Pole Placement Design Using Convex Optimisation Criteria for the Flexible Transmission Benchmark

Abstract

This paper deals with the design of robust digital controllers by the combined pole placement/sensitivity function shaping method. It shows that the design problem can be formulated and solved as a convex optimisation problem. Specifications like dominant closed-loop poles or integration controller action may be introduced just as well as other fixed parts for the controller. The method is illustrated by the application to a benchmark of robust control of a flexible transmission system. Simulation results and real-time comparisons with previously designed controllers are presented.
