Controller design using linear programming for systems with constraints Part 3 Design examples

摘要

This three-part article reviews the techniques used to design controllers, employing linear programming, that minimise the maximum amplitude of selected signals. These controllers can satisfy design specifications for saturation characteristics on amplitude or rate. It is shown also how given an existing linear controller it is possible to check if, for a given set of typical inputs whether the signal would exceed its maximum amplitude or rate. This is very useful from a practical point of view. The first part (December 2001) gave a Tutorial introduction to the topic. The second part (February 2002) reviewed Controller design. This third part illustrates some design examples.
