Introduction to AWAST : the anti-windup analysis and synthesis toolbox

Anti-windup compensators are widely used in control systems in order to minimize the negative effects of actuators saturations on stability and performance. But, despite recent theoretical advances in this field, the computation of such compensators is often realized by a trial-and-error simulation-...

Description
Summary:Anti-windup compensators are widely used in control systems in order to minimize the negative effects of actuators saturations on stability and performance. But, despite recent theoretical advances in this field, the computation of such compensators is often realized by a trial-and-error simulation-based approach. An alternative method is proposed in this paper which is essentially devoted to the presentation of a new MATLAB copy toolbox. This freely-available software implements a collection of routines which are based on recent results in anti-windup analysis and synthesis techniques. Moreover, a userfriendly SIMULINK copy interface has been developed in order to fasten the definition of anti-windup design and simulation diagrams.
