This paper proposes a generalized active disturbance rejection controller (GADRC) based hierarchical control structure for the boilerturbine unit. In the lower layer, a multivariable extended state observer (MESO) is developed to estimate the values of the lumped disturbances caused by modelling mismatches, fuel quality variation and wide range load variation. The influence of the disturbances is then compensated at the input side as a feedforward control. In the upper layer, the multi-objective optimization is devised to obtain the set-points by removing the plant behaviour variation from the optimized model in a feasible way. The lowpass filter acting on the lumped disturbances is designed to bridge the gap between the lower and upper layer. The impact of the feedthrough item is approximated by a first-order system and a two degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) control strategy is established to illustrate the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection properties of the controller. Simulation studies on a 1000MWe coal-fired ultra-supercritical boiler-turbine unit demonstrate that the proposed control strategy can achieve a satisfactory performance in cases of fuel quality variations, model-plant mismatches and wide range load variation.

Purpose This paper aims to improve the anti-interference ability of the airborne radar stabilization platform, especially the ability to suppress continuous disturbance under complex air conditions to ensure the clarity and stability of airborne radar imaging. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes a new active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) strategy based on the cascade extended state observer (ESO) for airborne radar stabilization platform, which adopts two first-order ESOs to estimate the angular velocity value and the angular position value of the stabilized platform. Then makes the error signal which subtracts the estimated value of ESO from the output signal of the tracking-differentiator as the input signal of the nonlinear state error feedback (NLSEF), and according to the output signal of the NLSEF and the value which dynamically compensated the total disturbances estimated by the two ESO to produce the final control signal. Findings The simulation results show that, compared with the classical ADRC, the ADRC based on the cascade ESO not only estimates the unknown disturbance more accurately but also improves the delay of disturbance observation effectively due to the increase of the order of the observer. In addition, compared with the classical PID control and the classical ADRC, it has made great progress in response performance and anti-interference ability, especially in the complex air conditions. Originality/value The originality of the paper is the adoption of a new ADRC control strategy based on the cascade ESO to ameliorate the anti-interference ability of the airborne radar stabilization platform, especially the ability to suppress continuous interference under complex air conditions.

This study considers the problems of manipulators with high coupling, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances. A six-axis serial manipulator control system based on active disturbance rejection control strategy is proposed without the requirement of the exact dynamic model. First, the operating circuit of the manipulator joint motor is analyzed, and the mathematical model of the direct-current torque motor is established. Second, the components of active disturbance rejection control are designed, and a new nonlinear function is selected to construct the extended state observer and nonlinear state error feedback control law. Then, Kalman filter is introduced into an extended state observer to estimate the disturbance efficiently. Finally, the proportion–integration–differentiation control, traditional active disturbance rejection control, and improved active disturbance rejection control are simulated and compared under the same input signal. The results show that the proposed control strategy has good dynamic performance and uncertain disturbance robustness, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a lateral control strategy with kinematic state error model-based predictive control and extended state observer for unmanned ground vehicles. Firstly, we propose a circular arc prediction technique to calculate the state of the reference system. Then, inspired by the idea of active disturbance rejection control, an extended state observer is utilized to estimate the value of the total disturbance caused by modeling uncertainties, external disturbance, and other factors in order to compensate model error. Finally, we propose a lateral controller that combines model-based prediction with extended state observer through state feedback to achieve precise trajectory tracking. The performance of the proposed control strategy is demonstrated by a co-simulation between CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink.

This article presents a fixed-time active disturbance rejection control approach for the attitude control problem of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle in the presence of dynamic wind, mass eccentricity and an actuator fault. The control scheme applies the feedback linearization technique and enhances the performance of the traditional active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based on the fixed-time high-order sliding mode method. A switching-type uniformly convergent differentiator is used to improve the extended state observer for estimating and attenuating the lumped disturbance more accurately. A multivariable high-order sliding mode feedback law is derived to achieve fixed time convergence. The timely convergence of the designed extended state observer and the feedback law is proved theoretically. Mathematical simulations with detailed actuator models and real time experiments are performed to demonstrate the robustness and practicability of the proposed control scheme.

An active disturbance rejection station-keeping control scheme is derived and analyzed for station-keeping missions of spacecraft along a class of unstable periodic orbits near collinear libration points of the Sun-Earth system. It is an error driven, rather than model-based control law, essentially accounting for the independence of model accuracy and linearization. An extended state observer is designed to estimate the states in real time by setting an extended state, that is, the sum of unmodeled dynamic and external disturbance. This total disturbance is compensated by a nonlinear state error feedback controller based on the extended state observer. A nonlinear tracking differentiator is designed to obtain the velocity of the spacecraft since only position signals are available. In addition, the system contradiction between rapid response and overshoot can be effectively solved via arranging the transient process in tracking differentiator. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is adequate for station-keeping of unstable Halo orbits in the presence of system uncertainties, initial injection errors, solar radiation pressure, and perturbations of the eccentric nature of the Earth's orbit. It is also shown that the closed-loop control system performance is improved significantly using our method comparing with the general LQR method.
