The backstepping design was implemented for the control of a DC Motor system to achieve the desired angular velocity and angular position tracking control. A control law was calculated by following Lyapunov and backstepping theory. The calculated control law is guaranteed to be asymptotically stable by having the error signals (velocity and position) converge to zero which is in accordance with the backstepping design theory. A computer simulation was implemented in Simulink to demonstrate the effectiveness of the calculated control law. The asymptotic tracking performance and the effectiveness of the control law have been achieved. Further system output analysis was conducted in order to filter real life scenario infused noise as well as to compensate the overshot of the DC motor angular velocity to achieve a better tracking of the desired angular velocity and angular position.

The AquaBuOY, as stated in “Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of the AquaBuOY Wave Energy Converter” [1], is modeled as a two-body system of linear second order differential equations corresponding to the vertical motion of the two bodies. As the system is difficult to solve by hand, even given a number of assumptions and an expected outcome, it was vital that we could create a model of the system in Simulink. Once created, the Simulink model allowed us to quickly change any individual parameter, such as size and mass of components or location of the buoy, as reflected in changes in amplitude and wave frequency, and model its effect on the efficiency of the approximated system. The goal of the project, in addition to calculating the output efficiency of the system, was to demonstrate proficiency in the course material.

Overall providing easy remote control to various home appliances connected to the system. This system will connect some of the domestic appliances to the internet in an interactive web page. By doing this to all the domestic devices it will help reduce electricity costs and conserve energy.
