Parameter-dependent controller design for electro-hydraulic servo system

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust controller design for electro-hydraulic servo systems driven by double-rod hydraulic actuators. Firstly, by introducing a linear varying parameter, an electro hydraulic servo system is described as a linear parameter varying(LPV) model. Secondly, based on this LPV model and a parameter-dependent Lyapunov approach, two parameter-dependent controllers are established for the stabilization and tracking problems, respectively. The obtained controllers are simple and their gains can vary with the parameter measured online. Finally, the numerical simulations demonstrate the satisfactory performance of the proposed controllers.
