Comparison of the Application of Classical and Modern Control Design Techniques for Reduction of Disturbance Effects on a Second-Order, Linear, Time-Invariant Plant

摘要

This report presents a comparison between a disturbance compensator designed via classical control design techniques and a disturbance compensator designed via a modern control design technique, as applied to an example found in the literature. The classical compensator is analyzed. The modern control design technique is applied to the design of disturbance state models for two different disturbances and to the design of the composite state observers necessary for implementation of the compensator. The performance of each of the compensators in reducing disturbance effects in the plant output is investigated. (Author)
