| description | Control methods that guarantee stability in the presence of uncertainties are mandatory in space applications. Further, distributed control approaches are beneficial in terms of scalability and to achieve common goals, especially in multi-agent setups like formation control. This paper presents a combination of robust H ∞ control and distributed control using the consensus approach by deriving a distributed consensus-based generalized plant description that can be used in H ∞ synthesis. Special focus was set towards space applications, namely SFF. The presented results show the applicability of the developed distributed robust control method to a simple, though realistic space scenario, namely a spaceborne distributed telescope. By using this approach, an arbitrary number of satellites/agents can be controlled towards an arbitrary formation geometry. Because of the combination with robust H ∞ control, the presented method satisfies the high stability and robustness demands as found e.g., in space applications. |
