An ℋ︁∞ control system design method for parameter sensitivity reduction

Abstract

AbstractThere are two types of uncertainty in a system to be controlled: parameter errors and unstructured uncertainty. Conventional ℋ︁∞ control synthesis in the presence of unstructured uncertainty has been developed on the basis of frequency‐domain criteria using the state‐space method. It is difficult to consider the sensitivity to parameter errors in the frequency domain, however. In this paper, the authors propose an ℋ︁∞ controller design method which can cope with parameter errors by introducing a trajectory sensitivity model into the conventional ℋ︁∞ controller design method. It is also shown that the obtained controller is equivalent to a dynamic state feedback controller whose order becomes high. Thus, controller reduction is adopted.
