Dynamic Input Mapping Inversion for Algebraic Loop-Free Control in Hydraulic Actuators

The application of nonlinear control schemes to electro-hydraulic actuators often requires several alterations in the design of the controllers during their implementation. This is to overcome the challenges that frequently arise from the inherent complexity of such control algorithms owning to model nonlinearities. Moreover, advanced control solutions for this type of systems often introduce input algebraic loops and chatter, which considerably degrade the tracking performance. This study presents a nonlinear control architecture for hydraulic actuators that comprises low-complexity modules, based on well-established designs that facilitate robust high performance in tracking without introducing the aforementioned limitations. Specifically, the proposed solution consists of two variants of a position controller for the hydraulic cylinder and a dynamic input-mapping inversion module to avoid algebraic loops in the control input. The stability of the closed-loop system is analysed using arguments from Lyapunov theory for cascaded non-autonomous nonlinear systems. The effectiveness of the proposed solution is evaluated on a high-fidelity simulator of a wind turbine pitch system. Appropriate quantitative metrics are finally defined to evaluate the closed-loop system performance in comparison to state-of-the-art nonlinear design.
