Design and control of engineering systems utilizing component-level dynamic mathematical model with multiple-input multiple-output estimator

摘要

A control system comprises an actuator (14), a control law (13) and a processor. The actuator positions a control surface and the control law controls the actuator. The processor comprises an open loop module (21), a corrector (22), a comparator (23), and an estimator (24), and generates an output vector to direct the control law. The open loop module generates the output vector as a function of a state vector and an input vector. The corrector generates a corrector vector as a function of the output vector. The comparator generates an error vector by comparing the corrector vector to the input vector. The estimator generates the state vector as a function of the error vector, such that the error vector is minimized.
