Energy-Based In-Domain Control and Observer Design for Infinite-Dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we consider infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems with in- domain actuation by means of an approach based on Stokes-Dirac structures as well as in a framework that exploits an underlying jet-bundle structure. In both frameworks, a dynamic controller based on the energv-Casimir method is derived in order to stabilise certain equilibrias. Moreover, we propose distributed-parameter observers deduced by exploiting damping injection for the observer error. Finally, we compare the approaches by means of an in-domain actuated vibrating string and show the equivalence of the control schemes derived in both frameworks.
