What is Controls?

What Is Controls? r eu didi dodo K P n y Controller Plant Design K s.t. closed loop system exhibits stability and high performance. (Want y = r) - P : Physical System/Process to be Controlled - K : System to be Designed actual outputdesired output controlerror sensor noise disturbances

Example: Vehicle Cruise Control P - Vehicle r - Speed reference command (desired speed) y - Actual speed u - Fuel flow to engine K - Controller –Want y = r –Actual speed to follow speed commands

Issues Nonlinear Dynamics –Ordinary/partial differential equations –Saturating actuators (hard control limits); Rate limits Noninvertible Dynamics –Instabilities (unbounded solutions, characteristic roots in open right half plane) –Time delays and other lag effects Uncertainty – only nominal models are available –Dynamic Actuator and sensor dynamics High frequency parasitics –Structural modes (e.g. flexible spacecraft); Time delays (e.g. CVD furnace) –Parametric: Masses, aerodynamic coefficients, friction coefficients, etc. –Stochastic Disturbances and Sensor Noise Amplitude, mean, variance, and spectral content Digital Implementation Issues –Sampling and actuation rates –Analog-to-digital and Digital-to-analog - speed, resolution, quantization/reconstruction error –Measurement noise, time delays (phase lag), and nonlinearities Research: Need Systematic Control System Design Methodology

Modeling, Simulation, Analysis - Determination of Realistic Design Specifications Design Control System (via Model-Based Optimization) - typically on the basis of linearized models - gain scheduling (“glue” control design together) Evaluate design using hi-fidelity simulator Design Implementation (Rapid prototyping) - computer, microprocessor, DSP, FPGAs Hardware Evaluation NOTE: Control system design process is highly iterative!

EXTRA SLIDES

Result 1 Problem Solved –Given an plant P (possibly infinite-dimensional) described by a linear time invariant (LTI) model, how can we approximate it by a finite-dimensional model P n to ensure that the resulting optimization-based control design K n stabilizes P and meets an apriori performance tolerance? Solution based on convexification of the problem; can exploit convex optimization (e.g. polynomial-time interior point algorithms) Applications: Semiconductor processes, flexible structures, aerospace

Result 2 Problem Solved –Given a controller K which offers acceptable global performance for external commands, disturbances, and sensor noise, how can we modify it to accommodate actuator control limits and other hard limits? Solution exploits ideas from the theory of non- differentiable Lyapunov functions Applications: Aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, robotic systems
