description <p>This thesis develops techniques for the design and analysis of controllers to achieve sub-micron accuracy on the position of electron beams for the optimal performance of synchrotrons. The techniques have been applied to Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility. Electron beam motion in synchrotrons is considered as a large-scale, two-dimensional process and by using basis functions, controllable modes of the process are identified which are independent and allow the design to be approached in terms of a family of single-input, single-output transfer functions. This thesis develops techniques for the design and analysis of controllers to achieve sub-micron accuracy on the position of electron beams for the optimal performance of synchrotrons. The techniques have been applied to Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron facility. Electron beam motion in synchrotrons is considered as a large-scale, two-dimensional process and by using basis functions, controllable modes of the process are identified which are independent and allow the design to be approached in terms of a family of single-input, single-output transfer functions. In this thesis, loop shaping concepts for dynamical systems are applied to the two-dimensional frequency domain to meet closed loop specifications. Spatial uncertainties are modelled by complex Fourier matrices and the closed loop robust stability, in the presence of spatial uncertainties is analysed within an Integral Quadratic Constraint framework. Two extensions to the unconstrained, single-actuator array controller design are considered. The first being anti-windup augmentation to give satisfactory performance when rate limit constraints are imposed on the actuators and the second being a strategy to account for two arrays of actuators with different dynamics. The resulting control schemes offer both stability and performance guarantees within structures that are feasible for online computation in real time.</p>
