多电机驱动系统的保性能鲁棒Funnel控制

本文针对含参数不确定性的多电机驱动系统,提出一种基于最优保性能鲁棒的Funnel控制方法实现系统的规定跟踪性能.该控制方法通过构造Funnel函数对误差系统进行变换,并设计自适应反步控制器保证变换后系统的稳定性即可使跟踪误差的瞬态和稳态响应均被限制在给定的Funnel边界内.然而由于系统中存在的参数不确定性会影响系统的规定控制性能,本文在Funnel控制基础上又设计了最优保性能鲁棒控制器.它是通过将参数不确定性系统的保性能鲁棒控制问题转化为标称系统的最优控制问题,并求解新的黎卡提方程而得到的.因此所设计的控制器不但消除了参数不确定性对系统的影响并且能够使系统的性能指标达到一确定的上界.最后,对四电机驱动系统进行了仿真和实验验证,说明所提出控制方法的有效性.     

An LMI approach to guaranteed cost control for uncertain linear neutral delay systems

This paper considers the problem of guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral delay systems with a quadratic cost function. The system under consideration is subject to norm‐bounded time‐varying parametric uncertainty appearing in all the matrices of the state‐space model. The problem we address is the design of a state feedback controller such that the closed‐loop system is not only stable but also guarantees an adequate level of performance for all admissible uncertainties. A sufficient condition for the existence of guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). When this condition is feasible, the desired state feedback controller gain matrices can be obtained via convex optimization. An illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis of minimax optimal controllers for uncertain time-delay systems with structured uncertainty

This paper is concerned with the design of robust state feedback controllers for a class of uncertain time-delay systems. The uncertainty is assumed to satisfy a certain integral quadratic constraint. The controller proposed is a minimax optimal controller in the sense that it minimizes the maximum value of a corresponding linear quadratic cost function over all admissible uncertainties. The controller leads to an absolutely stable closed loop uncertain system and is constructed by solving a finite dimensional parameter-dependent algebraic Riccati equation.

Quadratic guaranteed cost control for uncertain dissipative models: A Riccati equation approach

The problem of H₂ guaranteed cost control and dynamic output-feedback for linear uncertain systems with dissipative uncertainty is addressed. The problem of robust H₂ synthesis has been open for the last two decades. In this paper, a problem of H₂ quadratic guaranteed cost control is defined for uncertain systems affected by LTI quadratic dissipative model uncertainty. A necessary and sufficient condition of quadratic stabilizability via output-feedback is derived in terms of two coupled parameter-dependent Riccati equations. Then, a method is given to design controllers which minimize an upper bound for the worst-case H₂ norm of the uncertain system. It therefore assesses a guaranteed level of robust performance where in literature, only nominal performance is ensured in most cases. A reliable numerical iterative procedure based on Riccati solvers and one-dimensional convex parameter search is provided. With this uncertainty modelling and the developed numerical procedure, we hope to reduce the usual conservatism of quadratic designs.     

A stabilization algorithm for a class of uncertain linear systems

This paper presents an algorithm for the stabilization of a class of uncertain linear systems. The uncertain systems under consideration are described by state equations which depend on time-varying unknown-but-bounded uncertain parameters. The construction of the stabilizing controller involves solving a certain algebraic Riccati equation. Furthermore, the solution to this Riccati equation defines a quadratic Lyapunov function which is used to establish the stability of the closed-loop system. This leads to a notion of ‘quadratic stabilizability’. It is shown that the stabilization procedure will succeed if and only if the given uncertain linear system is quadratically stabilizable.The paper also deals with a notion of ‘overbounding’ for uncertain linear systems. This procedure enables the stabilization algorithm to be applied to a larger class of uncertain linear systems. Also included in the paper are results which indicate the degree of conservativeness introduced by this overbounding process.

Output feedback optimal guaranteed cost control of uncertain piecewise linear systems

This paper proposes the output feedback optimal guaranteed cost controller design method for uncertain piecewise linear systems based on the piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions technique. By constructing piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions for the closed‐loop augmented systems, the existence of the guaranteed cost controller for closed‐loop uncertain piecewise linear systems is cast as the feasibility of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Some of the variables in BMIs are set to be searched by genetic algorithm (GA), then for a given chromosome corresponding to the variables in BMIs, the BMIs turn to be linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the corresponding non‐convex optimization problem, which minimizes the upper bound on cost function, reduces to a semidefinite programming (SDP) which is convex and can be solved numerically efficiently with the available software. Thus, the output feedback optimal guaranteed cost controller can be obtained by solving the non‐convex optimization problem using the mixed algorithm that combines GA and SDP. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On delay‐dependent LMI‐based guaranteed cost control of uncertain neutral systems with discrete and distributed time‐varying delays

In this paper, the problem of designing robust guaranteed cost control law for a class of uncertain neutral system with a given quadratic cost function is considered. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory, a delay‐dependent criterion for the existence of guaranteed cost controller is expressed in the form of two linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved by using effective LMI toolbox. Moreover, a convex optimization problem satisfying some LMI constraints is formulated to solve a guaranteed cost controller which achieves the minimization of the closed‐loop guaranteed cost. An efficient approach is proposed to design the guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral systems. Computer software Matlab can be used to solve all the proposed results. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show the usefulness of our obtained design method. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Control of nonlinear plants with state-dependent coefficients

The theoretical fundamentals for solving the linear quadratic problems may be sometimes used to design the control actions for the nonlinear systems. The method relying on the Riccati equation with state-dependent coefficients is one of the promising and rapidly developing tools for design of the nonlinear controllers. The set of possible suboptimal solutions is generated by the ambiguous representation of the nonlinear system as a linearly structured system with state-dependent coefficients and the lack of sufficiently universal algorithms to solve the Riccati equation also having state-dependent coefficients. The paper proposed a method to design a guaranteed control for the uncertain nonlinear plant with state-dependent parameters. An example of designing the controller for an uncertain nonlinear system was presented.

Stochastic stability and guaranteed cost control of discrete-time uncertain systems with Markovian jumping parameters

In this paper, we first study the problems of robust quadratic mean-square stability and stabilization for a class of uncertain discrete-time linear systems with both Markovian jumping parameters and Frobenius norm-bounded parametric uncertainities. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the above problems are proposed, which are in terms of positive-definite solutions of a set of coupled algebraic Riccati inequalities. Then, the problem of robust quadratic guaranteed cost control for the underlying systems is investigated. A guaranteed cost control is designed to ensure the cost function is within a certain bound, irrespective of all admissible uncertainities. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
