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.     

Composite adaptive anti-disturbance control for MIMO nonlinearly parameterized systems with mismatched general periodic disturbances

In this paper, the problem of anti-disturbance control for a class of multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) nonlinearly parameterized systems with mismatched general periodic disturbances is investigated via a composite adaptive anti-disturbance control scheme. The composite adaptive anti-disturbance control method is presented by using disturbance observer technique, back-stepping method and adaptive control approach. A novel disturbance observer is designed to estimate the disturbances generated by a linear system with nonlinear output function. Rigorous stability analysis for the augmented closed-loop system is developed by direct Lyapunov stability theory. It is shown that the system outputs asymptotically converge to zero in the presence of mismatched general periodic disturbances. Finally, a simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

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.

Composite disturbance-observer-based control and terminal sliding mode control for non-linear systems with disturbances

A novel type of control scheme combining the disturbance-observer-based control (DOBC) with terminal sliding mode (TSM) control is proposed for a class of multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) continuous non-linear systems subject to disturbances. The disturbances are supposed to include two parts. One in the input channel is generated by an exogenous system with uncertainty, which can represent the harmonic signals with modelling perturbations. The other is supposed to have the bounded H ₂ norm. The disturbance observers based on regional pole placement and D-stability theory are presented, which can be constructed separately from the controller design. By integrating DOBC with TSM control laws, the disturbances can be rejected and attenuated, simultaneously, and the desired dynamic performances can be guaranteed for non-linear systems in finite time with known and unknown non-linear dynamics, respectively. Two simulation examples for a flight control system and a hard disk drive actuator are given respectively to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes compared with the previous schemes.     

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.

Finite‐time tracking control for a class of nonlinear systems with multiple mismatched disturbances

This article investigates the finite‐time output tracking problem for a class of nonlinear systems with multiple mismatched disturbances. To efficiently estimate the disturbances and their derivatives, a continuous finite‐time disturbance observer (CFTDO) design method is developed. Based on the modified adding a power integrator method and CFTDO technique, a composite tracking controller is constructed such that the system output can track the desired reference signal in finite time. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.     

High‐order mismatched disturbance rejection control for small‐scale unmanned helicopter via continuous nonsingular terminal sliding‐mode approach

In this paper, the problem of finite‐time control for small‐scale unmanned helicopter system with high‐order mismatched disturbance is investigated via continuous nonsingular terminal sliding‐mode control approach. The key idea is to design a novel nonlinear dynamic sliding‐mode surface based on finite‐time disturbance observer. Then, the finite‐time convergence and chattering attenuation capability is guaranteed by the continuous nonsingular terminal sliding‐mode control law. Additionally, rigorous finite‐time stability analysis for the closed‐loop helicopter system is given by means of the Lyapunov theory. Finally, some simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and predominant properties of the proposed control method for the small‐scale unmanned helicopter even in the presence of high‐order mismatched disturbance.     

Quasi-finite-time control for high-order nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbances via mapping filtered forwarding technique

In this study, a quasi-finite-time control method for designing stabilising control laws is developed for high-order strict-feedback nonlinear systems with mismatched disturbances. By using mapping filtered forwarding technique, a virtual control is designed to force the off-the-manifold coordinate to converge to zero in quasi-finite time at each step of the design; at the same time, the manifold is rendered insensitive to time-varying, bounded and unknown disturbances. In terms of standard forwarding methodology, the algorithm proposed here not only does not require the Lyapunov function for controller design, but also avoids to calculate the derivative of sign function. As far as the dynamic performance of closed-loop systems is concerned, we essentially obtain the finite-time performances, which is typically reflected in the following aspects: fast and accurate responses, high tracking precision, and robust disturbance rejection. Spring, mass, and damper system and flexible joints robot are tested to demonstrate the proposed controller performance.

针对一类含不匹配干扰的非线性系统的控制问题, 基于递归化方案得到鲁棒或自适应控制律是常见的设计思路, 如反步法及其衍生控制策略等. 然而, 递归设计的控制律通常由含多偏微分项的多个虚拟控制器组成, 形式复杂的同时, 控制参数选取也较为困难, 易出现“复杂性爆炸”的问题, 因此较难得到广泛的工程应用. 同时, 因递归设计处理系统的非线性与不确定性的差异较大, 难以实现鲁棒/自适应控制的本质性融合. 本文从一个新颖的非递归控制角度出发, 提出了一个能够融合鲁棒/自适应控制策略的设计框架, 实现系统在不匹配受扰情形下的无静差跟踪. 仅通过一步坐标变换, 在等价的可镇定系统框架下, 根据实际工况来灵活切换合适的控制增益, 为工程师同时提供了两个可供选择的控制方案. 相较于已有算法, 本文所提控制器形式简洁易实现, 参数易调节, 适用范围广. 案例分析与实例仿真验证阐明了所提方法的简洁性及有效性, 并给出了一体化控制器工作模式的选取原则.     

