A Study on Optimal Compensation Design for Meteorological Satellites in the Presence of Periodic Disturbance

Abstract

Featured Application: This work may be used to improve the accuracy of attitude stability of flexible meteorological satellites.Abstract: Periodic disturbance may cause serious effects on the attitude of meteorological satellites, and the attenuation of periodic disturbance is required. In this paper, a fundamental study on the optimal design of constant compensations against known-law periodic disturbance for meteorological satellites is investigated. An analytical solution for the relationship between the frequency and amplitude ratios and the response of a typical second-order vibration system is firstly derived. The compensation and disturbance torques are determined according to practical engineering. The criteria for designing the optimal compensations are based on the analytical and simulation results. Then, the criteria are applied to a flexible spacecraft actuated by constant control torque in the presence of sustained periodic disturbance. The optimal compensation torque parameters for spacecraft are acquired based on former criteria. The compensate effectiveness of the optimal compensation torque is provided and compared with results of other selections in the frequency and amplitude ratio domain. Numerical simulation results and experimental results clearly demonstrate the good performance of proposed criteria. This work provides a significant reference for the vibration attenuation of meteorological satellites in the present of periodic disturbance.

Optimization Provenance of Whiplash Compensation for Flexible Space Robotics

“…This flexible plant's state space matrices in Table 6 and Equations (31) and (32) display anti-resonances/resonance pairs that occur at discrete natural frequencies. These illustrate an improvement to Figure 11b in [37], which lacks the anti-resonances generated by inclusion of the free-free vibration mode in the dynamics (thus the extensive development of the dynamic equations here).…”

“…To validate this claim, reviews of classical compensators [35] and frequency domain shaping filters [36] were performed by Wie and Agrawal, respectively. Xu et al [37] studied optimized compensator designs, but the dynamics were cantilever vibration modes, neglecting the so-called "free-free" dynamics illustrated by anti-resonance/resonance pairs in the frequency domain. "Free-free" refers to the fact that both ends of the vibrating structure are free to vibrate (e.g., in space, suspended in the atmosphere, etc.).…”

Vibration Suppression Trajectory Planning of Underwater Flexible Manipulators Based on Incremental Kriging-Assisted Optimization Algorithm

“…Guo et al proposed a residual vibration suppression method for Delta robots based on input shaping technology [10]. Xu et al proposed a compensation method; this method is based on the analytical solution of a second-order vibration system and designs compensation torque to suppress vibration [11]. Sands designed a whiplash compensator for flexible space robots, which had zero residual vibration at the end of the maneuver [12].…”

“…In the section on spacecraft vehicles and satellites, the first paper is concerned with the vibration attenuation of meteorological satellites in the presence of periodic disturbances, leveraging on an optimal design of constant compensations against known-law periodic disturbances [2]. The methodology proposed is applied to a flexible spacecraft actuated by constant control torque in the presence of sustained periodic disturbances.…”
