چکیده
The Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) [1], [2] belongs to the general class of predictive controllers. The authors have proposed an alternative (although equivalent) formulation for the GPC in state space [7]. This formulation is based on a robust observer [5], and the poles selection is closely related to the controller robustness. An important feature of predictive controllers consists of their ability to take explicitly into account hard constraints in their formulation. However, their design must be accompanied by a guarantee of feasibility. There are some papers which deal with this problem [4], [9], [8], [3], although all of them suppose that the state of the process can be measured on-line. However, in some cases, the design of the GPC proposed by the authors cannot measure on-line the process states since they are artificial states, that is to say, not related to physical magnitudes. The authors in the paper [6] extend the results of [3] for the GPC in the case when all the states are on-line measurable. So the state estimation will be presented employing the same ideas of this previous work [6]. When the states have to be observed with the proposed robust observer, the authors show that in the analysis appears a linear but time varying system perturbed with the error in the initial estimation of states. This initial error belongs to a known and bounded set. The main result states that if it is possible to find a collection of non empty sets K j that converge to the maximal robust control invariant set when j increases, the feasibility of GPC control law is guaranteed for all the sampling instants. Finally, this result is verified in a numerical example with a 2 states process.

Genetic Algorithms for Multiobjective Controller Design
Multiobjective optimization strategy so-called Physical Programming allows controller designers a flexible way to express design preferences with a ’physical’ sense. For each objective (settling time, overshoot, disturbance rejection, etc.) preferences are established through categories as desirable, tolerable, unacceptable, etc. assigned to numerical ranges. The problem is translated into a un...
متن کاملWell-Distributed Pareto Front by Using the e-MOGA Evolutionary Algorithm
In the field of multiobjective optimization, important efforts have been made in recent years to generate global Pareto fronts uniformly distributed. A new multiobjective evolutionary algorithm, called ↗−MOGA, has been designed to converge towards ΘP , a reduced but well distributed representation of the Pareto set ΘP . The algorithm achieves good convergence and distribution of the Pareto fron...
متن کاملIdentification of Continuous Processes Parameters Using Genetic Algorithms
This work presents a technique for identifying the parameters of a continuous process using Genetic Algorithms. The flexibility of this technique allows the parameters identification of high order linear models, and non-linear models. One of the advantages is that any type of input signal can be used. This feature is very useful when an industrial process cannot be stopped for specific identifi...
متن کاملMultiobjective Design of a Digital Controller for the Throttle Control Benchmark
A Multiobjective optimization approach is used to propose a set of digital controllers for the throttle control benchmark that fulfills its specifications and requirements. The Multiobjective approach allows us to determine the best set of solutions that characterizes the Pareto set, where each solution has a different trade-off between the design objectives.
