Abstract:
This lecture first gives a brief review on the connection among the classical Lyapunov stability analysis, modern differential geometric control and the notion of passivity from circuit systems. Then, a passivity-based framework is presented for adaptive control of general nonlinear systems with nonlinear parameterization. Under the assumptions that the system has stable free dynamics and satisfies controllability-like conditions characterized by the Lie brackets of affine vector fields, it is proved that there exist LgV-type adaptive controllers that not only asymptotically regulate the state of the nonlinearly parameterized system but also guarantee global stability of the closed-loop system. The design of LgV-type adaptive controllers is also included. Applications of the proposed adaptive control scheme are presented, including an interesting case of a DC-microgrid with PV and battery system.
