| Summary: | This work addresses the position tracking control design of the stator vane driven by electro-hydrostatic actuators facing uncertain aerodynamic disturbances. Rapidly changing aerodynamic conditions impose complex disturbance torques on the guide vanes. Consequently, a challenging task is to enhance control precision in complex uncertain environments. Inspired by the principles of mammalian muscle movement, a novel robust control strategy based on the backstepping method has been proposed. Using backstepping, virtual rotational speed and virtual pressure difference force are designed, which decompose the high-order position closed-loop control problem into three lower-order parts, eliminating the need for matching conditions. Subsequently, robust controllers were designed, and stability proofs and performance analyses of the controllers were provided. This control strategy was tested through numerical hydraulic simulation. The results show that compared to other control methods, this approach significantly improves tracking accuracy and robustness. Therefore, it is believed that this method has the potential to become a new generation solution for such problems. |
