Design and Analysis of Model Following Control Structure with Nonlinear Plant

摘要

Linearization methods of the object: input-state and input-output linearization are usually used in a standard feedback control system. However, these systems are sensitive to the changes of the nonlinear characteristics of the plant. These changes can be compensated with two types of control systems: the model following control (MFC) and adaptive. The article presents the first solution and contains: miscellaneous structures of linear control systems with model following, a brief description of linearization's methods, simulation example of the course control of vessel and the advantages of this solution.
