Book High Performance  Robust Control of Flexible Space Structures

Download or read book High Performance Robust Control of Flexible Space Structures written by Mark S. Whorton and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many spacecraft systems have ambitious objectives that place stringent requirements in terms of pointing and vibration control systems. Because of the difficulty of obtaining accurate models for flexible space structures, limitations must be placed on performance in order to ensure stability. In some cases, to achieve sufficiently high performance to accomplish mission objectives will require the ability to refine the control design model based on closed-loop test data and tune the controller based on the refined model. The objective of this thesis is to develop a procedure for control system design which maximizes achievable performance with robust stability guarantees. Two facts of this dissertation are control design and system identification. A control design and system identification. A control design procedure is developed based on mixed H2/H[Infinite symbol] [subscript] optimization which is used to design a set of controllers which explicitly trade between nominal performance and robust stability. A homotopy algorithm is presented which generates a trajectory of gains along the boundary which trades between robustness and performance. This set of controllers may be implemented to determine the maximum achievable performance for a given model error bound. Examples are given which show that a better balance between robustness and performance is obtained using the mixed H2/H[Infinite symbol][subscript] design method than either H2 or ư-synthesis control design. A second contribution of this dissertation is a new procedure for closed-loop system identification. Using closed-loop response data, the parameters of a control design model in a canonical realization are refined. Examples are provided to demonstrate the convergence of the parameter esimation and improved performance realized by using the refined model for controller redesign. These developments result in an effective mechanism for achieving high performance control of flexible space structures.

Book excerpt: Many spacecraft systems have ambitious objectives that place stringent requirements on control systems. Achievable performance is often limited because of difficulty of obtaining accurate models for flexible space structures. To achieve sufficiently high performance to accomplish mission objectives may require the ability to refine the control design model based on closed-loop test data and tune the controller based on the refined model. A control system design procedure is developed based on mixed H2/H(infinity) optimization to synthesize a set of controllers explicitly trading between nominal performance and robust stability. A homotopy algorithm is presented which generates a trajectory of gains that may be implemented to determine maximum achievable performance for a given model error bound. Examples show that a better balance between robustness and performance is obtained using the mixed H2/H(infinity) design method than either H2 or mu-synthesis control design. A second contribution is a new procedure for closed-loop system identification which refines parameters of a control design model in a canonical realization. Examples demonstrate convergence of the parameter estimation and improved performance realized by using the refined model for controller redesign. These developments result in an effective mechanism for achieving high-performance control of flexible space structures. Whorton, M. S. Marshall Space Flight Center...

Book Automatic Control in Aerospace 1992

Download or read book Automatic Control in Aerospace 1992 written by D.B. DeBra and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Space vehicles have become increasingly complex in recent years, and the number of missions has multiplied as a result of extending frontiers in the exploration of our planetary system and the universe beyond. The advancement of automatic control in aerospace reflects these developments. Key areas covered in these proceedings include: the size and complexity of spacecrafts and the increasingly stringent performance requirements to be fulfilled in a harsh and unpredictable environment; the merger of space vehicles and airplanes into space planes to launch and retrieve payloads by reusable winged vehicles; and the demand to increase space automation and autonomy to reduce human involvement as much as possible in manned, man-tended and unmanned missions. This volume covers not only the newly evolving key technologies but also the classical issues of guidance, navigation and control.
