Proposed here is a new approach for synthesizing an internal model control (IMC) anti-windup (AW) compensator for a stable plant subject to input saturation. Built on the conventional IMC AW scheme, which preserves the stability robustness of the unconstrained system, the proposed linear AW compensator improves the performance of the constrained system. The analysis conducted through the loop decomposition of the AW system clearly reveals the impacts of the AW compensator on the closed-loop stability and performance. Loop shaping techniques are executed to design the AW compensator. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated using a numerical example.

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.

A novel PID controller identification method based on internal model control structure is proposed. The proposed method avoids the necessity of approximating the time delay for designing the PID controller. It results in a robust and effective PID controller tuning. The method is effective for both time constant and time delay dominant systems, with much improved performance for the latter case.

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.

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.
