Study Notes

Static Output Feedback (SOF)

  • SOF uses a controller of the form u(t) = K y(t), where y(t) is the measured output.
  • SOF uses available measurements directly, avoiding state estimators.
  • SOF design is generally more challenging than state feedback design.

Advantages of SOF

  • It uses only measured outputs.
  • Implementation is simpler than dynamic output feedback.

Disadvantages of SOF

  • SOF is more difficult to design than state feedback.
  • It might not achieve the same performance as state feedback or dynamic output feedback.

SOF Design Approaches

Direct Methods for SOF

  • Direct methods solve nonlinear matrix equations or optimization problems related to closed-loop performance.
  • Examples include iterative methods, which alternate between solving for controller gain and Lyapunov matrix.
  • Another example is Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization.
  • LMI optimization formulates design constraints as LMIs, solved using convex optimization.

Challenges with Direct Methods

  • Optimization problems are often non-convex, which can lead to local minima.
  • Solving nonlinear matrix equations or LMIs can be computationally intensive.

Indirect Methods for SOF

  • Indirect methods transform Static Output Feedback design into an equivalent state feedback design.
  • They use state feedback techniques to design an intermediate gain, relating it back to the SOF gain.
  • Examples include observer-based methods.
  • Observer-based methods design an observer to estimate the state, then use state feedback on the estimated state.
  • Another example is Riccati equation approaches.
  • Riccati equation approaches solve a Riccati equation to find a stabilizing solution, used to compute the SOF gain.

Challenges with Indirect Methods

  • Transformation to state feedback can introduce conservatism, leading to suboptimal performance.
  • Designing an observer or solving a Riccati equation adds complexity.

Heuristic Methods for SOF

  • Heuristic algorithms search for suitable SOF gains.
  • Genetic algorithms use evolutionary principles to explore the space of possible gains.
  • Particle swarm optimization simulates social behaviors like bird flocking to find optimal gains.

Challenges with Heuristic Methods

  • These methods do not guarantee stability or performance.
  • They require careful tuning of algorithm parameters.
  • Heuristic methods can be computationally expensive, especially for complex systems.

SOF Design Considerations

  • The system must be stabilizable via output feedback.
  • Consider closed-loop performance metrics like settling time, overshoot, and disturbance rejection.
  • Ensure the closed-loop system is robust to uncertainties and disturbances.
  • Incorporate any constraints on the control input or system states.
