Abstract:
The paper proposes three Gain-Scheduling (GS) control design approaches dedicated to the position control of electromagnetic actuated clutch systems. The initial nonlinear mathematical model of the plant is simplified and next linearized at six operating points to use it in the design approaches. Starting with classical Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers, three GS control versions, namely Lagrange, Cauchy and Switching GS, are next designed to ensure zero steady-state control error and the switching between PI controllers. All control solutions are tested and validated on the nonlinear model of the plant and a comparative analysis is included.
