Abstract:In this paper, we consider an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) with convection and diffusion in the actuation path. We prove that a prediction-based controller, designed to compensate for the sole convective PDE, actually achieves exponential stabilization of the complete plant, provided that diffusion is small enough. Our result is obtained in L p norm and covers two cases, full-state feedback and boundary feedback. Simulation results emphasize the validity of this approach.
“…Large delays often lead to closed-loop instability if they are not taken into account, and limit the achievable performance of conventional controllers [2]. More recently, the ability to manipulate flow properties has also become a question of major technological importance, in which convection (hyperbolic PDE dynamics) and/or diffusion (parabolic PDE dynamics) occur [3]. Topics on compensating infinite-dimensional actuator dynamics are introduced in [4].…”
This paper deals with robust observer-based outputfeedback stabilization of systems whose actuator dynamics can be described in terms of partial differential equations (PDEs). More specifically, delay dynamics (first-order hyperbolic PDE) and diffusive dynamics (parabolic PDE) are considered. The proposed controllers have a PDE observer-based structure. The main novelty is that stabilization for an arbitrarily large delay or diffusion domain length is achieved, while distributed integral terms in the control law are avoided. The exponential stability of the closed-loop in both cases is proved using Lyapunov functionals, even in the presence of small uncertainties in the time delay or the diffusion coefficient. The feasibility of this approach is illustrated in simulations using a second-order plant with an exponentially unstable mode.
