The certainty equivalence principle is used to combine the identification method with a control structure derived from the pole placement problem, which relies on multirate-output controllers. The proposed multirate-output pole placers contain a sampling mechanism in which the system output is detected maw times over one sampling period. Such a control strategy allows us to to arbitrarily assign the poles of the sampled closed-loop system in desired locations and does not make assumptions about the plant other than controllability and observability. An indirect adaptive control scheme is derived, which estimates the unknown plant parameters (and consequently the controller parameters) online from sequential data of the inputs and the outputs of the plant, which as recursively updated within the time limit imposed by a fundamental sampling period Tg. Using the proposed algorithm, the considered adaptive pole placement problem is reduced to the determination of a fictitious static-state feedback controller, due to the merits of multirate-output controllers. Known indirect adaptive pole placement schemes usually resort to the computation of dynamic controllers through the solution of a polynomial Diophantine equation, thus introducing high-order exogenous dynamics in the control loop. Moreover, in maw cases the solution of the Diophantine equation for a desired set of closed-loop eigenvalues might yield an unstable controller, and the overall adaptive pole placement scheme is unstable with unstable compensators because their outputs are unbounded. The proposed control strategy avoids these problems, as the exogenous dynamics introduced is of low order and the controller determination is based on the well-known Ackerman formula. Moreover, persistence of excitation and, therefore, parameter convergence of the continuous-time plant rue provided without making any assumption either about the existence of specific cower sets in which the estimated parameters belong or the coprimeness of the polynomials describing the ARMA model, as compared to known adaptive pole placement schemes. |
