Additional optimization parameter for a simplified design of third generation CRONE controllers

Although the CRONE Control System Design toolbox for Matlab makes it possible to optimize the parameters of robust controllers, it appears that the performance of the optimized controllers depends on the users´ experience. New optimization criteria facilitating the CRONE design of controllers that are as robust and as efficient as possible have therefore been proposed. This paper proposes to optimize an additional design parameter that simplifies the choice of the required nominal model of the plant. A high dynamic Engine-Dynamometer test-bed MIMO control problem is used to show the efficiency of this modified third generation CRONE design.
