Data-driven controller design. The \(H_2\) approach. (Q662265)

This book presents an interesting \(H_2\) approach to data-driven control design. The practical application of the data-driven methodologies are illustrated with a large number of practical designs performed for different classes of processes. The book consists of 8 chapters. The basic definitions are recalled in chapter 1. In chapter 2, the statement of \(H_2\) design problem is given. The Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) method is presented in chapter 3. In chapter 4, a general review of optimization methods is given. The problem of convergence to the globally optimal controller is analyzed in chapter 5. The cost function shaping concept is presented in chapter 6. The computing aspects of the iterative feedback tuning, frequency domain tuning and correlation based-tuning are discussed in chapter 7. Some experimental results on different processes are presented in chapter 8. Simulation examples illustrate and explain the presented concepts. The monograph is intended for PhD students and researches in control engineering.
