This paper proposes a robust control strategy for uncertain LTI systems. The strategy is based on an uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE). It brings similar performance as the time-delay control (TDC). The advantages over TDC are: (i) no delay is introduced into the system; (ii) there are no oscillations in the control signal; and (iii) there is no need of measuring the derivatives of the state vector. The robust stability of LTI-SISO systems is analyzed, and simulations are given to show the effectiveness of the UDE-based control with a comparison made with TDC.

This paper addresses one aspect of the problem of the suppression of tearing mode magnetic islands by electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) injection, formulating the problem as the converse of a forced reconnection problem. New physical conditions are discussed which should be considered in the technical approach towards a robust control strategy. Limits on the ECCD deposition are determined to avoid driving the system into regimes where secondary instabilities develop. Numerical simulations confirming the theory are also presented.
