Abstract

Digital repetitive control is a technique which allows to track periodic references and/or reject periodic disturbances. Repetitive controllers are usually designed assuming a fixed frequency for the signals to be tracked/rejected, its main drawback being a dramatic performance decay when this frequency varies. A usual approach to overcome the problem consists of an adaptive change of the sampling time according to the reference/disturbance period variation. However, this sampling period adaptation implies parametric changes affecting the closed-loop system behavior, that may compromise the system stability. This article presents a design strategy which allows to compensate for the parametric changes caused by sampling period adjustment. Stability of the digital repetitive controller working under time-varying sampling period is analyzed. Theoretical developments are illustrated with experimental results.
