Linear parameter varying modeling and identification for real-time control of open-flow irrigation canals

Irrigation canals are open-flow water hydraulic systems, whose objective is mainly to convey water from its source down to its final users. They are large distributed systems characterized by non-linearity and dynamic behavior that depends on the operating point. Moreover, in canals with multiple reaches dynamic behavior is highly affected by the coupling among them. The physical model for thos...

Analysis and Control of Linear Parameter-varying Systems

The area of analysis and control of linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems has received much recent attention because of its importance in developing systematic techniques for gain-scheduling. An LPV system resembles a linear system that nonlinearly depends on one or more time-varying parameters. Nonlinear systems are often modeled in the LPV system via the parameterized Jacobian linearization....

Linear Parameter-Varying Control of Complex Mechanical Systems

Abstract: In standard linear fractional representation (LFR)-based linear parameter-varying (LPV) modeling the size of the (diagonal) scheduling block depends on the number of scheduling parameters and their repetitions, which in turn influences both the complexity of synthesis conditions and the computational load during online implementation of LPV controllers. A modeling framework motivated ...

Linear Parameter Varying Control for Sampled-Data Multi-Rate Systems

A new methodology for the design and implementation of linear parameter varying (LVP) controllers for multi-rate sampled-data systems is presented and its stability properties are analyzed. A controller structure is first proposed for the regulation of multi-rate systems with more measured outputs than inputs. This structure is specially suited for a gain-scheduling implementation that verifies...
