We consider an unknown linear time invariant plan with static load disturbance. A saturation function nonlinear element is sued to find th one point information in the frequency domain. We analyze an asymmetric self-oscillation caused by static load disturbance with relay feedback and saturation function feedback. We propose a new method to tune a PID controller using a saturation nonlinear feedback element in the presence of asymmetric oscillation. The proposed method does not require the knowledge of plant d.c. gain with an asymmetric oscillation in the plat output.

We use the slope bounded saturation nonlinear feedback element instead of relay to find ultimate gain and period of linear plant. Saturation nonlinear element reduces the high harmonics of plant output. The reduction of high harmonics improve the accuracy of describing function method used to find ultimate gain and period. We give a simple procedure to find ultimate gain and period with saturation nonlinear element. A PID controller design method with known time delay element is also given, which is very useful when oscillation is not occurred with nonlinear element.

The authors have recently proposed a new method for identifying Volterra kernels of nonlinear control systems by use of M-sequence and correlation technique. A specially chosen M-sequence is added to the nonlinear system to be identified, and the crosscorrelation function between the input and output is calculated. Then every crosssection of Volterra kernels up to 3rd order appears at a specified delay time point in the crosscorrelation. This method is applied to a saturation-type nonlinear feedback control system of mechanical-electrical servo system having torque saturation nonlinearity. Simulation experiments show that we can obtain Volterra kernels of saturation-type nonlinear system, and a good agreement is observed between the observed output and the calculated one from the measured Volterra kernels.

We use the saturation nonlinear feedback element to generate self-oscillation in order to find an ultimate gain and period of linear plant. The use of saturation nonlinear feedback element can improve accuracy of an ultimate gain and period of unknown linear plant. An ultimate gain and period of linear plant can be used to tune a PID controller parameters. It is possible that an asymmetric oscillation can be occurred under the special circumstances such as with static load disturbance. We analyze an asymmetric self-oscillation. As the results of an analysis, we propose a method to find an ultimate gain and period of linear Plant under the asymmetric self-oscillation.

In this note, a new robust nonlinear output feedback variable structure controller is first systematically and generally designed for the output control of more affine uncertain nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties and matched disturbance. A transformed integral output feedback sliding surface with a most simple form is applied in order to remove the reaching phase problems. The closed loop exponential stability and the existence condition of the sliding mode on the integral output feedback sliding surface is investigated with a corresponding output feedback control input in Theorem 1. For practical application the continuous implementation of the control input is made by the modified saturation function. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through a design example and simulation study.

Continuous-time controller design is proposed using feedback system identification in frequency domain. System stability imposed by a new controller is checked in the function of a conventional closed-loop system, instead of a poorly modeled plant due to non-linearity and disturbance as well as unstable components, etc. The stability of the system is evaluated in view of Nyquist stability. All the equations are formulated in the framework of the discrete-time system. Simulation results are shown on the plant with input saturation and DC disturbance.

In this paper, we consider the design of $H_\infty$ high-gain state feedback control for time-delayed linear systems with limited actuator capacities. The high-gain control means that the control permits the predetermined degree of saturation. Based on new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we derive a result in the form of matrix inequalities. The matrix inequalities are consisted of LMIs those confirm the positive definiteness of Lyapunov- Krasovskii functional, satisfaction of predetermined degree of saturation, reachable set and $L_2$ gain constraint. The result is dependent on the bound of time-delay and its rate, predetermined degree of saturation, actuator capacity, and the allowed size of disturbances. Finally, we give a numerical example to show the effectiveness and usefulness of our result.

This paper presents a disturbance observer-based robust backstepping load-following control (DO-RBLFC) scheme for modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (MHTGRs) in the presence of actuator saturation and disturbances. Based on reactor kinetics and temperature reactivity feedback, the mathematical model of the MHTGR is first established. After that, a DO is constructed to estimate the unknown compound disturbances including model uncertainties, external disturbances, and unmeasured states. Besides, the actuator saturation is compensated by employing an auxiliary function in this paper. With the help of the DO, a robust load-following controller is developed via the backstepping technique to improve the load-following performance of the MHTGR subject to disturbances. At last, simulation and comparison results verify that the proposed DO-RBLFC scheme offers higher load-following accuracy, better disturbances rejection capability, and lower control rod speed than a PID controller, a conventional backstepping controller, and a disturbance observer-based adaptive sliding mode controller.

Discrete-time controller design is proposed using feedback system identification in frequency domain. System Stability imposed by a new controller is checked in the function of a conventional closed-loop system, instead of a poorly modeled plant due to non-linearity and disturbance as well as unstable components, etc. The stability of the system is evaluated in view of Popov criterion. All the equations are formulated in the framework of the discrete-time system. Simulation results are shown on the plant with input saturation components, DC disturbance and a pure integration.
