Product Description

LPVC ontrol

Parameter dependent dynamics are common in engineering systems, e.g. aircraft dynamics change as a function of dynamic pressure. The LPV theory provides a framework to model these parameter dependent dynamics. The Linear Parameter-Varying Toolbox (LPVTools) is a toolbox for modeling, analysis and synthesis in the Linear Parameter-Varying framework (LPV). LPV framework provides a mathematically rigorous approach to the design of gain-scheduled controllers, with powerful guarantees on their performance and robustness in the presence of time-varying dynamics and uncertainty.

LPVTools provides LPV data structures and a set of tools for modeling, simulation, analysis and synthesis in the LPV framework. Its capabilities include tools for synthesis of parameter-varying output feedback controllers, state-feedback controllers, and estimators, which yield optimized performance for a given set of allowable parameter trajectories. Tools are provided for analysis of the stability and input-to-output gain of LPV systems (with and without uncertainty). Tools are provided for performing model reduction on LPV models. And finally, tools are provided for simulating the time-domain response of LPV systems along user-supplied parameter trajectories.
