Output feedback control with H_∞ performance for saturated linear systems with magnitude and rate constraints

摘要

The dynamic behaviour of controlled systems depend significantly on the allowable magnitude and change rate of the control efforts, which need to be considered during controller design. The controller design algorithm investigated in this paper can independently address both the magnitude and rate constraints and their effect on actuator dynamics. The integral dynamics are augmented to the systems actuator. The original control effort is formulated as new states in the augmented dynamics formulation, and the inputs of the integrator represent the rate of the control effort. The feedback gain is then designed to obtain suitable actuator dynamics such that the desired H_∞ performance can be optimized and the magnitude of the rate constraints can be satisfied. Using satellite attitude control and aircraft longitudinal control as case studies, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through achievable H_∞ performance and time response simulations with various chosen constraints on the magnitude and rate of the control.
