Model Predictive Control of Gantry Crane with Input Nonlinearity Compensation

چکیده
Abstract—This paper proposed a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) method for the control of gantry crane. One of the main motivations to apply MPC to control gantry crane is based on its ability to handle control constraints for multivariable systems. A pre-compensator is constructed to compensate the input nonlinearity (nonsymmetric dead zone with saturation) by using its inverse function. By well tuning the weighting function matrices, the control system can properly compromise the control between crane position and swing angle. The proposed control algorithm was implemented for the control of gantry crane system in System Control Lab of University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), and achieved desired experimental results.

Control Schemes for Input Tracking and Anti-sway Control of a Gantry Crane
This paper presents investigations into the development of hybrid control schemes for input tracking and anti-sway control of a gantry crane system. A nonlinear overhead gantry crane system is considered and the dynamic model of the system is derived using the Euler-Lagrange formulation. To study the effectiveness of the controllers, an LQR control is developed for cart position control of a ga...

In order to incorporate fuzzy goals and constraints in model predictive control, this control technique have recently been integrated with fuzzy decision making. The goals and the constraints of the control problem are combined by using a decision function from the theory of fuzzy sets. This technique have been studied for single-input single-output processes. This paper extends this approach f...
متن کاملHybrid Fuzzy Logic Control with Input Shaping for Input Tracking and Sway Suppression of a Gantry Crane System
Problem statement: Most of the common gantry crane results in a sway motion when transporting the load as fast as possible. In addition, precise cart position control of gantry crane must required a zero or near zero residual sway. Approach: In this study, the development of hybrid control schemes for input tracking and anti-sway control of a gantry crane system was investigated. To study the e...
متن کاملActive Sway Control of a Gantry Crane by an Electrical Ducted Fan
Sway reduction is very vital in a nonlinear oscillatory system such as a gantry crane. In this paper, a new design is proposed for active sway control of a gantry crane using an electrical ducted fan. The thrust force developed by the motor is used to cancel out payload oscillation. A dynamic model of the crane with a ducted fan is derived and simulated using Matlab. Performance of the proposed...
متن کاملA Control of an Electromagnetic Actuator Using Model Predictive Control
In permanent magnetic machines the nonlinearity due to the quadratic terms of the current makes difficulties in the control system. In order to cancel the nonlinearity, a strategy based on a pre-compensation action, which is conceived through two input partition matrices is presented. After canceling the nonlinearity a Model Predictive Control is used to obtain a positioning of the actuator. Si...
