Discusses:
- When to use multivariable control and when not to?
- Two major issues with implementing multivariable control: **gain scheduling** and **integrator wind up protection**
> Inline simple gain and phase margin measured for SISO, "robustness" determination of multivariable control requires complex analyses using **singular value techniques** and **Monte Carlo** simulations.
**When to use multivariable control**:
- System has high input/output coupling and not much separation between loop bandwidth
- System is complex with large number of states
- When sequential SISO loop closure will not meet performance requirements
Importance of having a mechanism to limit the control rate in the synthesis process.
The control rate should be weighted appropriately in order to not saturate the system and stay in the linearity regime.
- importance of scaling the plant prior to synthesis and also replacing pure integrators with slow poles
