In order to analyze the effects of the observer gain on the
estimation accuracy further and try to search proper ranges of
observer gains, multiple simulation experiments are implemented
by using the charging and discharging current used in the simu-
lated city driving conditions test, with various observer gains
ðM1; M2; M3Þ. In the first group simulation experiment, we set
M2 ¼ 0:008, M3 ¼ 10, and conduct simulation with various M1,
they are 0.006, 0.06, 0.6, 1.8, 3.6, 4.8, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 24, 30, 36, 45,
85, 200, 2000, 20,000, 200,000. In the second group experiment,
fixing M1 ¼ 6 and M3 ¼ 10, we conduct SOC estimation with dif-
ferent M2, they are 8eÀ6, 8eÀ5, 8eÀ4, 8eÀ3, 0.016, 0.08, 0.8, 2, 4,
6, 8 and 10 separately. When it comes to the third group experi-
ment, we fix M1 ¼ 6, M2 ¼ 0:008, and implement the SOC esti-
mation with the proposed observers with various M3 shown as
0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80. Due to the limit
of the pages, only some results are listed herein. The experimental
results are shown in Figs. 33–35.

range. However, these three observer gains cannot be too large at the
same time, for it may cause bad effect on the estimation performance.
And they cannot set to too small value in the meanwhile, otherwise, it
may cause observers' un-convergence which also lead to unsuccessful
estimation.

10. 6. Conclusion
State of charge estimation of lithium-ion batteries using frac-
tional order sliding mode observer has been presented in this
paper. A fractional order RC equivalent circuit model is employed
to model lithium-ion battery, and fractional order SMOs are
designed to estimate the SOC. This method absorbs the benefits of

11. SMOs in dealing with parameter uncertainties and measurement
noises, and the powerful ability for the description of different
substances of fractional order derivatives and integrals. It is simple
and able to overcome the weakness of conventional methods like
large cumulative errors with robustness to modeling errors. The
Lyapunov candidate conditions have been invoked to establish the
convergence of the presented observers. Compared with the
integer order model, the presented FORCECM provides more
parameter options for approximating the battery dynamic system.
For the case that the fractional order is 1, the FORCECM becomes
an integer RC equivalent circuit model. The designed sliding mode
observer contains fractional order derivative which is more gen-
eral. The simulation results validate the effectiveness and accuracy
of the proposed method. Under the assuming conditions in this
paper, the SOC estimation error range can be controlled in the
range of 70:01, and the relative error range can be controlled in
72:5% with proper observer gain values.
