Abstract
This paper applies different control design
methods to a tethered satellite system (TSS) to investigate
essential control properties of this under-actuated and
nonlinear system. When the tether position in the orbit
plane is controlled by the tether current, out of orbit
plane motions occur as an unwanted side effect, due to
nonlinear interaction with the Earth’s magnetic field. This
paper focus on the uncontrollable out-of-plane motions and
the robustness against B-field uncertainty associated with
each of three popular controller design methodologies for
nonlinear systems: linear quadratic feedback designed for
the controllable subspace of the system, a feedback linearization
design and a sliding mode control. The controllers are
evaluated by their ability to suppress variations in the B-field
and their robustness with respect to the internal dynamics.
