Multiple Pseudo-Local Feedbacks for Controlling High-Order Oscillatory Objects
Development of the Internet of things (IoT) technologies arises many additional problems as energy harvesting. In particular, a long-time controlling object needs a device without an external power supply. The control of technical objects with a high order of mathematical model has a large difficulty if a feature of the object is a high tendency to oscillations due to the ratio of the coefficients in the model. In particular, the tendency to oscillations occurs if the object model has complex roots, or if the model has a transport delay. One such example is a model that consists of two oscillatory objects and a delay loop. Widespread controlling such an objects using a PID controller is very difficult since in the transient process in the resulting system there is a large overshoot and many oscillations. If such an object could be stabilized with additional local feedbacks, the control task would be greatly simplified, but the object does not have corresponding outputs and inputs, therefore local feedbacks cannot be used. The pseudo-local feedback approach assumes the use of virtual fragments of the object's mathematical model in the controller to form such connections that the system perceives as local ones. This paper proposed the use of several pseudo-local feedbacks to control an object with elements that increased its tendency to oscillate. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is confirmed by modeling.
