Autonomous Vehicles Control, Part XIV: Satellite Yaw Angle Control using 2DOF-3, PD-PI and PI-PD Controllers Compared with a PID Controller

Research Article

Abstract

This is the 14th part in a series of research papers investigating autonomous vehicles control. The paper proposes three controllers from the second generation of PID controllers handled by the author since 2014. The paper proposes the 2DOF-3, PD PI and PI-PD controllers to control the yaw angle of a satellite. The controllers are tuned using tuning techniques based on zero/pole cancelation, desired characteristics of the closed-loop controller comprising the controller and the satellite yaw angle process and using the MATLAB optimization toolbox. The effectiveness of using the proposed controllers is evaluated through comparison with the use of a conventional PID controller from the first generation of PID controllers and the best controller for the purpose of satellite yaw angle control is assigned.
