Iterative interaction decoupling for multivariate time-varying systems applied to a Gravitational Wave Detector

conference paper
Some of the feedback loops in the Advanced Virgo+ Gravitational Wave detector exhibit strong coupling and this coupling also varies over time. This paper presents a method to decouple the loops using a decoupling matrix, removing restrictions on the attainable performance of the feedback loops. The presented method performs batch-wise identification of the coupling matrix using only a single sinusoid per loop as perturbation by exploiting the specific structure of the plant to interpolate between frequency bins. The presented method is implemented on AdV+ and is shown to lead to significant decoupling of the loops and to keep the interaction terms low over time.
