Behaviour model control for cascaded processes: Application to an electrical drive

Behaviour model control (BMC) is known to increase the robustness of a process control. It has already been applied to electrical drives for single-loop controls. This paper introduces the BMC among others model control strategies and extends its single-loop structure to more complex controls, which need several loops. This extension is applied to a double loop control of a DC machine drive. Simulations and experimental results show that the suggested double-loop BMC yields better results than a classical control, increasing robustness against parameter variations and external disturbances.
