Tracking control of chaotic systems via optimized active disturbance rejection control (Q1720950)

Summary: For tracking control of chaotic systems, we develop an active disturbance rejection (ADR) control method. Using the first state of the system as the only available state, a time-varying bandwidth extended state observer reconstructs the remaining states and the total disturbance. A time-varying bandwidth feedback controller forces all the states of the system to follow exactly the reference signal and its derivative. The parameters of the ADR controller are optimized using a genetic algorithm. As the objective function, we chose the weighted sum of the integral of the absolute error and the integral of the absolute control signal. Two chaotic systems -- the Duffing system and the Genesio-Tesi system -- are considered in computer simulation tests. Results of these simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the ADRC method in controlling chaotic systems.
