Simultaneous linear and anti-windup controller synthesis using multiobjective convex optimization

We present a method for the synthesis of a control law for input constrained linear systems that incorporates both a traditional linear output-feedback controller as well as a static anti-windup compensator. Unlike traditional two-step anti-windup controller designs in which the linear controller and anti-windup compensator are designed sequentially, our method synthesizes all controller parameters simultaneously. This one-step design retains the anti-windup structure, thus providing structurally ‘a priori’ compensation for saturation. We derive sufficient conditions for guaranteeing global quadratic stability and for satisfying multiple, possibly conflicting, performance objectives on the constrained and unconstrained closed-loop dynamics. The resulting synthesis problem is recast as an optimization over linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). We demonstrate the proposed method on a benchmark problem.

Piecewise Fuzzy Anti-Windup Dynamic Output Feedback Control of Nonlinear Processes With Amplitude and Rate Actuator Saturations

In this paper, a novel anti-windup dynamic output compensator is developed to deal with the robust H _infin output feedback control problem of nonlinear processes with amplitude and rate actuator saturations and external disturbances. Via fuzzy modeling of nonlinear systems, the proposed piecewise fuzzy anti-windup dynamic output feedback controller is designed based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions. It is shown that with sector conditions, robust output feedback stabilization of an input-constrained nonlinear process can be formulated as a convex optimization problem subject to linear matrix inequalities. Simulation study on a strongly nonlinear continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) benchmark plant is given to show the performance of the proposed anti-windup dynamic compensator.

Anti-windup control for nonlinear singularly perturbed switched systems with actuator saturation

This paper considers the problem of anti-windup (AW) control for nonlinear singularly perturbed switched systems with actuator saturation. An AW controller consisting of a dynamic state feedback (DSF) controller and an AW compensator is firstly constructed. Then, two methods are proposed to determine the AW controller gain matrices by a common Lyapunov function. One of which assumes that the singular perturbation parameter ? is available and designs ?-dependent AW controller gains simultaneously. The other one, which considers the case that ? is unknown but sufficiently small, designs the ?-independent DSF controller gain matrices first and then designs the ?-independent AW compensator gain matrices. Both of the methods are reduced to solving convex optimisation problems and can achieve larger stability bound and basin of attraction than the existing results. Finally, examples are used to illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed methods.     

An anti-windup input–output linearization scheme for SISO systems

A control synthesis scheme for the feedback linearization of single-input single-output nonlinear systems subject to constraints is presented. The approach requires an external, state-dependent saturation element, which translates the actuator bounds to the feedback linearizing control input. Thus the “linearizing” properties of the differential geometric controller are preserved, and a linear anti-windup can be applied in the outer loop. Conditions for nominal stability are provided. An application to a numerical example is presented. ©     

Optimal anti-windup synthesis for repetitive controllers

Repetitive controllers use internal models that provide very high gain at a selected fundamental frequency and its harmonics, additionally, some of the internal models may result unstable, as in the high order repetitive control approach. These characteristics make the repetitive control system susceptible to exhibit wind-up when actuator saturation occurs. This paper proposes an anti-windup scheme for repetitive control based on the model recovery anti-windup strategy. The proposed scheme provides low order, low computational burden and also isolation of the controller from the saturation effects. The anti-windup compensator is constructed from the plant model and provides an additional linear feedback path aimed at enhancing system performance. This feedback path is designed to obtain a deadbeat behaviour, which makes the system recovery faster. Finally, internal stability and deadbeat features are designed in a compact procedure based on linear matrix inequalities and an optimal linear quadratic design. Experimental validation of the proposed anti-windup compensator is provided using a mechatronic plant.     

Anti-windup control design for exponentially unstable LTI systems with actuator saturation

In this paper, a new saturation control technique in the framework of anti-windup compensation is developed for exponentially unstable linear time-invariant systems subject to input nonlinearities. The proposed control algorithm guarantees regional stability in the existence of input saturation, and provides less conservative performance than most existing anti-windup schemes. Moreover, an explicit form of anti-windup controller with its order no more than the order of the plant is derived. An inverted pendulum example is used to demonstrate the advantages of the newly proposed anti-windup control technique.     

Anti-windup design with guaranteed regions of stability for discrete-time linear systems

The purpose of this paper is to study the determination of stability regions for discrete-time linear systems with saturating controls through anti-windup schemes. Considering that a linear dynamic output feedback has been designed to stabilize the linear discrete-time system (without saturation), a method is proposed for designing an anti-windup gain that maximizes an estimate of the basin of attraction of the closed-loop system in the presence of saturation. It is shown that the closed-loop system obtained from the controller plus the anti-windup gain can be locally modeled by a linear system with a deadzone nonlinearity. Then, based on the use of a new sector condition and quadratic Lyapunov functions, stability conditions in an LMI form are stated. These conditions are then considered in a convex optimization problem in order to compute an anti-windup gain that maximizes an estimate of the basin of attraction of the closed-loop system. Moreover, considering asymptotically stable open-loop systems, it is shown that the conditions can be slightly modified in order to determine an anti-windup gain that ensures global stability. An extension of the proposed results to the case of dynamic anti-windup synthesis is also presented in the paper.     

