In this paper, in order to handle the high nonlinearity and the sophisticated disturbance in marine engines, a variable sampling rate based active disturbance rejection controller is developed for engine speed control. In the proposed method, the Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) is designed with the consideration of the practical application in engine speed control that is known as the Crank-angle (CA) based or event-based sampling and control, which means the sampling interval varies with the engine speed. Such a problem has not been discussed in any previous study regarding the application of ADRC in engine control. To this end, this paper discusses the convergence of the variable sampling rate based Extended State Observer (ESO), as well as its parameters that guarantee stability. To verify the proposed control scheme more properly, a cycle-detailed hybrid nonlinear engine model is employed. Finally, simulations are carried out on the Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) system to assess the superiority of the proposed strategy. The comparative results with a Fuzzy-Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller demonstrate that the proposed control scheme has better adaptation to engine speed, load disturbances, and stronger robustness towards model uncertainties, which indicates a promising reduction of time and burden for calibrating the controller. It also proved that the proposed CA based ADRC by variable sampling rate method outperforms the general fixed sampling rate ADRC, which is widely used in previous works. Moreover, the successful application of the proposed algorithm via CA based strategy in a real Engine Control Unit (ECU) indicates its huge potential in practical engine control.

The Impact

In this paper, a compound control scheme with linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC) and nonlinear active disturbance rejection control (NLADRC) is designed to stabilize the speed control system of the marine engine. To deal with the high nonlinearity and the complex disturbance and noise conditions in marine engines, the advantages of both LADRC and NLADRC are employed. As the extended state observer (ESO) is affected severely by the inherent characteristics (cyclic speed fluctuation, cylinder-to-cylinder deviations, etc.) of the reciprocating engines, a cycle-detailed hybrid nonlinear engine model is adopted to analyze the impact of such characteristics. Hence, the controller can be evaluated based on the modified engine model to achieve more reliable performance. Considering the mentioned natural properties in reciprocating engines, the parameters of linear ESO (LESO), nonlinear ESO (NLESO), and the switching strategy between LADRC and NLADRC are designed. Finally, various comparative simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and the superiority of switching strategy. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme has prominent control effects both under the speed tracking mode and the condition with different types and levels of load disturbance. This study also reveals that when ADRC related approaches are employed to the reciprocating engine, the impact of the inherent characteristics of such engine on the ESO should be considered well.

Control Scheme

This article presents a fixed-time active disturbance rejection control approach for the attitude control problem of quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle in the presence of dynamic wind, mass eccentricity and an actuator fault. The control scheme applies the feedback linearization technique and enhances the performance of the traditional active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) based on the fixed-time high-order sliding mode method. A switching-type uniformly convergent differentiator is used to improve the extended state observer for estimating and attenuating the lumped disturbance more accurately. A multivariable high-order sliding mode feedback law is derived to achieve fixed time convergence. The timely convergence of the designed extended state observer and the feedback law is proved theoretically. Mathematical simulations with detailed actuator models and real time experiments are performed to demonstrate the robustness and practicability of the proposed control scheme.

Control Scheme

Although the heat integrated distillation is an energy-efficient and environment-friendly separation technology, it has not been commercialized. One of the reasons is that the nonlinear dynamics and the interactions between various control loops have limited the performance of the traditional control strategy. To achieve a high-purity product concentration, a dynamic decoupling control strategy based on active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) is proposed. The effects of interactions, uncertainties and external disturbances can be estimated and rejected by using extended state observer. Considering the constraints on manipulated variables, an optimized ADRC is designed for the first-order system. Moreover, a concentration observer based on a nonlinear wave model is formulated to reduce the number of sensors. In the simulation research, the related internal model control (IMC), multi-loop ADRC and model predictive control (MPC) are compared with the proposed control scheme. The simulation results demonstrate the advantages of the proposed control scheme on tight control, decoupling performance and disturbance rejection for the high-purity heat integrated distillation column.
