Solution Overview

Problem

Existing full-form model-free adaptive control methods for MIMO systems do not effectively address the challenge of compensation control in the presence of unmeasurable disturbances, which can lead to degradation or instability in control performance.

Innovation Solution

A method of full-form model-free adaptive disturbance compensation control is implemented using a dynamic data model described by pseudo Jacobian input and disturbance matrices, with optimization techniques to find optimal values for these matrices, and a momentum gradient descent method to adjust adaptive input and disturbance matrices, resulting in a control law that attenuates unmeasurable disturbances and stabilizes the system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If full-form model-free adaptive control method is used for MIMO systems, then control performance is improved, but the system becomes vulnerable to unmeasurable disturbances causing degradation or instability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol performanceVSAvoidunmeasurable disturbances
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a disturbance observer as an intermediary component that estimates unmeasurable disturbances based on system inputs and outputs. This observer acts as a mediator between the controlled plant and the controller, providing disturbance compensation signals that improve reliability without requiring direct measurement of disturbances.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the estimated disturbances from the disturbance observer are fed back to the controller. This feedback loop allows the system to continuously compensate for unmeasurable disturbances, maintaining control performance and stability despite the presence of harmful factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Stability of the object's composition

If disturbance compensation control is added to attenuate unmeasurable disturbances, then system stability is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The disturbance observer is designed to self-estimate disturbances using only the system's own input-output data without requiring external sensors or complex modeling. This self-service approach provides disturbance compensation while minimizing the addition of external components and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The proposed disturbance compensation control method is designed to be universally applicable to MIMO systems with unmeasurable disturbances. The same control framework can handle multiple inputs and outputs simultaneously, providing stability improvement without proportionally increasing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
