  • Extremum-Seeking Control for the Adaptive Design of Variable Gain Controllers
    IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Bram Hunnekens, N. Van De Wouw, Antonio Di Dino, Niels Van Dijk, Henk Nijmeijer
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate an extremum-seeking control strategy for nonlinear systems with periodic steady-state outputs, for the adaptive design of variable-Gain Controllers. Variable-Gain control can balance the tradeoff between low-frequency disturbance suppression and sensitivity to high-frequency noise in a more desirable manner than linear Controllers can. However, the optimal performance-based tuning of the variable-Gain Controller parameters is far from trivial, and depends on the unknown disturbances acting on the system. The extremum-seeking Controller only utilizes output measurements of the plant, and can therefore be used to optimally design the parameters of the variable Gain Controller, without using direct information on the disturbances acting on the system. Experimental results are presented for the performance-optimal tuning of a variable-Gain Controller applied to a magnetically levitated industrial motion control setup performing tracking motions. The influence of the different parameter choices on the performance of the extremum-seeking Controller is illustrated through experiments.

  • ACC - Model-based piecewise affine variable-Gain Controller synthesis
    2013 American Control Conference, 2013
    Co-Authors: Bram Hunnekens, Mf Marcel Heertjes, N. Van De Wouw, Henk Nijmeijer
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we introduce piecewise affine variable-Gain Controllers as a means to improve performance compared to linear Controllers. Variable-Gain Controllers can improve upon the tradeoff between low-frequency tracking and sensitivity to high-frequency disturbances. However, performance-based tuning of the variable-Gain Controllers, is far from trivial. The piecewise affine control structure introduced in this paper allows to synthesize the shape of the variable-Gain Controller, by means of model-based optimization of a certain performance objective. Subsequently, this allows the Controller design to be tuned for the disturbance situation at hand while optimizing performance. The proposed nonlinear performance-based Controller synthesis strategy is applied to a model of a wafer stage of a wafer scanner.

  • CDC - Steady-state performance optimization for variable-Gain motion control using extremum seeking
    2012 IEEE 51st IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2012
    Co-Authors: Bram Hunnekens, N. Van De Wouw, Mark Haring, Henk Nijmeijer
    Abstract:

    In this paper, we employ an extremum-seeking control strategy for steady-state performance optimization of variable-Gain Controllers for linear motion systems. Variable-Gain control can balance the tradeoff between low-frequency disturbance suppression and sensitivity to high-frequency noise in a more desirable manner than linear Controllers can. However, the optimal performance-based tuning of the variable-Gain Controller parameters is far from trivial. A model-based performance optimization method would require an accurate disturbance model, which may be hard to obtain in practice. The extremum-seeking Controller proposed here does not require any plant- or disturbance model and therewith circumvents this difficulty. To illustrate the results, the variable-Gain Controller of a short-stroke wafer stage of a wafer scanner is optimized using extremum-seeking control.

  • Multi-variable iterative tuning of a variable Gain Controller with application to a scanning stage system
    Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference, 2011
    Co-Authors: Mf Marcel Heertjes, Tufan Tepe, Henk Nijmeijer
    Abstract:

    Toward improved performance of fast and nano-accurate motion systems an iterative tuning procedure for the parameters of a variable Gain Controller is presented. Under constrained optimization, optimal values for the variable Gain parameters are found by minimizing a quadratic function of the servo error signals in a representative sampled-data interval. An effective method for improved performances is demonstrated on a scanning stage system, using a combined model/data based approach in obtaining the gradients with respect to the parameters to be optimized.

  • stochastic stability analysis and l Gain Controller design for positive markov jump systems with time varying delays
    Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, 2016
    Co-Authors: Shuo Li, Zhengrong Xiang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper is concerned with stochastic stability analysis and L ∞ -Gain (also called L ∞ -induced norm) Controller design for positive Markov jump systems (MJSs) in continuous-time context by means of a linear programming (LP) technique. Firstly, by introducing an equivalent deterministic positive continuous-time linear system, we propose necessary and sufficient conditions of stochastic stability with a prescribed L ∞ -Gain performance in LP form for the underlying system. Then based on the obtained results, an effective method for designing a desired L ∞ -Gain Controller is established. All the proposed conditions are solvable in terms of LP with additional parameters. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the present method.

  • stability and l1 Gain Controller design for positive switched systems with mixed time varying delays
    Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2013
    Co-Authors: Shuo Li, Zhengrong Xiang, Hamid Reza Karimi
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates the problems of stability and L"1-Gain Controller design for positive switched systems with mixed time-varying delays. The mixed time-varying delays are presented in the forms of discrete delay and distributed delay. The purpose of this paper is to design a class of switching signals and a state feedback Controller for the considered system such that the resulting closed-loop system is exponentially stable with L"1-Gain performance. By constructing an appropriate co-positive type Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and using the average dwell time approach, we propose a sufficient condition to ensure the exponential stability with weighted L"1-Gain performance for the system. On the basis of the obtained results, an effective method for designing such Controller is established. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the results obtained.
