An Improved Internal Model Principle Based Multivariable Nonlinear Control Method with Multiclass Nonharmonic Disturbances and Its Application to Speed Control of a Motor Drive System

Abstract EN

We study the global disturbance rejection problem for a class of general multivariable nonlinear systems with multiclass nonharmonic disturbances.

The paper first introduces the importance and state of the art for disturbance rejection problem and describes the control problem in the form of mathematical expressions.

It stresses the multiclass disturbances produced by the exosystem satisfying certain characteristic conditions.

Then, the nonlinear internal models are designed in accordance with different characteristics of multiclass external disturbances.

On the basis of introduction of the control law for disturbance-free system, a multivariable state feedback controller is devised in terms of the designed internal model equations and corresponding assumptions.

A Lyapunov function is constructed to theoretically prove the global uniform boundness of all signals for the multivariable closed-loop system.

Finally, the presented method is applied to implement the speed control and reject the multiclass nonharmonic disturbances for a two-input motor drive system.

The simulation results testify correctness and effectiveness of the presented algorithm.
