Robust Controller Design using Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT)

چکیده
Most of the practical systems are characterized by high uncertainty which makes it difficult to maintain good stability margins and performance properties for closed loop system. In case of conventional control, if plant parameter changes we cannot assure about the system performance hence it is necessary to design robust control for uncertain plant. Among the various strategies proposed to tackle this problem, Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) has proved its superiority especially in the face of significant parametric uncertainty. The feature of QFT is that it can take care of large parametric uncertainty along with phase information. For the purpose of QFT, the feedback system is normally described by the two-degrees-of freedom structure. A chemical system common to many chemical processing plants, known as a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). For an isothermal CSTR the product concentration can be controlled by manipulating the feed flow rate,which changes the residence time.

This paper evaluates a new and simple controller design method based on QFT (quantitative feedback theory) for a two-link manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second is flexible. A piezoelectric patch is attached to the surface of the flexible link for vibration suppression of it. This system is modeled as a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control systems whose inputs are two...

When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the unce...
