Adaptive performance enhancement by iterative identification and control design

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper we combine adaptation and robust control by an iterative scheme of system identification and control design. A nominal model is identified for robust control design and the controller is applied to the plant to gather new data for an update of the nominal model. Our objective is to improve the plant performance with every iteration right from the start. We tackle this problem with frequency domain identification and a control design method that optimizes robustness against coprime factor perturbations. Our approach is illustrated by simulated and practical examples.
