چکیده
Abstract: The study in this paper is motivated by the modeling of control valves with significant stiction. By assuming linear dynamics of the controlled process, the joint characterization of the control valve and of the controlled process is formulated as the identification of an extended Hammerstein system. A point-slope-based hysteresis model is used to describe the input hysteresis nonlinearity of the control valve. An iterative algorithm is proposed to solve the identification problem. The basic idea is to separate the ascent and descent paths of the input hysteresis nonlinearity subject to oscillatory excitations. Some identifiability analysis is performed: the proposed extended Hammerstein model structure is identifiable, and given the true input nonlinearity, the oscillatory signals in feedback control loops are shown to be informative by exploiting the cyclo-stationarity of these oscillatory signals. Industrial examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed identification algorithm in characterizing complicated characteristics of control valve stiction in practice.

Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling.

The identification of Hammerstein systems is discussed for the systems that include memory nonlinearities. The focus is made on nonlinearities of the hysteresis-backlash type. The linear subsystem and the nonlinear element are identified separately. The identification of the former is dealt with combining an appropriate system parametrization and a specific input signal. The latter is designed ...

Stiction is a nonlinear friction phenomenon that causes poor performance of control loops in the process industries.

The introduction of the valve nonlinearity into the model prevents the MPC from requesting physically unre...
