Adaptive controller design for nonlinear uncertain systems using multiple model based two level adaptation technique

Abstract

Adaptive control technique is a popular and successful control strategy for controlling nonlinear uncertain systems However using adaptive control schemes in parametrically uncertain environments often leads to poor transient response and sluggish steady state response Use of multiple estimation models has been found to be promising in addressing these issues This thesis proposes an adaptive control method for nonlinear uncertain systems using multiple model based two level adaptation MMTLA
