Synthesis and experimental validation of the novel LQ-NEMCSI adaptive strategy on an electronic throttle valve

This paper is concerned with the design of a novel adaptive controller, namely the linear quadratic new extended minimal control synthesis with integral action (LQ-NEMCSI). We present for the first time the analytical proof of asymptotic stability of the controller and experimental evidence of the algorithm effectiveness for controlling an electronic throttle body: an element of any drive-by-wire system in automotive engineering, affected by many nonlinear perturbations.
