Robust control of coupled two tank system via LMI

Abstract

The paper compares several methods for robust state-feedback controller design via LMI for a two tank coupled system and discusses qualities of the respective LMI solutions. LMI approach is used to design a controller guaranteeing quadratic or parameter dependent robust stability, H2 and Hinf performance specification for uncertain linearized model of two tank system. The results obtained using LMI and SeDuMi solvers are compared.
