Abstract

PI-C (Proportional-Integral-Compensating) controllers are observer-based compensators with integral action containing an inverse model of the plant. Originally developed for windup prevention in case of sensor saturation they are also useful in the presence of actuator saturation. They allow to achieve a nearly perfect disturbance attenuation while the loop gain satisfies the Circle Criterion. It has also been demonstrated that PI-C controllers can solve the windup problem in case of joint input and output saturation. The design of PI-C controllers has only been formulated in the frequency domain so far which, in the MIMO case, requires the manipulation of polynomial matrices. Here, the state-space design of PI-C controllers is presented.

Zusammenfassung

PI-C-Regler sind beobachterbasierte Regler mit I-Anteil, die ein inverses Streckenmodel enthalten. Ursprünglich für die Vermeidung von Windup beim Vorhandensein von Sensor-Sättigung entwickelt, sind sie aber auch bei Stellbegrenzungen einsetzbar. Sie erlauben eine nahezu ideale Störunterdrückung, ohne dass der Linearteil des nichtlinearen Kreises das Kreiskriterium verletzt. Auch der Fall gleichzeitiger Ein- und Ausgangsbegrenzungen lässt sich mit PI-C-Reglern lösen. Der Entwurf von kompensierenden PI-Reglern wurde bisher nur im Frequenzbereich formuliert, was bei Mehrgrössensystemen die Manipulation von Polynommatrizen erfordert. Hier wird der Zeitbereichsentwurf solcher Regelungen vorgestellt.
