Frequency Response Data-Based LPV Controller Synthesis Applied to a Control Moment Gyroscope

Control of systems with operating condition-dependent dynamics, including control moment gyroscopes (CMGs), often requires operating condition-dependent controllers to achieve high control performance. The aim of this brief is to develop a frequency response data-driven linear parameter-varying (LPV) control design approach for single-input single-output (SISO) systems, which allows improved performance for a CMG. A stability theory using a closed-loop frequency response function (FRF) data is developed, which is subsequently used in a synthesis procedure that guarantees local stability and performance. Experimental results on a CMG demonstrate the performance improvements.
