Disturbance feedforward control for active vibration isolation systems with internal isolator dynamics

摘要

This paper presents a disturbance feedforward control strategy for active vibration isolation systems that have internal isolator dynamics. The structure of the feedforward controller follows from modeling, but to achieve robust performance the tuning of the controller parameters will be based on measurement data. More specifically, the controller poles, which correspond to internal isolator dynamics, are obtained offline from system identification experiments, while the controller zeros are obtained from online self-tuning using measured sampled-data systems. Self-tuning is used to reduce parameter uncertainty when having too limited identification possibilities, and to account automatically for the effect of noise amplification. Measurement results obtained from an industrial vibration isolation system show that residual vibrations are largely reduced up to the level of output noise limitations. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
