Output regulation for a class of MIMO uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems by active disturbance rejection control approach (Q2298564)

Summary: In this paper, the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) approach is applied to a class of multi-input multioutput (MIMO) uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems. An extended state observer (ESO) is first designed for estimation of both unmeasured states and stochastic total disturbance of each subsystem which represents the total effects of internal unmodeled stochastic dynamics and external stochastic disturbance with unknown statistical property. The ADRC controller based on the states of ESO is further designed to achieve the closed-loop system's output regulation performance including practical mean square reference signals tracking, disturbance attenuation, and practical mean square stability when the reference signals are zero avoiding solving any partial differential equations in the conventional output regulation theory. Some numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ADRC approach.
