Abstract

Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) exemplifies the spirit of the data-driven control (DDC) design strategy and shows much promise in obtaining consistent applications in industrial control systems with uncertainties, without the premise that the detailed mathematical model of the controlled system is given. Instead, it is shown that the information needed for the control system to work at high level of effectiveness can be extracted from the input-output data by the use of the extended state observer (ESO). On the other hand, it is shown in this paper that the robustness of ADRC depends on the effectiveness of ESO. Furthermore, taking advantage of the rich body of knowledge in the existing field of robust control, the estimation error in ESO is analysed and, for the purpose of improved robustness, a unique nonlinear component is added to the conventional ADRC law. The modified ADRC which is a kind of robust ADRC law is validated in simulation for a nonlinear time-varying system with parametric and functional uncertainties. It is shown that the proposed robust ADRC law provides more effective tracking performance than the conventional ADRC when the bandwidth of ESO is not wide enough.
