Title: Fault diagnosis technology for brake control system of
high-speed trains
Abstract:
In order to improve the safety of the brake control system of high-speed
railway in China, some key problems of state estimation and fault diagnosis are
studied. Aiming at the challenges of non-ideal channels such as bandwidth
constraint and data link failure to distributed state estimation, we proposed a
series of new distributed filtering methods based on innovation measurement and
performance upper bound optimization. These techniques reduce the excessive
consumption of bandwidth and energy in existing distributed estimation, and
provide a new way for the transmission and utilization of high frequency
sampling data. Aiming at the open problem of closed-loop fault diagnosis, we
discussed the failure reason of open loop fault diagnosis method in closed-loop
system, and an effective improvement method based on historical observation
data is proposed and shown. Aiming at the diagnosis bottleneck caused by small
amplitude and short duration of intermittent fault, we gave a diagnosability
criterion of intermittent fault, and systematic research framework of
intermittent fault diagnosis for stochastic dynamic systems is established.
Relevant results have been applied to the fault diagnosis of high-speed train
brake control system.

Title:Stabilization
of Boolean Control Networks
Abstract:The
purpose of this report is to use some new techniques to discuss
the stabilization of Boolean control networks. First, stabilization
and finite time stabilization of probabilistic Boolean control networks is
investigated. A complete family of reachable sets is defined, based
on which, state feedback control stabilization conditions are
obtained. Secondly, pinning control is studied to be applied to the
Boolean networks to achieve the stabilization control objective. A necessary
and sufficient condition is given for the stability of BNs with stochastic
disturbances. Thirdly, sampled-data state feedback control with stochastic
sampling periods is considered to stabilize Boolean control networks. At last,
sampled-data state feedback control with Lebesgue sampling is considered to
stabilize Boolean control networks. A necessary and sufficient condition for
stabilization is obtained for the considered Boolean control networks.

Title: Filtered Repetitive Control with Nonlinear Systems
Abstract.
In practice, many control tasks are also often of a periodic nature. For these
periodic control tasks, repetitive control (RC, or repetitive controller, also
designated RC) can achieve high precision control performance. RC often suffers
the robustness problem, including stability robustness against uncertain
parameters of systems and performance robustness against uncertain or
time-varying period-time of external signals. Filters and frequency domain
analysis are the primary tools to solve such a problem, resulting in filtered
RCs. But, they can be applied only with difficulty, if at all, to nonlinear
systems. This talk aims at providing five methods to explore the potential of
RC. Commonly-used methods like the feedback linearization method and
adaptive-control-like method will be introduced first. However, feedback
linearization or error dynamics derived is often difficult for other various
types of problems. To this end, three new methods parallel to the two ways
mentioned above will also be shared, which are the additive-state-decomposition
based method, the actuator-focused design method, and the contraction mapping
method.

Title: Online operating performance assessment of hydrocracking
process under uncertain information
Abstract: In order to timely adjust
its production operations and ensure long-term optimized running, it is of
great significance for the hydrocracking process to accurately assess whether
its current production deviates from the optimal operating performance and
determine the deviation degree. However, due to the harsh detection environment
and limited detection technology, it is difficult to detect the key operating
performance assessment indicators online. The complexity of the process and
data also increases the difficulty of online prediction of these key assessment
indicators. Moreover, suffer from three uncertainties of operating acknowledge,
data measurement and the information interaction of hierarchical operating
structure, the accurate online assessment of operating performance is still
difficult. Therefore, driven by big data, we have carried in-depth research on
the online operating performance assessment method of hydrocracking process
under uncertain information. This report summarizes our relevant research
results, and introduces them from the aspects of assessment indicator system
construction and modeling preprocessing, online prediction of key assessment
indicators, and online assessment of operating performance.
