Anti-windup TS Fuzzy PI-like Control for Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems with Saturated Actuators
Résumé
This paper deals with piecewise constant set-points tracking control of nonlinear discrete-time systems represented by Takagi-Sugeno models under actuators’ saturation. To this end, a fuzzy Proportional Integral-like (PI-like) discrete-time control scheme is considered, which consists of a proportional state feedback, an integral action over the tracking error, and an anti-windup action. All the control gains are obtained through a convex optimization procedure formulated in term of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The proposed method yields a Parameter Distributed Compensation (PDC) PI-like control and a non-PDC anti-windup action structure. Due to the actuators’ saturation, a local approach is considered with a fuzzy Lyapunov function to ensure the local closed-loop stability, to provide an estimate of the region of attraction, and to compute the amplitude bounds of set-points changes. This latter issue allows delivering operational security by providing a bounded range for the set-points variation. To validate and illustrate the performance of the proposed tracking control approach, real-time experiments has been performed on an industrial oriented process consisting on the nonlinear level control of two interactive tanks.
