Determining the Weighting Matrices of Optimal Controllers considering Structural Energy

구조물의 에너지를 고려한 최적제어기의 가중행렬 결정

This paper provides the systematic procedure to determine the weighting matrices of optimal controllers considering structural energy. Optimal controllers consist of LQR and ILQR. The weighting matrices are needed first in the conventional optimal control design strategy. However, they are in general dependent on the experienced knowledge of controll designers. Applying the Lyapunov function to the total structural energy and using the contrition that its derivative is negative, we can determine the weighting matrices without difficulty. It is proven that the control efficiency is achieved well for LQR and ILQR.
