Decentralized Approaches to Antiwindup Design with Application to Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Decentralized Approaches to Antiwindup Design with Application to Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This paper considers the design of structured antiwindup (AW) compensators for open-loop stable plants that themselves have a particular structure: a diagonal dynamic part cascaded with a static invertible part. Two approaches to the design of such compensators are proposed. The first one is a pseudodecentralized AW compensator that is a direct extension of a similar scheme in the literature. The second approach allows the AW compensators to be designed individually for each control channel and, provided that a certain linear program is satisfied, allows the compensators to be implemented in such a way that the nonlinear closed loop is asymptotically stable. The design approaches are applied to a quadrotor UAV, which inspired the work, and results from both simulations and flight tests are reported.

Abstract
This paper considers the design of structured antiwindup (AW) compensators for open-loop stable plants that themselves have a particular structure: a diagonal dynamic part cascaded with a static invertible part. Two approaches to the design of such compensators are proposed. The first one is a pseudodecentralized AW compensator that is a direct extension of a similar scheme in the literature. The second approach allows the AW compensators to be designed individually for each control channel and, provided that a certain linear program is satisfied, allows the compensators to be implemented in such a way that the nonlinear closed loop is asymptotically stable. The design approaches are applied to a quadrotor UAV, which inspired the work, and results from both simulations and flight tests are reported.
