Open-loop and closed-loop recursive identification of an electro-hydraulic actuator system

This paper presents experimental work on recursive identification of an electro-hydraulic system that represented by a discrete-time model in open-loop and closed-loop configurations. A recursive least square (RLS) method is used to estimate the unknown parameters of the system based on auto regression with exogenous input (ARX) model. Residual analysis is utilized for a model validation. Results are presented which show variations in parameters of the electro-hydraulic system. From the results obtained, position tracking for electro-hydraulic system can be implemented by using conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller with the aim of the modeling validation.
