Robust Adaptive Compensation of External Disturbances for Multi-Channel Linear Systems

Abstract: This paper proposes a new algorithm for compensating external disturbances for class of multi-channel linear systems. The solution to this problem is based on the use of the internal model principle and the extended error adaptation algorithm. It is assumed that the disturbance is the output of an autonomous linear generator with unknown parameters. At the first stage, a full-order observer with unknown input signals (Unknown Input Observer - UIO) is synthesized to solve the problem of estimating the state vector of this plant. Then a new observer of external disturbance is formed on the basis of state vector estimations. At the last stage, based on the new observer's estimations, a system with an extended state vector is formed for which a regulator providing compensation of disturbance is constructed. The performance of the obtained results is confirmed using computer simulation in MATLAB Simulink.
