Stability Analysis and Design of a Nonlinear Controller for Hot Rolling Coiler

Abstract EN

For the new style hot rolling coiler which adopt AC asynchronous motor as the driving force and with using the algorithm based on differential geometry design nonlinear controller, precise coiling tension control in the rolling process of strip steel is achieved.

In this paper, under the rotating orthogonal coordinate system, the fifth-order nonlinear motor model is selected as the controlled plant.

By multi-input multioutput (MIMO) exact feedback linearization (EFL) algorithm, the nonlinear model is transformed to a linear one.

In terms of small-gain theorem, it is the first to prove that the nonlinear coiler engine that contains the controller has characteristics of input-to-state stability.

Experimental results show that the algorithm can be used for high order tracking control system with time-varying parameters.

Even without the traditional flux orientation calculation, the output signals are decoupled.

With this controller, the tension deviation is restricted to less than 3% and average rotational speed bias was decreased from 0.5% to 0.1% that ensure high-quality plate cut and surface of strip products.
