Sliding Mode Control Based on High-Order Linear Extended State Observer for Near Space Vehicle

Abstract

Aiming at the uncertainty and external disturbance sensitivity of the near space vehicles (NSV), a novel sliding mode controller based on the high-order linear extended state observer (LESO) is designed in this paper. In the proposed sliding mode controller, the double power reaching law is adopted to enhance the state convergence rate, and the high-order LESO is designed to improve the antidisturbance ability. Moreover, the appropriate observer bandwidth and extended order are selected to further reduce or even eliminate the disturbance by analyzing their influences on the observer performance. Finally, the simulation demonstrations are given for the NSV control system with uncertain parameters and external disturbances. The theoretical analyses and simulation results consistently indicate that the proposed high-order LESO with carefully selected extended order and observer bandwidth has better performance than the traditional ones for the nonlinear NSV system with parametric uncertainty and external disturbance.
