Model based, gain-scheduled anti-windup control for LPV systems

In this paper we show that a proposed technique for anti-windup control of exponentially unstable plants can be easily extended to solve the corresponding robust anti-windup problem for linear parameter varying systems, for which the time varying parameters are measured online. For this class of plants, it is shown that the proposed technique is minimally conservative with respect to the size of the resulting operating region: in particular, such a region is (up to an arbitrarily small quantity) exactly the largest set on which asymptotic stability can be guaranteed for the considered plant, for the given saturation level and uncertainty characteristics.
