Abstract

The paper considers modification of a reaction wheel current control loop based on a fuzzy controller trained by a genetic algorithm. The control logic maintains the motor current which can be represented as a sum of two components, one of which is proportional to the input signal, and the other one corresponds to the error of control moment implementation. It is shown that the system with a fuzzy controller, which implements the variable gain on the error channel, eliminates the torque pulsation and reduces the time of transient processes while adjusting the control actions. The system operation has been simulated by means of MatLab Simulink software to confirm viability of the proposed control loop. The results of the work can be used in developing the advanced systems of spacecraft attitude control.
