Robust tracking control and signal estimation for networked control systemsZhang, Hui 22 June 2012 (has links)
Networked control systems (NCSs) are known as distributed control systems (DCSs) which are based on traditional feedback control systems but closed via a real-time communication channel. In an NCS, the control and feedback signals are exchanged among the system’s components in the form of information packages through the communication channel. The research of NCSs is important from the application perspective due to the significant advantages over the traditional point-to-point control. However, the insertion of the communication links would also bring challenges and constraints such as the network-induced delays, the missing packets, and the inter symbol interference (ISI) into the system design. In order to tackle these issues and move a step further toward industry applications, two important design problems are investigated in the control areas: Tracking Control (Chapter 2–Chapter 5) and Signal Estimation (Chapter 6–Chapter8). With the fact that more than 90% of control loops in industry are controlled by proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, the first work in this thesis aims to propose the design algorithm on PID controllers for NCSs. Such a design will not require the change or update of the existing industrial hardware, and it will enjoy the advantages of the NCSs. The second motivation is that, due to the network-induced constraints, there is no any existing work on tuning the PID gains for a general NCS with a state-space model. In Chapter 2, the PID tracking control for multi-variable NCSs subject to time-varying delays and packet dropouts is exploited. The H_infty control is employed to attenuate the load disturbance and the measurement noise. In Chapter 3, the probabilistic delay model is used to design the delay-scheduling
tracking controllers for NCSs. The tracking control strategy consists of two parts:
(1) the feedforward control can enhance the transient response, and (2) the feedback
control is the digital PID control. In order to compensate for the delays on both
communication links, the predictive control scheme is adopted.
To make full use of the delay information, it is better to use the Markov chain to
model the network-induced delays and the missing packets. A common assumption
on the Markov chain model in the literature is that the probability transition matrix is
precisely known. However, the assumption may not hold any more when the delay is
time-varying in a large set and the statistics information on the delays is inadequate.
In Chapter 4, it is assumed that the transition matrices are with partially unknown
elements. An observer-based robust energy-to-peak tracking controller is designed for
the NCSs. In Chapter 5, the step tracking control problem for the nonlinear NCSs is in-
vestigated. The nonlinear plant is represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy linear model. The control strategy is a modified PI control. With an augmentation technique, the tracking controller design problem is converted into an H_infty optimization problem. The controller parameters can be obtained by solving non-iterative linear
matrix inequality conditions. The state estimation problem for networked systems is explored in Chapter 6. At
the sensor node, the phenomenon of multiple intermittent measurements is considered
for a harsh sensing environment. It is assumed that the network-induced delay is time-
varying within a bounded interval. To deal with the delayed external input and the
non-delayed external input, a weighted H_infty performance is defined. A Lyapunov-
based method is employed to deal with the estimator design problem. When the
delay is not large, the system with delayed state can be transformed into delay-free
systems. By using the probabilistic delay model and the augmentation, the H_infty
filter design algorithm is proposed for networked systems in Chapter 7. Considering
the phenomenon of ISI, the signals transmitted over the communication link would
distort, that is, the output of the communication link is not the same with the input
to the communication link. If the phenomenon occurs in the NCSs, it is desired to
reconstruct the signal. In Chapter 8, a robust equalizer design algorithm is proposed
to reconstruct the input signal, being robust against the measurement noise and the
parameter variations. Finally, the conclusions of the dissertation are summarized and future research
topics are presented. / Graduate

Flight Dynamic Constraints in Conceptual Aircraft Multidisciplinary Analysis and Design OptimizationMorris, Craig C. 27 February 2014 (has links)
This work details the development of a stability and control module for implementation into a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) framework for the conceptual design of conventional and advanced aircraft. A novel approach, called the Variance Constrained Flying Qualities (VCFQ) approach, is developed to include closed-loop dynamic performance metrics in the design optimization process. The VCFQ approach overcomes the limitations of previous methods in the literature, which only functioned for fully decoupled systems with single inputs to the system. Translation of the modal parameter based flying qualities requirements into state variance upper bounds allows for multiple-input control laws which can guarantee upper bounds on closed-loop performance metrics of the aircraft states and actuators to be rapidly synthesized. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem formulation provides a general and scalable numerical technique for computing the feedback control laws using convex optimization tools. The VCFQ approach is exercised in a design optimization study of a relaxed static stability transonic transport aircraft, wherein the empennage assembly is optimized subject to both static constraints and closed-loop dynamic constraints. Under the relaxed static stability assumption, application of the VCFQ approach resulted in a 36% reduction in horizontal tail area and a 32% reduction in vertical tail area as compared to the baseline configuration, which netted a weight savings of approximately 5,200 lbs., a 12% reduction in cruise trimmed drag, and a static margin which was marginally stable or unstable throughout the flight envelope. State variance based dynamic performance constraints offer the ability to analyze large, highly coupled systems, and the linear matrix inequality problem formulation can be extended to include higher-order closed-loop design objectives within the MDO. Recommendations for further development and extensions of this approach are presented at the end. / This material is based on research sponsored by Air Force Research Laboratory under agreement number FA8650-09-2-3938.

