H∞ reduced-order observer-based controller synthesis approach for T-S fuzzy systems
Introduction
In recent years, with the great demands of advanced control performance for engineering systems, the control problems of nonlinear systems have drawn increasing attentions [1], [2]. However, controller design tasks for the nonlinear system are still difficult to tackle due to the inherent complexity of the system. The T-S fuzzy system, introduced in [3], provides a simplified approach to represent nonlinear systems thanks to its universal approximation ability. With the T-S fuzzy system, tremendous mature linear control system theories can be used on the complicated nonlinear system [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11].
Due to the economic and physical limitations, system state may be not measurable under certain circumstance. For this issue, various approaches for designing output feedback control structures are brought up, which can be categorised into three aspects: static output feedback control [12], [13], dynamic output feedback control [14], [15], [16], and observer-based control [17], [18]. Under certain cases, system estimation function is very important. For example, some unmeasurable plane parameters must be estimated to show the pilot for safety purpose during the flight phrase. For the system state estimation advantages, the observer-controller structure receives widely attentions: for a T-S fuzzy descriptor system, robust method [19] and relaxed stability synthesis approach [20] are investigated. For a continuous T-S fuzzy system, conservatism relaxed robust approaches are studied in [21], [22], [23], [24]. And the discrete case can be found in [25], the results in linear system aspects could be also refereed as in [26]. For switched fuzzy systems, the observer-based output-feedback control schemes are developed both for the measurable and unmeasurable premise variable cases in [27], [28]. To reduce the conservatism in stability analysis, separation principle for T-S fuzzy systems observer-controller structure is studied in [29] and references therein, further results are given under network environment as in [30] and under external disturbance in [31]. Aimed at further reducing the conservatism caused by the full frequency analysis methods, the problem of observer-controller based H∞ control in finite frequency domain case is investigated in [32]. For a real world engineering system, the state may be partly measurable, but for the full-order observer, the measurable state will also be estimated, this redundancy structure will induce certain conservatism in stability analysis. Reduced-order observer will avoid the estimation process for measurable system state, then the conservatism will certainly be reduced in stability analysis.
For T-S fuzzy systems, a separation principle structure for full/reduced-order observer-controller is proposed in [33], [34]. Faults and disturbance reconstruction methods by reduced-order observer can be found in [35]. For a discrete time T-S fuzzy system, a recursive reduced-order observer design method is proposed in [36]. In [37], a robust state/fault estimation reduced-order observer and fault tolerant controller are given, and the separation principle still holds under the fault case. A piecewise Lyapunov function based full/reduced-order observer approach is investigated in [38], [39]. But till now, for reduced-order observer-controller method, how to reduce the conservatism during robust performance analysis remains to be an open problem.
In this paper, a novel reduced-order-observer based controller synthesis method is proposed to reduce the conservatism of T-S fuzzy systems. A series of sufficient conditions for system stability and robustness are obtained, the conditions are in convex form and can be solved numerically. Finally, a suspended floater following system braking control task is carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The contributions of this paper can be summarized as follows: 1) To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the convex form conditions based H∞ reduced-observer-controller synthesis approach is proposed for the first time. 2) Compared with existing results, the conservatism is further reduced by the obtained stability and robustness conditions.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the fuzzy system and concerned problems. Section 4 describes the reduced-order observer-based controller design process. Section 5 presents the stability analysis. Section 6 illustrates the simulation process. Finally, Some closing remarks are presented.

The observer-controller errors augmented system has been proved to be asymptotically stable, and H∞ index is minimized when external disturbance exists. Finally, based on the braking control process of suspended floater following system, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified. Comparison with traditional methods are also given to further illustrate the conservatism

Composite hierarchical anti-disturbance control for dynamic positioning system of ships based on robust wave filter
2022, Ocean EngineeringCitation Excerpt :When the external disturbances are not considered, a nonlinear output feedback control scheme was presented by using backstepping technique (Fossen and Grøvlen, 1998). For the DP system of ships with disturbances, many anti-disturbance control strategies have been put forward, such as state observer, adaptive control and model predictive control (MPC) (Xie et al., 2019). Under the assumption that the environmental disturbances were unknown constants, the adaptive state observer was designed for the DP system of ships (Do, 2011).
