Özet

Selecting weighting factors for H-infinity controller requires tones of knowledge and experience without guaranteeing obtaining the best results. This paper proposes novel idea for H-infinity controller synthesis using metaheuristics (MHs). The optimisation problem for the H-infinity controller synthesis is posed to find the weighting factors to optimise the control performance subject to stability and control handling constraints. A number of established MHs are used to solve the problem while their performance are investigated. The results indicate that the Artificial Hummingbird Algorithm and Grey Wolf Optimizer is the most efficient algorithm for the optimisation problem of H-infinity flight control design. Based on this study, the performance of several MHs on solving the H-infinity flight control design are examined while the optimum weighting factors for H-infinity flight controller are obtained. This paper is said to be a based line of studying in easy and efficient way for H-infinity controller synthesis using MHs.
