Finite-time stabilization and H∞ control of Port-controlled Hamiltonian systems with disturbances and saturation

The finite-time stabilization and finite-time H(∞) control problems of Port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems with disturbances and input saturation (IS) are studied in this paper. First, by designing an appropriate output feedback, a strictly dissipative PCH system is obtained and finite-time stabilization result for nominal system is given. Second, with the help of the Hamilton function method and truncation inequality technique, a novel output feedback controller is developed to make the PCH system finite-time stable when IS occurs. Further, a finite-time H(∞) controller is designed to attenuate disturbances for PCH systems with IS, and sufficient conditions are presented. Finally, a numerical example and a circuit example are given to reveal the feasibility of the obtained theoretical results.