Composite disturbance-observer-based control and terminal sliding mode control for uncertain structural systems

A new type of composite control scheme of disturbance-observer-based control and terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) is proposed for uncertain structural systems. The disturbance are supposed to include two parts. One is generated by an exogenous system, which can represent the harmonic signals with modelling perturbations in structural system. The other part is external excitation in H ₂-norm context. The disturbance observers based on regional pole placement and D-stability theory are presented, which can be designed separately from the controller design. By integrating the disturbance observer with TSMC law, the disturbance with the exogenous system can be estimated and compensated, and external excitation can be attenuated in finite time. Finally, simulations for a four-degree-of-freedom building model excited by 1940 El Centro earthquake excitation are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach and compare the proposed results with the previous schemes with accuracy.

Adaptive disturbance observer‐based control for stochastic systems with multiple heterogeneous disturbances

Antidisturbance control problem is discussed for stochastic systems with multiple heterogeneous disturbances, which include the white noise and the disturbance with unknown frequencies and amplitudes. An adaptive disturbance observer is designed to estimate the disturbance with unknown frequencies and amplitudes, based on which, an adaptive disturbance observer‐based control scheme is proposed by combining adaptive technique and linear matrix inequality method. It is proved that the closed‐loop system is asymptotically bounded in mean square when multiple heterogeneous disturbances exist simultaneously and that the equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable in probability as additive disturbance disappears. Finally, two simulation examples, including a wind turbine system, are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Rejection of mismatched disturbances for systems with input delay via a predictive extended state observer

The problem of output stabilization and disturbance rejection for input‐delayed systems is tackled in this work. First, a suitable transformation is introduced to translate mismatched disturbances into an equivalent input disturbance. Then, an extended state observer is combined with a predictive observer structure to obtain a future estimation of both the state and the disturbance. A disturbance model is assumed to be known but attenuation of unmodeled components is also considered. The stabilization is proved via Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals, leading to sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities for the closed‐loop analysis and parameter tuning. The proposed strategy is illustrated through a numerical example.

Distributed finite-time trajectory tracking control for multiple nonholonomic mobile robots with uncertainties and external disturbances

This paper investigates the distributed finite-time trajectory tracking control for a group of nonholonomic mobile robots with time-varying unknown parameters and external disturbances. At first, the tracking error system is derived for each mobile robot with the aid of a global invertible transformation, which consists of two subsystems, one is a first-order subsystem and another is a second-order subsystem. Then, the two subsystems are studied respectively, and finite-time disturbance observers are proposed for each robot to estimate the external disturbances. Meanwhile, distributed finite-time tracking controllers are developed for each mobile robot such that all states of each robot can reach the desired value in finite time, where the desired reference value is assumed to be the trajectory of a virtual leader whose information is available to only a subset of the followers, and the followers are assumed to have only local interaction. The effectiveness of the theoretical results is finally illustrated by numerical simulations.     

Low dimensional disturbance observer‐based control for nonlinear parabolic PDE systems with spatio‐temporal disturbances

In this paper, a design problem of low dimensional disturbance observer‐based control (DOBC) is considered for a class of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems with the spatio‐temporal disturbance modeled by an infinite dimensional exosystem of parabolic PDE. Motivated by the fact that the dominant structure of the parabolic PDE is usually characterized by a finite number of degrees of freedom, the modal decomposition method is initially applied to both the PDE system and the PDE exosystem to derive a low dimensional slow system and a low dimensional slow exosystem, which accurately capture the dominant dynamics of the PDE system and the PDE exosystem, respectively. Then, the definition of input‐to‐state stability for the PDE system with the spatio‐temporal disturbance is given to formulate the design objective. Subsequently, based on the derived slow system and slow exosystem, a low dimensional disturbance observer (DO) is constructed to estimate the state of the slow exosystem, and then a low dimensional DOBC is given to compensate the effect of the slow exosystem in order to reject approximately the spatio‐temporal disturbance. Then, a design method of low dimensional DOBC is developed in terms of linear matrix inequality to guarantee that not only the closed‐loop slow system is exponentially stable in the presence of the slow exosystem but also the closed‐loop PDE system is input‐to‐state stable in the presence of the spatio‐temporal disturbance. Finally, simulation results on the control of temperature profile for catalytic rod demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Command filter-based finite-time adaptive tracking control for MIMO dynamic systems with external disturbances and prescribed performance constraints

This paper investigates command filter-based finite-time stability of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) dynamic systems with prescribed performance constraints and external disturbances. A novel finite-time differentiator is introduced into command filter-based control scheme, which improves transient performance of each subsystem. Meanwhile, disturbance observers are utilized to eliminate negative effects on control system caused by external disturbances. Furthermore, featured with a selected performance function, it can be guaranteed that tracking errors remain in prescribed performance region. Stability analysis of the proposed controller is presented by using a Lyapunov function including transformed filter errors, parameter errors of neural networks, and observed errors of lumped disturbances. Effectiveness of proposed control method is verified by a numerical example and a practical system of inverted pendulums, respectively.
