Description
Summary:This paper presents a robust input shaping control of an overhead 3D crane. Control of a crane in the presence of wind disturbance during payload hoisting is extremely challenging, as hoisting with wind disturbance causes high unwanted payload sway, which makes payload positioning difficult to achieve. Two robust input shaping techniques are presented, the zero vibration derivative-derivative (ZVDD) and extra insensitive (EI) shapers. Simulations using a nonlinear 3D overhead crane model were performed and the performances of the two robust input shapers are compared. In these investigations a wind disturbance force of magnitude 0.3 N is considered for the robustness test, in addition different payload mass were tested. It is predicted that the method can be very useful in reducing the complexity of closed-loop controllers for both tracking and sway control.
