Multi-objective parameter synthesis (MOPS)

Abstract

Multi-objective parameter synthesis (MOPS) provides a systematic way for computational control law tuning by directly specifying and iterating bounds and demands on stability quality, control performance, and physical control realization constraints. The design can be based on linear or non-linear models and the controller structure can be chosen in a convenient way taking advantage of the design engineer’s knowledge and prior expertise. Given design specifications can be transformed directly into the mathematical design criteria needed for performing the method. Variations in structured parameter sets and operating conditions are taken care of by a multi-model formulation. The multi-objective/multi-model parameter tuning is done in a goal-oriented way by applying parameter optimisation. In this contribution it is shown that the MOPS systematic can be used to develop robust flight control systems with good performance and passenger comfort.
