A Discrete Linear Adaptive Controller with a Linear Quadratic Regulator Derived Proportional Derivative Controller

Recently, a linear adaptive control strategy based on Discrete Disturbance Accommodating Control theory (DAC) has appeared in the literature. This approach permits an entirely linear controller with constant parameters. The adaptive DAC approach is combined with a Linear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) derived Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller for setpoint control of a simulated Thermal Control System on board the Space Station Freedom (SSF). An Application Generator is used for simulation.
