This paper proposes a new approach to the problem of designing optimal proportional-integralderivative (PID) controllers that minimize an H 2 norm associated with the set-point response subjected to a constraint on the H ∞ norm of disturbance rejection. The proposed design approach consists of constructing the feasible domain in the controller gain space and searching over the domain for the optimal gain values of minimizing the H 2 -norm objective function. The construction of the feasible domain that satisfies the requirements of closed-loop stability and H ∞ -norm constraint is achieved through analytic characterization of the domain boundary with the notion of principal points associated with the value set of a differentiable mapping. The constructed feasible domain saves greatly on the computational effort requied to search for the H 2 -optimal controller gain values that satisfy both the stability and disturbance rejection requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
