Robust PID tuning strategy for uncertain plants based on the
Kharitonov theorem

Abstract
In this paper, the Kharitonov theorem for interval plants is exploited for the purpose of synthesizing a stabilizing
controller. The aim here is to develop a controller to simultaneously stabilize the four Kharitonov-de®ned vortex
polynomials. Di€erent from the prevailing works, the controller is designed systematically and graphically through the
search of a non-conservative Kharitonov region in the controller coecient parameter plane. The region characterizes
all stabilizing PID controllers that stabilize an uncertain plant. Thus the relationship between the Kharitonov region
and the stabilizing controller parameters is manifest. Extensively, to further guarantee the system with certain robust
safety margins, a virtual gain phase margin tester compensator is added. Stability analysis is carried out. The control
system is proved to maintain robustness at least to the pre-speci®ed margins. The synthesized controller with coe-
cients selected from the obtained non-conservative Kharitonov region can stabilize the concerned uncertain plants and
ful®ll system speci®cations in terms of gain margins and phase margins. # 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
