Title
Explicit Reference Governor For Linear Systems
Abstract
The explicit reference governor is a constrained control scheme that was originally introduced for generic nonlinear systems. This paper presents two explicit reference governor strategies that are specifically tailored for the constrained control of linear time-invariant systems subject to linear constraints. Both strategies are based on the idea of maintaining the system states within an invariant set which is entirely contained in the constraints. This invariant set can be constructed by exploiting either the Lyapunov inequality or modal decomposition. To improve the performance, we show that the two strategies can be combined by choosing at each time instant the least restrictive set. Numerical simulations illustrate that the proposed scheme achieves performances that are comparable to optimisation-based reference governors.
