It is seen in Figure 4.23 that the performance of the nonlinear H1 solution and the nonlinear H 2 solution provide similar performance, with the robust design being slightly inferior, similar to the linearized case. The question becomes now, what exactly is gained by using such 'robust' design methodologies? As is shown in Chapter 5, the H1 designs do provide better performance on the hardware, a vindication of robust design methodology. 4.3 Tabulated Results Table 4.1 shows how the numbers compare for the various control strate- gies. The linearized H 2 was easily the best performer, while the passivity-based control yielded the worst results. The backstepping algorithm was the best oscillation damper, despite its high rst-state energy, but it also used a lot more control e ort than the other designs. Disappointingly, the nonlinear control laws do not particu- larly stand out as notably superior to the linearized ones: perhaps the TORA system is too easily stabilized and not appropriate for a nonlinear benchmark problem.
