Electromechanical coupling modeling and fractional-order control of the seeker stabilization platform

Abstract

To address the electromechanical coupling and multi-source disturbance problems of the seeker stabilized platform, this paper constructs an electromechanical coupling model of the seeker stabilized platform based on the Lagrange-Maxwell equation. To mitigate the influence of electromechanical coupling on the control performance of the seeker, a super-twisting controller based on a fractional-order terminal sliding mode surface (FOSTSMC) is proposed. Additionally, to handle various disturbances in the system, this paper introduces a method that combines the extended state observer (ESO) with the proposed controller to enhance the system’s stability and anti-disturbance performance. The Lyapunov function is designed to prove that the proposed controller can reach a convergence state within finite time. Finally, the proposed control method is compared with PID control, fuzzy PID control, linear sliding mode control, and super spiral control combined with a disturbance observer (DOB). Multiple simulation experiments demonstrate that, under the influence of electromechanical coupling and multi-source disturbance, the FOSTSMC-ESO significantly improves the stability and anti-disturbance performance of the seeker stabilization platform.
