Abstract

This article introduces an output prediction method for a general class of closed-loop reset control systems. The considered type of system consists of a linear time-invariant (LTI) part which is connected in feedback with a reset controller that (partially) resets (a part of) its states when its input is equal to zero. Given some practical assumptions on the reset element’s input signal, the system output can be accurately predicted when the system is subject to a sinusoidal input. One benefit of this approach is that it provides an intuitive frequency-domain representation of the system. Another benefit is that output prediction can be done based solely on a frequency-response function (FRF) of the LTI part of the system. This article also introduces an accurate and computationally efficient algorithm which can – based on the predicted output – compute a closed-loop pseudo-sensitivity. This pseudo-sensitivity represents the ratio between the maximum absolute value of the system’s output and the amplitude of its input, similar to the closed-loop sensitivity functions for LTI systems.
