    Abstract

    In this article, the position-tracking problem for magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) systems is addressed by handling the model nonlinearities and uncertainties of parameters and loads. The first feature is devising a variable cut-off frequency algorithm enhancing the transient tracking performance by updating the feedback gain accordingly. The second is introducing the disturbance observer (DOB) improving the disturbance attenuation performance with the offset-free property, which corresponds to the replacement of tracking error integrators. The simulation results numerically demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique considering model-plant mismatches and load variations.
