Robust predictive extended state observer for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying input delay

ABSTRACT

This paper deals with asymptotic stabilisation of a class of nonlinear input-delayed systems via dynamic output feedback in the presence of disturbances. The proposed strategy has the structure of an observer-based control law, in which the observer estimates and predicts both the plant state and the external disturbance. A nominal delay value is assumed to be known and stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are derived for fast-varying delay uncertainties. Asymptotic stability is achieved if the disturbance or the time delay is constant. The controller design problem is also addressed and a numerical example with an unstable system is provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed strategy.

Generalized extended state observer–based repetitive control for systems with mismatched disturbances

A generalized extended state observer (GESO) is devised to improve the disturbances rejection performance in a repetitive‐control system (RCS) for a class of single‐input, single‐output nonlinear plants with nonintegral chain form and mismatched disturbances. By appropriately choosing a disturbance compensation gain and incorporating the disturbance estimate into a repetitive control law, a GESO‐based RCS is established. In this system, the repetitive controller ensures tracking of a periodic reference input, and the incorporation of the disturbance compensation into the control input enables attenuating the lumped disturbance from the system output. Stability criteria and design algorithms have been developed for the system. A case study on the speed control of a rotational control system exhibits that the GESO‐based RCS delivers not only a promising disturbance rejection performance but also a superior property of tracking performance.     

Improved disturbance rejection for predictor-based control of MIMO linear systems with input delay

In this paper, we are concerned with the predictor-based control of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear systems with input delay and disturbances. By taking the future values of disturbances into consideration, a new improved predictive scheme is proposed. Compared with the existing predictive schemes, our proposed predictive scheme can achieve a finite-time exact state prediction for some smooth disturbances including the constant disturbances, and a better disturbance attenuation can also be achieved for a large class of other time-varying disturbances. The attenuation of mismatched disturbances for second-order linear systems with input delay is also investigated by using our proposed predictor-based controller.     

Robust actuator fault reconstruction for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with unknown input via a synthesized learning and sliding-mode observer

The issue of robust actuator fault reconstruction for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with actuator fault and unknown input via a novel Synthesized Learning and Sliding-Mode Observer (SLSMO) is investigated in this paper. Through a coordinate transformation technique, the considered T-S fuzzy system is decomposed into two separate subsystems: Subsystem 1 affected only by actuator fault and Subsystem 2 affected by unknown input and actuator fault. In the SLSMO methodology, for Subsystem 1, a new reduced-order Fuzzy Learning Observer (FLO) is explored to accurately reconstruct actuator fault, while a reduced-order Fuzzy Sliding Mode Observer (FSMO) is employed for Subsystem 2 such that it has strong robustness against actuator fault and unknown input. Stability and convergence of the fuzzy SLSMO are explicitly proved using Lyapunov's indirect method. The design issue of the reduced-order FLO and of the reduced-order FSMO can be uniformly formulated in terms of some Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) that can be directly solved using LMI optimization technique. In addition, a new full-order FLO is suggested for actuator fault reconstruction in a class of T-S fuzzy system without unknown input. At the end, a numerical example is applied to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approaches.

Delay and state observation for SISO nonlinear systems with input delay

This paper deals with the problem of state and delay estimation for SISO nonlinear systems with an unknown time‐varying delay in the input. The main idea is to approximate the delayed input by using Taylor's theorem and to create an extended system with the delay as part of the extended state. Then, the construction of an observer is proposed to estimate both state and delay. The results are illustrated by simulations.

Robust observer design for uncertain one‐sided Lipschitz systems with disturbances

In this paper, we study the robust observer design problem for a class of uncertain one‐sided Lipschitz systems with disturbances. Not only the system matrices but also the nonlinear functions are assumed to be uncertain. The nominal models of nonlinearities are assumed to satisfy both the one‐sided Lipschitz condition and the quadratically inner‐bounded condition. By utilizing a novel approach, our observer designs are robust against unknown nonlinear uncertainties and system and measurement noises. The new approach also relaxes some conservativeness in related existing results, ie, less conservative observer design conditions are obtained. Furthermore, the problem of designing reduced‐order observers is considered in case the output measurement is not subject to uncertainty and disturbance. Two examples are provided to show the efficiency and advantages of our results over existing works.

Disturbance observer-based tracking control with prescribed performance specifications for a class of nonlinear systems subject to mismatched disturbances

This work investigates simultaneous prescribed performance tracking control and mismatched disturbance rejection problems for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems. A novel control scheme combining prescribed performance control, disturbance observer technique, and backstepping method is proposed. The disturbance estimations are introduced into the design of virtual control law design in each step to compensate the mismatched disturbances. To further improve the control performance, a prescribed performance function characterizing the error convergence rate, maximum overshoot, and steady-state error is used to construct the composite controller. The proposed controller guarantees transient and steady-state performance specifications of tracking error and provides much better disturbance attenuation ability simultaneously. Rigorous stability analysis for the closed-loop system is established by direct Lyapunov function method. It is shown that all the states in the resulting closed-loop system are stable, and the tracking error evolves within the prescribed performance boundaries and asymptotically converges to zero even in the presence of mismatched external disturbances. Finally, theoretical results are illustrated and demonstrated by two simulation examples.     

Novel disturbance-observer-based control for systems with high-order mismatched disturbances

A novel disturbance-observer-based control method is investigated to attenuate the high-order mismatched disturbances. First, a finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is proposed to estimate the disturbances as well as the derivatives. By incorporating the outputs of FTDO, the original system is then reconstructed, where the mismatched disturbances are transformed to the matched ones that are compensated by feed-forward algorithm. Moreover, a feedback control law is developed to achieve the stability and tracking performance requirements for the systems. Finally, the proposed composite control method is applied to an unmanned helicopter system. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control method exhibits excellent control performance in the presence of high-order matched and mismatched disturbances.     

Global output regulation for strict‐feedback nonlinear systems with mismatched nonvanishing disturbances

This paper concerns the problem of global output regulation for a class of strict‐feedback nonlinear systems subject to mismatched nonvanishing disturbances. A composite control scheme is developed using a nonlinear disturbance observer‐based control approach. A novel idea is that the disturbance estimation is introduced into the design of virtual control laws in each step. Global stability analysis for the closed‐loop system is presented by the direct Lyapunov function method. It is shown that the system output asymptotically converges to zero in the presence of mismatched nonvanishing disturbances without the requirement of solving any partial differential equations involved with the traditional output regulation theory. An application design example of a single‐machine infinite‐bus system with static var compensator is presented with simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Positive state‐bounding observer for positive interval continuous‐time systems with time delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of positive observer synthesis for positive systems with both interval parameter uncertainties and time delay. Conventional observers may no longer be applicable for such kind of systems due to the positivity constraint on the observers, and they only provide an estimate of the system state in an asymptotic way. A pair of positive observers with state‐bounding feature is proposed to estimate the state of positive systems at all times in this paper. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of desired observers is first established, and the observer matrices can be obtained easily through the solutions of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, to reduce the error signal between the system state and its estimates, an iterative LMI algorithm is developed to compute the optimized state‐bounding observer matrices. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness and applicability of the theoretical results. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
