Windup in Control - Hippe, Peter

. .

Résumé :
Actuator saturation is probably the most frequent nonlinearity encountered in control applications and causes controller windup and plant windup calling for distinct remedies. Peter Hippe presents antiwindup solutions for stable and unstable single-input-single-output and multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The solutions use only standard tools for the investigation of linear systems ? state equations, transfer functions, etc. Less rigorous solutions which guarantee improved performance but without strict proof of stability are also demonstrated. Maintenance of MIMO system directionality and bumpless transfer are included and the developments in control methods are always supplemented by easily repeated numerical examples. Academics doing control-related research and engineers working in the process industries will find this book an extremely useful overview of systematic windup prevention for all kinds of systems. It also has valuable insights to offer the graduate student of control.

Sommaire:
Peter Hippe was born in Berlin in 1941. He received the Dipl.-Ing. degree in mechanical engineering from Universit?t Stuttgart, Stuttgart in 1969 and the Dr.-Ing. degree from Friedrich-Alexander Universit?t, Erlangen in 1976. Since then he has been teaching in the Electrical Engineering Department. His main research interests are in the time and frequency domain design of compensators and the problems caused by constrained actuators. He has coauthored the book Zustandsregelung (Springer, 1985) and he is the author of the book Windup in Control (Springer, 2006) Joachim Deutscher was born in Schweinfurt, Germany in 1970. He received the Dipl.-Ing. (FH) degree in Electrical Engineering from Fachhochschule W?rzburg- Schweinfurt-Aschaffenburg in 1996, the Dipl.-Ing. Univ. degree in Electrical Engineering and the Dr.-Ing. degree from Universit?t Erlangen-N?rnberg in 1999 and 2003, respectively. He is head of the nonlinear control systems group at the Lehrstuhl f?r Regelungstechnik, Universit?t Erlangen-N?rnberg. His main research interests are in nonlinear control and in the application of polynomial matrix methods in control....
