Disturbance observer design for nonlinear systems represented by input-output models
A new approach to the design of nonlinear disturbance
observers for a class of nonlinear systems described by inputoutput differential equations is presented in this paper. In contrast with established forms of nonlinear disturbance observers,
the most important feature of this new type of disturbance
observer is that only measurement of the output variable is
required, rather than the state variables. An inverse simulation
model is first constructed based on knowledge of the structure
and parameters of a conventional model of the system. The
disturbance can then be estimated by comparing the output of
the inverse model and the input of the original nonlinear system.
Mathematical analysis demonstrates the convergence of this new
form of nonlinear disturbance observer. The approach has been
applied to disturbance estimation for a linear system and a new
form of linear disturbance observer has been developed. The
differences between the proposed linear disturbance observer and
the conventional form of frequency-domain disturbance observer
are discussed through a numerical example. Finally, the nonlinear
disturbance observer design method is illustrated through an
application involving a simulation of a jacketed continuous stirred
tank reactor syste
Offset-free nonlinear MPC for mismatched disturbance attenuation with application to a static var compensator
A generalized nonlinear model predictive control augmented with a disturbance observer is proposed in this brief to solve the disturbance attenuation problem of nonlinear systems with arbitrary disturbance relative degree. It is shown that the disturbances can be removed from the output channels by the proposed method with appropriately designed disturbance compensation gain. The property of nominal performance recovery is retained with the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by applying it to a static var compensator system
