Data-Driven Iterative Optimization of TDOF Controller with Rational Model

Abstract

For precise control, it can be achieved through a feedforward controller with a feedback control scheme. The feedforward controller can be automatically tuned with the datadriven methods through experimental results. However, these data-driven methods are interrupted when the input disturbance is applied. This problem can be solved using Disturbance Observer (DOB) in the control loop. In addition, a data-driven method derives accurate control performance by simultaneously tuning the feedforward controller and DOB model. Furthermore, a tuning algorithm with a rational model is proposed for the corresponding modeling to a flexible system. The simulation results verify that the proposed method accurately tunes the controller for an unknown plant under an input disturbance. © 2023 IEEE.
