Therefore, an electro-hydraulic servo system (EHSS) is employed to actively control two wire ropes tensions to guarantee operation security of the DWHS. Dynamic models of the hoisting system and the EHSS are introduced, of which dynamic model of the DWHS is expressed with state representation. The flatness-based controller (FBC) is designed for the hoisting system. A disturbance observer is utilized to deal with the external disturbance and unmodeled characteristics of the EHSS. Hence, a disturbance observer based integral backstepping controller (DO-BIBC) is designed for the EHSS. The stability of the overall control system is proved by de-fining an overall Lyapunov function. To investigate the property of the proposed controller, an experimental setup of the DWHS is established. As well, comparative experimental results indicate that the proposed controller exhibits a better performance on leveling control of the conveyance and tension coordination control on the two wire ropes than a conventional PI controller.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym13040716","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,19]],"date-time":"2021-04-19T21:59:49Z","timestamp":1618869589000},"page":"716","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Wire Tension Coordination Control of Electro-Hydraulic Servo Driven Double-Rope Winding Hoisting Systems Using a Hybrid Controller Combining the Flatness-Based Control and a Disturbance Observer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6657-6411","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Mine Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhencai","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Mine Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Mine Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechatronic Engineering, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Mine Mechanical and Electrical Equipment, China University of Mining and Technology, Xuzhou 221116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1126","article-title":"A switching-type controller for wire rope tension coordination of electro-hydraulic-controlled double-rope winding hoisting systems","volume":"230","author":"Li","year":"2016","journal-title":"Proc.
