Disturbance rejection by acceleration feedforward: Application to dynamic positioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses environmental disturbance rejection in dynamic systems by means of acceleration feedforward. A feedforward structure calculates the environmental force and magnitude by comparing the filtered acceleration measurement with the acceleration due to actuation and known forces. Direct compensation of the environment by feedforward will alleviate the position and velocity feedback terms. The presented scheme compensates environmental disturbances affecting the system in addition to model uncertainties. First, the design is used for a mechanical system and illustrated for an inverted pendulum. Then, the main application, being a dynamic positioning system affected by ice forces in an Arctic operation, is controlled by acceleration feedforward to give enhanced performance.

Accurate control of ball screw drives using pole-placement vibration damping and a novel trajectory prefilter
This paper presents a pole-placement technique to achieve active vibration damping, as well as high bandwidth disturbance rejection and positioning, in ball screw drives. The pole-placement approach is simple and effective, with an intuitive physical interpretation, which makes the tuning process straightforward in comparison to existing controllers which actively compensate for structural vibr...

A feedforward control based on neural networks to attenuate the effect of external vibrations on the positioning accuracy of hard disk drives (HDDs) is presented. The adaptive neural network compensator utilises accelerometer signals to detect external vibrations. No information on the plant, sensor and disturbance dynamics is needed in the design of the adaptive neural network compensator. The...

A gain-scheduled trajectory control is exemplary presented for two of six available axes of an overhead crane that allows for positioning and inclining the crane load according to specified trajectories. Besides its tracking capabilities, the proposed control provides an active oscillation damping. The overall control structure consists of independent axis controllers, which are adapted to meas...
متن کاملRobust design of independent joint controllers with experimentation on a high-speed parallel robot
The dynamic model of a robot manipulator is described by a set of nonlinear, highly coupled differential equations. Model-based control schemes were proposed to enhance tracking capabilities with respect to simple linear control schemes. Independent joint controllers (of PD or PID type) are usually employed in industrial robot manipulators but cannot achieve satisfactory performance due to thei...
