Algebraic estimation and active disturbance rejection in the control of flat systems

This paper proposes a feedback method for the control of uncertain systems with unknown external disturbances, which includes an algebraic estimator and relies on the Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) approach. The proposed estimator considers a generalized disturbance in order to deal with systems which may simultaneously present time varying parameters, external disturbances, un-modeled dynamics, and process noise. The on-line...
