Frequency Response Data Based LPV Controller Synthesis Applied to a Control Moment Gyroscope

Abstract

Control of systems with operating conditiondependent dynamics, including control moment gyroscopes, often requires operating condition-dependent controllers to achieve high control performance. The aim of this paper is to develop a frequency response data-driven linear parameter-varying control design approach for single-input single-output systems, which allows improved performance for a control moment gyroscope. A stability theory using closed-loop frequency response function data is developed, which is subsequently used in a synthesis procedure that guarantees local stability and performance. Experimental results on a control moment gyroscope demonstrate the performance improvements.
