Optimal actuator/sensor location for active noise regulator and tracking control problems

摘要

In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding the optimal location of sensors and actuators to achieve reduction of the noise field in an acoustic cavity. We offer two control strategies: the first is based on linear quadratic tracking where the offending noise is tracked, and the second considers the formulation of the harmonic control strategy as a periodic static output feedback control problem. The first method, which is based on full state information, is suitable for optimal location of actuators while the second strategy can extend the results to finding optimal location of sensors as well as actuators. For both methods we consider the optimization of an appropriate quadratic performance criterion with respect to the location of the actuators and/or the sensors. Numerical examples are presented to compare the effectiveness of each control strategy and also the effect of optimal placement of actuators and sensors.
