<div class=""abs_img""> <img src=""[disp_template_path]/JRM/abst-image/00270005/01.jpg"" width=""300"" /> Block diagram of proposed control</div> An adaptive control system is configured simply by output feedback when the controlled system is almost strictly positive real (ASPR). ASPR conditions are, however, very severe restrictions for actual systems. The parallel feedforward compensator (PFC), which is designed for making augmented controlled system ASPR, has been proposed to solve this problem. We propose a performance-driven adaptive output feedback control system with a PFC designed via direct design. Our proposed adaptive control system is to be used for systems whose properties change during operation. Our PFC’s direct design uses the system’s input/output data and readjusts output feedback gain based on a performance index. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through experiments using liquid level control for the two-tank process system. </span>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
