Control Scheme

In this paper, a self-repairing control scheme for attitude control of a quadrotor helicopter via active disturbance rejection control is proposed. Firstly, a model of the quadrotor helicopter is gained by its dynamic equations with pitch, roll and yaw axis. Then the active disturbance rejection controller is introduced, which is used to design the control system. The control system consists of PID controller in inner-loop and ADRC controller in outer-loop. Disturbances and uncertainties can be compensated by the ADRC to achieve smaller tracking error. Finally, the simulation results of the four-rotor helicopter validate the efficiency and self-repairing capability of the proposed control algorithm, compared with that of the PID control and the separate ADRC control.

This paper proposes a practical three-channel attitude control scheme for hypersonic vehicle based on the linear active disturbance rejection control. The control scheme considers the weak and strong coupling scenarios separately due to the dynamic characteristics. For the weak coupling case, three linear active disturbance rejection controllers are designed for the Euler angles of the three channels, respectively, to deal with the strong uncertainties. The expected stability margin and dynamic performance can be guaranteed through the stability margin tester tuning method. Moreover, the control scheme for the pitch, yaw, and roll angles can be applied to the control of the angle of attack, the sideslip angle and the bank angle directly according to the flight dynamics of the hypersonic vehicle, thus realizing a unified control framework for all the attitude angles. For the strong coupling scenario like the fast reversal maneuver, the inner-loop angular rate feedback is performed first in this paper to enhance the damping characteristics, and then linear active disturbance rejection control is designed for the augmented plant to eliminate the strong coupling effects. Simulation results demonstrate the satisfactory tracking and disturbance rejection ability of the proposed methods.

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.

Although the heat integrated distillation is an energy-efficient and environment-friendly separation technology, it has not been commercialized. One of the reasons is that the nonlinear dynamics and the interactions between various control loops have limited the performance of the traditional control strategy. To achieve a high-purity product concentration, a dynamic decoupling control strategy based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed. The effects of interactions, uncertainties and external disturbances can be estimated and rejected by using extended state observer. Considering the constraints on manipulated variables, an optimized ADRC is designed for the first-order system. Moreover, a concentration observer based on a nonlinear wave model is formulated to reduce the number of sensors. In the simulation research, the related internal model control (IMC), multi-loop ADRC and model predictive control (MPC) are compared with the proposed control scheme. The simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed control scheme on tight control, decoupling performance and disturbance rejection for the high-purity heat integrated distillation column.

A linear vehicle model is commonly employed in the controller design for an active front steering (AFS). However, this simplified model has a considerable influence on the accuracy of the controller. In this article, an AFS controller using an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) technique is proposed to prevent this problem. The AFS controller was established in MATLAB/Simulink to control the CarSim vehicle model for verification of the simulation. Under the straight-line driving disturbance condition, proportion-integration-differentiation (PID) control and ARDC substantially decreased with respect to the uncontrolled lateral offset and ADRC performed better than PID control. Under the double lane change (DLC) test working condition, the tracking error of the path, yaw rate, roll angle, and lateral acceleration, and error of the driving direction were used to evaluate the vehicle’s controllability and stability. These evaluation indexes were substantially improved by PID control and ADRC; similarly, ADRC was better than PID control. The tracking error of the ADRC in the presence of parameter variance and external disturbance was significantly smaller than that of PID control. The results have verified that the AFS controller based on ADRC can significantly improve vehicle controllability and stability.

Disturbance Rejection Control

Aiming at the longitudinal motion model of the air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (AHVs) with parameter uncertainties, a new prescribed performance-based active disturbance rejection control (PP-ADRC) method was proposed. First, the AHV model was divided into a velocity subsystem and altitude system. To guarantee the reliability of the control law, the design process was based on the nonaffine form of the AHV model. Unlike the traditional prescribed performance control (PPC), which requires accurate initial tracking errors, by designing a new performance function that does not depend on the initial tracking error and can ensure the small overshoot convergence of the tracking error, the error convergence process can meet the desired dynamic and steady-state performance. Moreover, the designed controller combined with an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and extended state observer (ESO) further enhanced the disturbance rejection capability and robustness of the method. To avoid the differential expansion problem and effectively filter out the effects of input noise in the differential signals, a new tracking differentiator was proposed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by comparative simulations.
