Abstract
For the superheated steam temperature control system, an optimized disturbance observer and output-constrained control algorithm have been designed. Initially, the original system with output constraints is transformed into a system without any state constraints, suitable for backstepping design, through state transformation. Then, based on the concept of negative gradient optimization, a gain iterative disturbance observer is constructed, which dynamically improves the control accuracy of the system compared to a constant gain disturbance observer. Finally, an adaptive neural control scheme based on the gain iterative disturbance observer is proposed, proving that all output states are constrained within predefined bounds, and all closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly bounded. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated through a simulation example of the superheated steam temperature system.
