Abstract

This paper presents an effective method for robustness analysis and synthesis of a multi-PID controller for non-linear systems where desirable robustness and performance properties must be maintained across a large range of operating conditions. The robustness analysis problem is solved using an uncertain multimodel of the original non-linear system. The model of uncertainties used is an interval matrix modeled by a stochastic matrix which gives poor conservatism in the analysis of stability robustness. Moreover, the robust stability margin is interpreted as a smallest interval matrix that causes instability. This stability margin is evaluated using a random search algorithm. Simulation studies are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
