A comparison of different control methods for injection valves

Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of different control methods for injection valves. Four control approaches are included: Feedback Linearization, Backstepping, Sliding Mode Control and Lyapunov's Direct Method. The approaches are extended by an adaptive scheme. Control robustness and performance towards noise as well as parameter and system dynamic uncertainty are analysed. Simulation results and a calculation effort evaluation conclude the paper.
