Abstract
A control system for controlling stick-slip oscillations in a drilling system is disclosed. The control system includes a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor with computer program instructions stored therein. The instructions are configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a communication including a value of a drilling system parameter, determine based on the value of the drilling system parameter, a value for a torque to be applied to a drill string to reduce the effect of stick-slip oscillations, and transmit to a drive system the value for the torque to be applied by the drive system. The value for the torque to be applied by the drive system is determined by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities including a disturbance minimization linear matrix inequality, a first magnitude constraint linear matrix inequality, and a second magnitude constraint linear matrix inequality.
