Multi-Objective Controller Optimization and Robustness Analysis by the Example of Electro-Mechanical Flight Surface Actuation

In this paper the adaption of the software environment ’Multi-Objective Parameter Synthesis’ (MOPS) for controller gain optimization is presented. The definition of the optimization criteria, as well as their implementation to the optimization environment are shown. Worst-case searches are conducted to evaluate the effect of uncertainties on the control loop’s performance and stability. The methodology of this controller optimization and robustness analysis are demonstrated by means of the torque control for electro-mechanical flight surface actuation. This technology is pursued for future commercial aircraft
