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.
