Comparison between H2 and H Optimal Control Solutions for a Combined Energy and Attitude Control System

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper focuses on applying optimal control solutions to combined energy storage and attitude control system (CEACS) under different reference missions. In previous researches, the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method, the PID-active force control method and H2 control were tested for CEACS and achieved its mission requirement. However, problems such as the in-orbit system uncertainties affect the PID control performances. Thus, two optimal control methods, H2 and H controls are proposed and tested on CEACS under different mission scenarios to improve its pitch attitude accuracy. Results show that both H2 and H are able to achieve the reference mission requirement even under the influence of uncertainties (non-ideal). Moreover comparison between H2 and H shows the H2 is a better control option for CEACS in terms of disturbance rejection.