Anti‐windup synthesis for nonlinear dynamic inversion control schemes

A general anti‐windup (AW) compensation scheme is provided for a class of input constrained feedback‐linearizable nonlinear systems. The controller considered is an inner‐loop nonlinear dynamic inversion controller, augmented with an outer‐loop linear controller, of arbitrary structure. For open‐loop globally exponentially stable plants, it is shown that (i) there always exists a globally stabilizing AW compensator corresponding to a nonlinear generalization of the Internal‐Model‐Control (IMC) AW solution; (ii) important operator theoretic parallels exist between the AW design scheme for linear control and the suggested AW design scheme for nonlinear affine plants and (iii) a more attractive AW compensator may be obtained by using a nonlinear state‐feedback term, which plays a role similar to the linear state‐feedback term in linear coprime factor‐based AW compensation. The results are demonstrated on a dual‐tank simulation example. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust anti-windup controller design of time-delay fuzzy systems with actuator saturations

This study presents a robust anti-windup fuzzy control approach for uncertain nonlinear time-delay systems with actuator saturations. The discussed system dynamics is presented by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. To facilitate the design process, the nonlinearity of input saturation is characterized by a specific sector condition. Given a stabilizing dynamic output feedback fuzzy controller, an anti-windup control approach is then developed to maximize the size of estimate of the domain of attraction. Significantly, the convergence of all admissible initial states within this region could be ensured. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii delay-independent and delay-dependent analyses, sufficient conditions for the robust stabilization are derived. These conditions are formulated as a convex optimization problem with constraints represented by a set of linear matrix inequalities, allowing the fuzzy controller to be synthesized more efficiently. Finally, numeric simulations are given to validate the proposed approach.     

Multirate sliding mode disturbance compensation for model predictive control

In this paper, a novel hierarchical multirate control scheme for nonlinear discrete‐time systems is presented, consisting of a robust nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) and a multirate sliding mode disturbance compensator (MSMDC). The proposed MSMDC acts at a faster rate than the NMPC in order to keep the system as close as possible to the nominal trajectory predicted by NMPC despite model uncertainties and external disturbances. The a priori disturbance compensation turns out to be very useful in order to improve the robustness of the NMPC controller. A dynamic input allocation between MSMDC and NMPC allows to maximize the benefits of the proposed scheme that unites the advantages of sliding mode control (strong reduction of matched disturbances, low computational burden) to those of NMPC (optimality, constraints handling). Sufficient conditions required to guarantee input‐to‐state stability and constraints satisfaction by the overall scheme are also provided. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Adaptive actuator failure compensation for multivariable feedback linearizable systems

A feedback linearization‐based adaptive control scheme is developed for multivariable nonlinear systems with redundant actuators subject to uncertain failures. Such an adaptive controller contains a direct adaptive actuator failure compensator to compensate the uncertain actuator failure, a nonlinear feedback to linearize the nonlinear dynamics, and a linear feedback to stabilize the linearized system. The key new design feature is the estimation of both the failure patterns and the failure values, for direct adaptive actuator failure compensation, newly developed for multivariable feedback linearizable nonlinear systems. With direct control signal adaptation, the adaptive failure compensation design ensures closed‐loop stability and asymptotic output tracking in the presence of actuator failure uncertainties. Simulation results from an application to attitude control of a near‐space vehicle dynamic model are presented to verify the desired system performance with adaptive actuator failure compensation.

Delay‐range‐dependent control of nonlinear time‐delay systems under input saturation

This paper describes a delay‐range‐dependent local state feedback controller synthesis approach providing estimation of the region of stability for nonlinear time‐delay systems under input saturation. By employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, properties of nonlinear functions, local sector condition and Jensen's inequality, a sufficient condition is derived for stabilization of nonlinear systems with interval delays varying within a range. Novel solutions to the delay‐range‐dependent and delay‐dependent stabilization problems for linear and nonlinear time‐delay systems, respectively, subject to input saturation are derived as specific scenarios of the proposed control strategy. Also, a delay‐rate‐independent condition for control of nonlinear systems in the presence of input saturation with unknown delay‐derivative bound information is established. And further, a robust state feedback controller synthesis scheme ensuring L₂ gain reduction from disturbance to output is devised to address the problem of the stabilization of input‐constrained nonlinear time‐delay systems with varying interval lags. The proposed design conditions can be solved using linear matrix inequality tools in connection with conventional cone complementary linearization algorithms. Simulation results for an unstable nonlinear time‐delay network and a large‐scale chemical reactor under input saturation and varying interval time‐delays are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
