Integral state-feedback control of linear time-varying systems: A performance preserving approach

An integral extension of state-feedback controllers for linear time-varying plants is proposed, which preserves performance of the nominal controller in the unperturbed case. Similar to time-invariant state feedback with integral action, the controller achieves complete rejection of disturbances whose effective action on the plant is constant with respect to the control input. Moreover, bounded-input bounded-state stability with respect to arbitrary disturbances is shown. A modification for preventing controller windup as well as tuning guidelines are discussed. The efficacy of the proposed technique is demonstrated in simulation for a two-tank system that is linearized along a time-varying reference trajectory.
