Advanced multivariable nonlinear control methodology for matrix converters

这个项目的目的是探索一个具体的多变量非线性控制设计问题。该项目的动机来自对矩阵转换器的控制。矩阵转换器被认为是未来电力运输的关键使能技术之一。然而，他们对实践的渗透并没有达到他们的承诺。这在一定程度上是由于相关的控制设计问题，涉及耦合的非线性动力学和欠驱动是极其困难的。我们计划利用现代控制系统设计方法来解决这些问题。我们的具体目标是实现一个可证明稳定的闭环系统，其性能独立于不可测量的干扰和模型误差。

The aim of this project is to explore a specific multivariable nonlinear control design problem. Motivation for the project arises from the control of Matrix Converters. Matrix Converters are considered one of the key enabling technologies for the electric transport of the future. However, their penetration into practice has fallen short of their promise. This is, in part, due to the associated control design problem which is extremely difficult involving coupled nonlinear dynamics and under-actuation. We plan to address these problems by using modern control system design methods. Our specific goal is to achieve a provably stable, closed loop control system whose performance is independent of unmeasured disturbances and model errors.
