The steam generator feedwater and level control system is designed by two steps of the feedwater control design and the feedback loop controller design. The feedwater sen system is designed by the optimal LQR/LQG approach and then is modified by the LTR method to recover the robustness. The plant characteristics are subject to change with the power variation and these dynamic properties are considered in the design of the feedback controller. All the designs are made in the continuous domain and are digitalized by applying the proper sampling period. The system is simulated for the two cases of power increase and decrease. From the results of simulation, it is found that the controller constants would rather be invariable during the power increase, while for the case of power decrease they should be changed with the power variation to keep the system stability.

The end-point position control of a flexible manipulator is a non-minimum phase system. The PD feedback of the end-point position is not stable in contrast with that of the hub jangle. However, the system can be stabilized conditionally by the feedback of both the hub rate angle and the end-point position. Even in the non-minimum system, the LQG/LTR control law is more systmatic controller design method than the classical control law which uses a root-locus technique.

In this study, the linear quadratic Guassian loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR) control technique was combined with an integrator and applied to an inchworm having piezoelectric actuators for precise motion tracking. The piezoelectric actuator showed nonlinear response characteristics, including hysteresis, due to its ferroelectric characteristics and the residual displacement phenomenon. This paper proposes a feedback control scheme using the LQG/LTR controller with an integrator to improve the ability to track the response to complex input signals and to suppress the phenomenon of hysteresis and residual vibration. Experimental results show that the developed feedback control system for an inchworm can track the various motion contours quickly without residual vibration or overshoot.

In this pater, the QLQG/LTR control method is applied for the position control of the nonlinear timing belt driving sys-tem. Parameters fo the plant are identified by genetic algorithm and nonlinear elements, such as Coulomb friction and dead-zone, and quasi-linearized by RIDE method. Comparing with the LQG/LTR contro. the QLQG/LTR has similar structures of the LQG/LTR, but this method can consider nonlinear effects in designing the controller. Thus, the QLQG/LTR control system is robust to hard nonlinearities such as Coulomb friction, dead-zone, etc. Forma given hard non-linear system through experiments, it is shown that the tracking performance of the QLQG/LTR control system can be very improved that the LQF/LTR control system.

This paper deals with the implementation of a robust multivariable controller using DSP board and the application to real systems. The LQG/LTR (Linear Quadratic Gaussian with Loop Transfer Recovery) controller proposed by Doyle et al.[1,2] is adopted to design the control system. A helicopter propeller setup is taken as the controlled system in the current paper, and the mathematical model is derived to design the multivariable controller. The performance of the controller is evaluated via simulations, and implementation and application to the MIMO system shows that the control performances are satisfactory and superior to those of the PID controller.

Linear controllers, such as LQG/LTR controller, have been investigated to control flexible link manipulators. The performance and complexity of these depend largely on the linearized model upon which the controller is designed. In this study, singular perturbation model is tested in designing a LQG/LTR controller for a flexible link manipulator. The order of the resulting controller is much lower than the one based on a full model. Through numerical study, it is shown that the performance of the proposed controller reaches reasonably to the one based on the full model.

LQG/LTR control scheme is applied to the two axes stage using piezoelectric actuator for tracking reference input and suppressing hysteresis effect in this paper. The plant is combined with an integrator to improve the tracking ability. LQG/LTR controller is designed by making desirable target filter loop remove all poles except for an integrator included in new design plant model and loop transfer recovery. Decoupler in the shape of FIR filter is added to remove the coupling effect between the two axes motion and so feedback control loop is designed independently for the each axis motion.

The LQG/LTR controller is a robust and stable control which is systematic method with a view of engineering. And the scheme is adopted for the design of the controller to reduce the effects of the disturbances. In this paper, We develop an algorithm that decides the distance and directions between the guide line that is made by a series of magnets and MR sensors of vehicle. LQG/LTR and Controller Design of Lateral Control System for a vehicle is developed with 3 DOF (degree-of-freedom) model. The performance has been compared for the employed two types of controllers via computed simulations. The results show that the controller provides more robustness property for t...

A robust controller is proposed to design a flight autopilot for lateral motion control. The control system has two control loops in order to meet the performance and to maintain the stability-robustness for a nonsquare flight system with uncertain aerodynamic variations and disturbance. One is designed via linear quadratic Gaussian with loop transfer recovery(LQG/LTR) design methodology for the inner loop. The other is designed via proportional controller design method for the outer loop. To show the effectiveness of this control system, it is compared with the LQG/LTR control system for a square flight system and is analyzed for the performance/stability-robustness to model uncertainties and disturbance via wind gusts. It is found that the proposed control system has good heading command-following performance under allowable sideslip angle in spite of model uncertainties and disturbance.
