Fixed order controller design tool
Project description
Focont
Static output feedback and fixed order controller design package for Python
Static output feedback (SOF)
The SOF is the simplest feedback controller structure. It basically feedbacks the system output to the system input after multiplying a constant gain matrix.
This package can calculate a stabilizing SOF gain which also optimizes the norm of the closed loop system.
However, this algorithm works under sufficient conditions. If the problem parameters (listed below) is not appropriate, the algorithm fails and prints an error message.
(See the article, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0142331220943071 , and the PhD thesis, http://hdl.handle.net/11693/54900 , for detailed information and analysis)
The algorithm is purposedly developed for discrete time systems, but it also works for continuous time systems when the SOF is calculated for the zero-order hold discretized version with a sufficiently large sampling frequency.
Furthermore, the algorithm can be used to calculate fixed-order controllers. This need additional entries in the described JSON or mat file.
Please, vizit API docs for the detailed information.
Installation
Create and activate a virtual environment (this step is not required but recommended). Then,
pip install -r requirements.txt
or
pip install numpy scipy
Finally,
pip install .
Also,
It can be installed with pip from pypi
.
pip install focont
Example
from focont import foc, system
pdata = system.load(json_or_mat_filename)
foc.solve(pdata)
foc.print_results(pdata)
You can find json and mat file examples in the /tests
directory.
