Nowadays, manipulation of quad-rotors faces complexity in controller parameter tuning process and system instability under uncertainties. Internal model control is featured with less controller parameters, simpler tuning process than conventional methods, good robustness and perfect capability in rejection of uncertainties. All its merits can be applied in the field of nano-quad-rotor control since its internal model is easy to be obtained and the suffered uncertainties, especially persistent ones such as model uncertainties and winds, can be rejected by the algorithm effectively. In this paper, an internal model control cascade Proportion-Integration-Differentiation (PID) method is developed to enhance the robustness and improve the capability of uncertainty rejection of nano-quad-rotors flying under persistent uncertainties. The system can be stabilized in a very easy way with all controller parameters tuned within 0 to 1. Comparison with internal model control method was carried out numerically; the results show that, in dealing with persistent uncertainties, the internal model control cascade PID-based method presents significant superiority in the maintenance of both the accuracy of trajectory tracking and the stability of attitude.

For a magnetically suspended control moment gyro (MSCMG), which is an ideal attitude actuator for its large outputting control moment and fast response, the moving-gimbal effects due to the coupling between the moving gimbal and high-speeding rotor will make the magnetically suspended rotor (MSR) unstable. To improve control precision, both the dynamic model of MSR and the feedback linearization control are done to decouple tilting motion, and poles of the system are reconfigured to reduce control error. To suppress the varying disturbance moments caused by moving-gimbal effects, an extended state observer (ESO) is originally designed to estimate and compensate them timely and accurately. To improve system robustness, a two-degree freedom internal model control (2-DOF IMC) is researched to suppress model error. Compared with existing proportional integral derivative (PID) control method, simulations done on a single gimbal MSCMG with 200 N.m.s angular momentum indicated that this presented control method with ESO and 2-DOF IMC can suppress the moving-gimbal effects more effectively and make the rotor suspension more stable.

Via the vector space decomposition (VSD) transformation, the currents in an asymmetric six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (ASP_PMSM) can be decoupled into three orthogonal subspaces. Control of α–β currents in α–β subspace is important for torque regulation, while control of x-y currents in x-y subspace can suppress the harmonics due to the dead time of converters and other nonlinear factors. The zero-sequence components in O1-O2 subspace are 0 due to isolated neutral points. In α–β subspace, a state observer is constructed by introducing the error variable between the real current and the internal model current based on the internal model control method, which can improve the current control performance compared to the traditional internal model control method. In x–y subspace, in order to suppress the current harmonics, an adaptive-linear-neuron (ADALINE)-based control algorithm is employed to generate the compensation voltage, which is self-tuned by minimizing the estimated current distortion through the least mean square (LMS) algorithm. The modulation technique to implement the four-dimensional current control based on the three-phase SVPWM is given. The experimental results validate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed control method.

Multimotor drive system is widely applied in industrial control system. Considering the characteristics of multi-input multioutput, nonlinear, strong-coupling, and time-varying delay in two-motor drive systems, this paper proposes a new Smith internal model (SIM) control method, which is based on neural network generalized inverse (NNGI). This control strategy adopts the NNGI system to settle the decoupling issue and utilizes the SIM control structure to solve the delay problem. The NNGI method can decouple the original system into several composite pseudolinear subsystems and also complete the pole-zero allocation of subsystems. Furthermore, based on the precise model of pseudolinear system, the proposed SIM control structure is used to compensate the network delay and enhance the interference resisting the ability of the whole system. Both simulation and experimental results are given, verifying that the proposed control strategy can effectively solve the decoupling problem and exhibits the strong robustness to load impact disturbance at various operations.

This paper considers the synthesis of static anti-windup (AW) compensation within the internal model control (IMC) AW framework for stable plants subject to input saturation. Built on the conventional IMC AW scheme which preserves the stability and the stability robustness of the unconstrained system, the proposed static AW compensation improves the constrained system performance. L2 gain performance of the constrained system is considered for the static AW controller synthesis, resulting in a linear matrix inqualitiy. The effectiveness of this AW scheme is demonstrated by comparison with two AW methods from the literature through using two numerical examples.

It is a challenge to design a satisfactory controller for a complex multivariable industrial system with minimal offsetting and a slow response. An internal model control method is proposed for rank-deficient systems with a time delay based on a damped pseudo-inverse. An internal model control was designed to obtain the desired dynamic characteristics of the system by transforming the time-delay system into a system without a time delay, following the Pade approximation approach. By introducing a damping factor, the internal model controller was designed based on a damped pseudo-inverse, since the inverse matrix of the rank-deficient system does not exist. Furthermore, a singular value decomposition was used to analyze the steady-state performance of the system. The selection of the damping factor was also presented, and a μ analysis was made to evaluate the stability of the system. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a crude distillation process with five inputs and four outputs was considered as an example. The simulation results illustrate that not only can the proposed strategy guarantee the system’s stability, but it also has a relatively good dynamic performance.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use the internal model control to deal with nonlinear stable systems affected by parametric uncertainties. Design/methodology/approach The dynamics of a considered system are approximated by a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. The parameters of the fuzzy rules premises are determined manually. However, the parameters of the fuzzy rules conclusions are updated using the descent gradient method under inequality constraints in order to ensure the stability of each local model. In fact, without making these constraints the training algorithm can procure one or several unstable local models even if the desired accuracy in the training step is achieved. The considered robust control approach is the internal model. It is synthesized based on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. Two control strategies are considered. The first one is based on the parallel distribution compensation principle. It consists in associating an internal model control for each local model. However, for the second strategy, the control law is computed based on the global Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model. Findings According to the simulation results, the stability of all local models is obtained and the proposed fuzzy internal model control approaches ensure robustness against parametric uncertainties. Originality/value This paper introduces a method for the identification of fuzzy model parameters ensuring the stability of all local models. Using the resulting fuzzy model, two fuzzy internal model control designs are presented.
