This paper investigates the development of a novel analytic approach for computing Unity Magnitude (UM) shapers that deviates from established numerical methodologies. The experimental validation on a test bench confirms the practicality and benefits of the suggested UM shaper technique. The study extends the use of UM shapers to improve the control of wind conversion systems (WCSs), particularly those including hybrid excitation synchronous generators (HESGs), demonstrating their adaptability and versatility. Experimental validation guarantees real-world application, confirming the suggested UM shapers’ trustworthiness. Strict management is still required to assure the system’s efficiency and dependability. In reality, the dynamic equations of a turbine, as well as those of an HESG, are substantially nonlinear; most system parameters are very uncertain; and, finally, a WCS is always impacted by disturbance sources such as load variations, harmonics, and mechanical vibrations. Robust control measures must be used to overcome these issues. A CRONE controller (Robust Fractional Order Control) of the second generation is created. A comparative study performed on the Simulink platform reveals substantial gains brought about by UM shapers in real-world circumstances. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of UM-shaped inputs in mechanical stabilization and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), emphasizing both theoretical soundness and practical advantages. The analytic equations for UM shapers in undamped and damped systems, offered together with a real-time algorithm, contribute to the optimization of wind conversion systems.

This paper presents an extensive investigation into the state feedback stabilization, observer design, and observer-based controller design for a specific category of nonlinear Hadamard fractional-order systems. The research extends the conventional integer-order derivative to the Hadamard fractional-order derivative, offering a more universally applicable method for system analysis. Furthermore, the traditional Lipschitz condition is adapted to a one-sided Lipschitz condition, broadening the range of systems amenable to analysis using these techniques. The efficacy of the proposed theoretical findings is illustrated through several numerical examples. For instance, in Example 1, we select an order of derivative r = 0.8; in Example 2, r is set to 0.9; and in Example 3, r = 0.95. This study enhances the comprehension and regulation of nonlinear Hadamard fractional-order systems, setting the stage for future explorations in this domain.

This paper investigates the problem of observer-based control for a class of nonlinear systems described by the Caputo–Hadamard fractional-order derivative. Given the growing interest in fractional-order systems for their ability to capture complex dynamics, ensuring their practical stability remains a significant challenge. We propose a novel concept of practical stability tailored to nonlinear Hadamard fractional-order systems, which guarantees that the system solutions converge to a small ball containing the origin, thereby enhancing their robustness against perturbations. Furthermore, we introduce a practical observer design that extends the classical observer framework to fractional-order systems under an enhanced One-Sided Lipschitz (OSL) condition. This extended OSL condition ensures the convergence of the proposed practical observer, even in the presence of significant nonlinearities and disturbances. Notably, the novelty of our approach lies in the extension of both the practical observer and the stability criteria, which are innovative even in the integer-order case. Theoretical results are substantiated through numerical examples, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed method in real-world control applications. Our contributions pave the way for the development of robust observers in fractional-order systems, with potential applications across various engineering domains.

Fractional systems have been widely utilized in various fields, such as mathematics, physics and finance, providing a versatile framework for precise measurements and calculations involving partial quantities. This paper aims to develop a novel polynomial controller for a power system (PS) with fractional-order (FO) dynamics. It begins by studying the practical stability of a general class of tempered fractional-order (TFO) nonlinear systems, with broad applicability and potential for expanding its applications. Afterward, a polynomial controller is designed to guarantee the practical stability of the PS, encompassing the standard constant controller as a specific instance. The design conditions for this controller are resolved using the sum of squares (SOS) approach, a powerful technique for guaranteeing stability and control design. To showcase the practical value of the analytical findings, simulations of the PS are conducted utilizing SOSTOOLS.

In this study, an unknown input observer is proposed for a class of nonlinear GPFOSs. For this class of systems, both full-order and reduced-order observers have been established. The investigated system satisfies the one-sided Lipschitz nonlinear condition, which is an improvement of the classic Lipschitz condition. Sufficient conditions have been proposed to ensure the error dynamics’ Mittag–Leffler stability. The value of this work lies in the fact that, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first research work that investigates the issue of Observer Design (OD) for GPFOSs. To exemplify the usefulness of the suggested observers, an illustrative numerical example is suggested.

This study focuses on implementing a wind turbine emulator based on a permanent magnet synchronous machine with excitation auxiliary windings and thoroughly investigates the space harmonics created by this innovative topology in MATLAB/Simulink. A Hybrid Generator (HG) is a robust generator that does not have slip rings or brushes in its structure. Furthermore, the flux of the hybrid generator HG may be easily adjusted as it is created by direct current excitation coils and permanent magnets. Unfortunately, the space harmonic rate in the HG is relatively high. In other words, the mechanical vibrations caused by the electromagnetic torque ripple threaten the drive train’s behaviour and, ultimately, the wind turbine’s lifespan. This study describes two methods for decreasing the ripple in electromagnetic torque. Both circuit architecture and robust H_∞ control techniques are considered. After simulating the two approaches, a list of requirements is provided for the maximum allowable amplitude of the inductance and the flux harmonics.
