Disturbance Minimization Techniques for Linear, Time-Invariant Dynamical Systems
Abstract
The objective of this research effort is to compile, refine and extend Disturbance Minimization Control design techniques for linear, time- invariant, regulation and servo-tracking systems. In addition, a collection of example problems are worked-out in detail to illustrate the design techniques and simulation results are used to demonstrate the performance of the resulting controllers. The results of this effort are presented in four parts. Part I, encompassing Chapters I and II, presents a review of the general theory of Disturbance Minimizing Control design techniques, including the ideas of disturbance modeling and control allocation. Several extant methods for minimization of disturbance effects are introduced. Part II, encompassing Chapters III-V, presents an in-depth coverage of methods for designing control parts to effect desired disturbance minimization, for state and output set-point regulation/stabilization and state and output servo-tracking type problems. Part III, encompassing Chapter VI, presents the conclusions and recommendations for further study. Part IV, consisting of Appendices A-G, contains a review of the concept of a matrix generalized inverse and provides detailed examples of disturbance minimizing control design which illustrate techniques presented in Parts I and II.
