+++ title = "HAC-HAC" author = ["Thomas Dehaeze"] draft = false +++ Tags : High-Authority Control/Low-Authority Control From ([Preumont 2018](#org4171546)): > The HAC/LAC approach consist of combining the two approached in a dual-loop control as shown in Figure [1](#org5a821d8). The inner loop uses a set of collocated actuator/sensor pairs for decentralized active damping with guaranteed stability ; the outer loop consists of a non-collocated HAC based on a model of the actively damped structure. This approach has the following advantages: > > - The active damping extends outside the bandwidth of the HAC and reduces the settling time of the modes which are outsite the bandwidth > - The active damping makes it easier to gain-stabilize the modes outside the bandwidth of the output loop (improved gain margin) > - The larger damping of the modes within the controller bandwidth makes them more robust to the parmetric uncertainty (improved phase margin) {{< figure src="/ox-hugo/hac_lac_control_architecture.png" caption="Figure 1: HAC-LAC Control Architecture" >}} Nice papers: - ([Williams and Antsaklis 1989](#orgb65b217)) - ([Aubrun 1980](#org9a935c0)) ## Bibliography {#bibliography} Aubrun, J.N. 1980. “Theory of the Control of Structures by Low-Authority Controllers.” _Journal of Guidance and Control_ 3 (5):444–51. .
