STABILITY ANALYSIS OF A CONTROL SYSTEM QITH AN ANTIRESET-WINDUP LIMITER BY LIAPUNOV'S SECOND METHOD

When a saturating control system has integral action, reset windup can cause instability as well as make the system performance unsatisfactory. An antirset-windup (ARW) limiter has been suggested to improve the stability and performance. It has been implemented with analog circuits and tested by simulations. This paper presents the stability condition of a double-integrator plant having the state feedback plus integral-action controller with the ARW limiter by using both Liapunov's second method and graphical method together.