Decentralized probabilistic density control of swarm of autonomous agents with conflict avoidance constraintsDemir, Nazlı 01 October 2014 (has links)
This report describes a method to control the density distribution of a large number of autonomous agents. The approach is based on the fact that there are a large number of agents in the system, and hence the time evolution of the probabilistic density distribution of agents can be described as a Markov chain. The main contribution of this paper is the synthesis of a Markov matrix which will guide the multi-agent system density to a desired steady-state density distribution, in a probabilistic sense, while satisfying some motion and safety constraints. Also, an adaptive density control method based on real time density feedback is introduced to synthesize a time-varying Markov ma- trix, which leads to better convergence to the desired density distribution. Finally, a decentralized density computation method is described. This method guarantees that all agents will have a best, and common, density estimate in a finite, with an explicit bound, number of communication updates. / text

Some Results on Reset Control systems / Sur la stabilité des systèmes à réinitialisationLoquen, Thomas 07 May 2010 (has links)
Les contrôleurs à réinitialisation sont une classe de systèmes hybrides dont la valeur de tout ou partie des états peut être instantannément modifiée sous certaines conditions algébriques. Cette interaction entre dynamique temps-continu et temps-discret de ces contrôleurs permet souvent de dépasser les limites des contrôleurs temps-continu. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons des conditions constructives (sous forme d’Inégalités Matricielles Linéaires) pour analyser la stabilité et les performances de boucle de commande incluant un contrôleur à réinitialisation. En particulier, nous prenons en compte la présence de saturation en amplitude des actionneurs du système. Ces non-linéarités sont souvent source d'une dégradation des performances voir d’instabilité. Les résultats proposés permettent d’estimer le domaine de stabilité et un niveau de performance pour ces systèmes, en s’appuyant sur des fonctions de Lyapunov quadratiques ou quadratiques par morceaux. Au delà de l'aspect analyse, nous exposons deux approches pour améliorer la région de stabilité (nouvelle loi de réinitialisation et stratégie « anti-windup »). / Hybrid controllers are flexible tools for achieving system stabilization and/or performance improvement tasks. More particularly, hybrid controllers enrich the spectrum of achievable trade-offs. Indeed, the interaction of continuous- and discrete-time dynamics in a hybrid controller leads to rich dynamical behavior and phenomena not encountered in purely continuous-time system. Reset control systems are a class of hybrid controllers whose states are reset depending on an algebraic condition. In this thesis, we propose constructive conditions (Linear Matrix Inequalities) to analyze stability and performance level of a closed-loop system including a reset element. More particularly, we consider a magnitude saturation which could be the source of undesirable effects on these performances, including instability. Proposed results estimate the stability domain and a performance level of such a system, by using Lyapunov-like approaches. Constructive algorithms are obtained by exploiting properties of quadratic - or piecewise quadratic - Lyapunov functions. Beyond analysis results, we propose design methods to obtain a stability domain as large as possible. Design methods are based on both continuous-time approaches (anti-windup compensator) and hybrid-time approaches (design of adapted reset rules).

