Decentralized Robust Feedback Linearization Control Based on Integrity

Decentralized Robust Feedback Linearization (DRFL) approach based on integrity for multivariable systems is presented. It uses a model observer to compensate the non-modeled dynamics, system uncertainties, and external disturbances of a system. Firstly, the existence of DRFL controllers with integrity is examined. Then, stable regions of each DRFL controller parameters are calculated, and some parameters are obtained by placing suitable closed-loop poles, for meeting the design specifications for the whole control system. The proposed method is applied to an illustrative example. Results demonstrate that DRFL control is feasible and robust for complicated multivariable systems.
