Abstract

In this paper a new approach for fixed-structure H2 controller design in terms of solutions to a set of linear matrix inequalities are given. Both discrete- and continuous-time single-input single-output (SISO) time- invariant systems are considered. Then the results are extended to systems with polytopic uncertainty. The presented methods are based on an inner convex approximation of the non-convex set of fixed-structure H2 controllers. The designed procedures initialized either with a stable polynomial or with a stabilizing controller. An iterative procedure for robust controller design is given that converges to a suboptimal solution. The monotonic decreasing of the upper bound on the H2 norm is established theoretically for both nominal and robust controller design.

Fixed-Order H-infinity Controller Design via Convex Optimization Using an Alternative to Youla Prameterization

Alireza Karimi, Hamid Khatibi

All H-infinity controllers of a SISO LTI system are parameterized thanks to the relation between Bounded Real Lemma and Positive Real Lemma and a new concept of strict positive realness of two transfer functions with the same Lyapunov matrix in the matrix inequality of the Kalman-Yakubovic-Popov lemma. This new parameterization shares the same features with Youla parameterization, namely on the convexity of H-infinity norm constraints for the closed-loop transfer functions. However, in contrary to Youla parameterization, it can deal with any controller order and any controller structure such as e.g. PID. The main feature of the proposed method is that it can be extended easily for the systems with polytopic uncertainty. This way, a convex inner approximation of all H-infinity controllers for polytopic systems is given, which can be enlarged by increasing the controller order. In order to design a low-order robust H-infinity controller with less conservatism, rank of the k-th Sylvester resultant matrix of the controller is made to be deficient via a convex approximation of the rank minimization problem. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown via simulation results.

Fixed-order Controller Design for State Space Polytopic Systems by Convex Optimization

Alireza Karimi

In this paper, a new method for fixed-order controller design of systems with polytopic uncertainty in their state space representation is proposed. The approach uses the strictly positive realness (SPRness) of some transfer functions, as a tool to decouple the controller parameters and the Lyapunov matrices and represent the stability conditions and the performance criteria by a set of linear matrix inequalities. The quality of this convex approximation depends on the choice of a central state matrix. It is shown that this central matrix can be computed from a set of initial fixed-order controllers computed for each vertex of the polytope. The stability of the closed-loop polytopic system is guaranteed by a linear parameter dependent Lyapunov matrix. The results are extended to fixed-order H infinity controller design for SISO systems.

This paper proposes a multivariable digital control design methodology for the voltage regulation of an islanded single distributed generation (DG) unit microgrid and its dedicated load. The controller design methodology is based on a family of spectral Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) models of the microgrid system and performs open-loop shaping and system decoupling simultaneously by a convex optimization approach. The control design procedure includes: (i) the determination of a family of nonparametric models of the system at various operating points, (ii) the determination of the class of the controller, and (iii) system open-loop shaping by convex minimization of the summation of the square second norm of the errors between the system open-loop transfer functions and a desired open-loop transfer function. Based on the proposed design methodology, two dq -augmented voltage controllers are proposed to regulate the load voltages of a single-DG-unit microgrid. The proposed controllers guarantee the robust stability and satisfactory dynamic response of the system in spite of load parametric uncertainties and also the presence of nonlinear load. This paper describes the theoretical aspects involved in the design procedure of the controllers and evaluates the performance of the controllers based on simulation studies and experiments.
