Description
Block Extremum Seeking Control adjusts the parameters of the regulator to find the extremum of the objective function.
To configure the extremum search algorithm, set the appropriate exposure frequencies, demodulation and modulation signals, learning rates, and initial parameter conditions. When setting up the unit, make sure that the system dynamics corresponds to the fastest time scale, the disturbance frequencies correspond to the average time scale, and the filter cutoff frequencies correspond to the slowest time scale. It is possible to implement extreme search controllers in both continuous and discrete time. Changing the time domain of the controller affects the time domain of high-pass filters, low-pass filters and integrators
Ports
Input
#
J
—
objective function

Output
#
theta
—
perturbed parameters
scalar | vector
Details
Perturbed parameters.

# theta_hat — estimated parameters
+
scalar | vector
Details
Use this output port to get estimated parameter values before they are distorted by the modulating signal.
If the parameter value is Number of parameters equal to 1, then theta_hat outputs a scalar signal. Otherwise, theta_hat outputs a vector signal with a length equal to the parameter value Number of parameters.
Dependencies
To use this port, check the box Output estimated parameters.
