Peter Hippe – författare

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.

Design of Observer-based Compensators facilitates and adds transparency to design in the frequency domain which is not as well-established among control engineers as time domain design. The presentation of the design procedures starts with a review of the time domain results; therefore, the book also provides quick access to state space methods for control system design.Frequency domain design of observer-based compensators of all orders is covered. The design of decoupling and disturbance rejecting controllers is presented, and solutions are given to the linear quadratic and the model matching problems. The pole assignment design is facilitated by a new parametric approach in the frequency domain. Anti-windup control is also investigated in the framework of the polynomial approach. The discrete-time results for disturbance rejection and linear quadratic control are also presented.The book contains worked examples that can easily be reproduced by the reader, and the results are illustrated by simulations.

This brief presents methods for anti-windup control in the presence of saturating sensors, arbitrary external reference inputs, and constant or step-like disturbance inputs.
