Observer-based sampled-data control for nonlinear systems: Robust intelligent digital redesign approach

This paper suggests a solution for a robust digital implementation of the output-feedback control system by utilizing intelligent digital redesign (IDR). The general IDR method involves designing a digital fuzzy controller which is comparable to a pre-designed analog one via state-matching. However, under containing the parametric uncertainties, the new problem about the structural property of the uncertainties is inevitably occurred in the procedure of discretization. For solving that, we use the bilinear and inverse-bilinear approximation method and the concerned IDR is viewed as a convex minimization problem of the norm distances between linear operators to be matched. Also, we consider the state estimation error in the plant dynamics so that we attempt to improve the control performance. The robust stability property is preserved by the proposed IDR method and its condition is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The simulation results for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system are demonstrated to visualize the feasibility of the proposed method.