Contribution à la synthèse de lois de commande pour les systèmes de type Takagi-Sugeno et/ou hybrides interconnectés / Contribution on the control law synthesis's of Takagi-Sugeno and/or hybrid interconnected systemsJabri, Dalel 01 December 2011 (has links)
Les travaux de cette thèse portent sur la stabilisation des systèmes non linéaires à grandes dimensions. Il s’agit de décomposer le système de grandes dimensions en un ensemble de n sous-systèmes interconnectés. Ensuite, en tenant compte de la nature des sous-systèmes, un ensemble de lois de commande décentralisées, composée de n lois de commande locale, peut être synthétisé. Ainsi, chaque loi de commande locale est associée à un sous-système et permet de le stabiliser indépendamment des autres sous-systèmes. Trois classes de systèmes sont ainsi traitées dans le cadre de cette thèse : les systèmes non linéaires interconnectés et les systèmes hybrides interconnectés (linéaires ou non linéaires).Premièrement, on s’est intéressé à l’étude de la stabilisation des systèmes non linéaires interconnectés représentées par des multi-modèles de type Takagi-Sugeno (TS). En effet, un multi-modèle TS permet de représenter un système non linéaire affine par un ensemble de modèles linéaires interconnectés par des fonctions non linéaires. Afin de réduire le conservatisme des approches quadratiques de Lyapunov existantes, de nouvelles conditions écrites sous forme d’inégalités linéaires matricielles (LMI) ont été proposées sur la base d’une fonction non quadratique de Lyapunov candidate. Ces conditions permettent ainsi la synthèse des contrôleurs TS décentralisés proposés. Dans le but d’étendre les résultats obtenus au cas des systèmes non linéaires et hybrides de grandes dimensions, on s’est ensuite intéressé à l’étude de la stabilisation des systèmes linéaires à commutations interconnectés via l’emploi de fonctions multiples de Lyapunov. Enfin, des conditions de stabilisation pour les systèmes non linéaires interconnectés à commutations, composés de sous-systèmes TS à commutations, ont été proposées sous forme LMI. / This thesis focuses on the stabilization of nonlinear large scale systems. Hence, a global large scale systemcan be described by a set of n interconnected subsystems. Then, based on the subsystem’s nature, adecentralized control law, composed of a set of n local control law is proposed. Each local control law isable to stabilize the subsystem for which it is synthesized. In this thesis, three classes of dynamical systemsare considered : nonlinear interconnected systems, switched linear interconnected systems and switchednonlinear interconnected systems.First, based on Takagi Sugeno (TS) modeling, the decentralized stabilization of nonlinear interconnectedsystems has been studied. In order to relax quadratic Lyapunov approaches, one has considered nonquadratic Lyapunov functions. Then, based on multiple Lyapunov switched functions, the stabilization oflarge scale linear switched systems is proposed. Hence, a decentralized switched control law designmethodology has been developed to ensure the stability of the proposed class of hybrid systems. Finally,the stabilization of nonlinear switched interconnected systems as been considered such that each nonlinearsubsystem is described by a TS model.

New proposals are made from these analyses, and sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of these systems in the sense of Lyapunov are presented. The results obtained are based on LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequalities) and depend on the solutions of a set of Lyapunov-Metzler inequalities, that are usually difficult to solve. Then, conditions for stability based on a subclass of Metzler matrices that, when feasible, can be described by a set of LMIs with an unidimensional search, are presented. The proposed methods generalize the similar methods available in the literature, based on FLF, for the asymptotic stability of TS fuzzy systems

Identificação experimental e controle ativo de vibrações aplicadas em estruturas inteligentes /Palma, Paulo Henrique Tozoni. January 2007 (has links)
Orientador: Vicente Lopes Júnior / Banca: Gilberto Pechoto de Melo / Banca: Carlos Alberto Bavastri / Resumo: Neste trabalho é discutida a aplicação do controle ativo para atenuação de vibrações mecânicas em estruturas flexíveis. Como atuadores são utilizados os materiais piezelétricos, também conhecidos como materiais inteligentes. O projeto do controlador por realimentação de estados é desenvolvido utilizando a otimização H com restrições de projeto e, a solução matemática do problema é feita através de otimização convexa envolvendo Desigualdades Matriciais Lineares (LMIs). Os estados utilizados para realimentar o sistema são estimados por um observador. Para modelar a estrutura a ser controlada, duas técnicas de identificação experimental são aplicadas: o Algoritmo de Realização de Autosistemas e a Exponencial Complexa. A aquisição dos dados para o processo de identificação é feita para uma limitada faixa de freqüência, apenas para os primeiros modos de vibrar. Os exemplos de aplicação experimental são feitos em uma estrutura do tipo placa e em uma estrutura do tipo treliça. A robustez do projeto do controlador é garantida pelos diferentes métodos e procedimentos de identificação do sistema, obtendo-se mais de um modelo. / Abstract: In this work is discussed the application of active control to attenuation of mechanical vibrations in flexible structures. Piezoelectric materials are used as actuators, also known as smart materials. The controller design by state feedback is developed using the H optimization with project restrictions, where the mathematical solution of the problem is done by convex optimization involving Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The states used to feedback the system are estimated by an observer. Two experimental identification approaches are applied, in order to find the mathematical model of the structure: the Eigensysten Realization Algorithm and Complex Exponential. The data acquisition for the identification process is done in a limited frequency band, only including the first vibration modes. The examples of experimental application are done in two kinds of structures: plate and truss structures. The robustness of the controller design is guaranteed by different methods and procedures of identification of the system obtaining more than one model. / Mestre
