Expedited Novel Research Award: Performance Optimization for Systems with Multiple Operating Conditions

该研究方案涉及多工况系统的非切换控制器的设计。这些多模式控制系统存在于许多实际系统中，如飞机、汽车和电力系统。与常用的增益开关控制器相比，非开关控制器可以潜在地降低成本并提高性能。该方案中的设计方法将基于最近发展的基于多变量状态空间技术的新的多模型控制器设计方法。这里的重点是研究具有多个运行条件的系统的性能优化方面。一个主要的动机是，问题的提法将允许建立一个计算同时稳定控制的程序。

This research proposal concerns the designs of nonswitching controllers for systems with multiple operation conditions. These multi-mode control systems occur in many practical systems, such as aircraft, automobiles and power systems. A nonswitching controller can potentially reduce costs and improve performance compared to the commonly used gain switching controllers. The design approach in this proposal will be based on a recently developed novel multi-model controller design approach built on multivariable state space techniques. The focus here is to investigate the performance optimization aspect of systems with multiple operating conditions. A main motivation is that the problem formulation would allow the construction of a procedure for the computation of simultaneous stabilizing controls.
