This paper examined system identification using grey-box model estimation and position-tracking control for an electro-hydraulic servo system (EHSS) using hybrid controller composed of proportional-integral control (PIC) and model predictive control (MPC). The nonlinear EHSS model is represented by differential equations. We identify model parameters and verify their accuracy against experimental data in MATLAB to evaluate the validity of this mathematical model. To guarantee improved performance of EHSS and precision of cylinder position, we propose a hybrid controller composed of PIC and MPC. The controller is designed using the Control Design and Simulation module in the Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). A LabVIEW-based experimental rig is developed to apply the proposed controller in real time. Then, the validity and performance superiority of the hybrid controller were confirmed by comparing them with the MPC and PIC results. Results of real-life experiments show improved robustness and dynamic and static properties of EHSS.

This paper focuses on high performance adaptive robust position control of electro-hydraulic servo system. The main feature of the paper is the combination of adaptive robust algorithm with discrete disturbance estimation to cope with the parametric uncertainties, uncertain nonlinearities, and external disturbance in the hydraulic servo system. First of all, a mathematical model of the single-rod position control system is developed and a nonlinear adaptive robust controller is proposed using the backstepping design technique. Adaptive robust control is used to encompass the parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities. Subsequently, a discrete disturbance estimator is employed to compensate for the effect of strong external disturbance. Furthermore, a special Lyapunov function is formulated to handle unknown nonlinear parameters in the system state equations. Simulations are carried out, and the results validate the superior performance and robustness of the proposed method.

Adaptive control systems are one of the most significant research directions of modern control theory. It is well known that every mechanical appliance’s behavior noticeably depends on environmental changes, functioning-mode parameter changes and changes in technical characteristics of internal functional devices. An adaptive controller involved in control process allows reducing an influence of such changes. In spite of this such type of control methods is applied seldom due to specifics of a controller designing. The work presented in this paper shows the design process of the adaptive controller built by Lyapunov’s function method for a hydraulic servo system. The modeling of the hydraulic servo system were conducting with MATLAB® software including Simulink® and Symbolic Math Toolbox™. In this study, the Jacobi matrix linearization of the object’s mathematical model and derivation of the suitable reference models based on Newton’s characteristic polynomial were applied. In addition, an intelligent adaptive control algorithm and system model including its nonlinearities was developed to solve Lyapunov’s equation. Developed algorithm works properly and considered plant is met requirement of functioning with. The results shows that the developed adaptive control algorithm increases system performance in use devices significantly and might be used for correction of system’s behavior and dynamics.
