Mpc Design for Constrained Multivariable Systems under Actuator Backlash

چکیده
A new approach to the design of Model Predictive Controller (MPC) that simultaneously addresses the actuator saturation and backlash is proposed in this paper. The discrete characteristics of the actuator backlash allows one to reformulate the input constraints as a set of mixed integer linear inequalities. As a result, the MPC is designed by solving a Mixed-integer Quadratic Programming problem. Simulation results are presented to show how this new approach performs as compared to the existing techniques of the backlash compensation when they are applied to an industrial case study.

Constrained Controller Design for Real-time Delay Recovery in Metro Systems
This study is concerned with the real-time delay recovery problem in metro loop lines. Metro is the backbone of public transportation system in large cities. A discrete event model for traffic system of metro loop lines is derived and presented. Two effective automatic controllers, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and model predictive controller (MPC), are used to recover train delays. A newly-...
متن کاملModel Predictive Control of Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems
Model Predictive Control (MPC) of vapor compression systems (VCSs) offers several advantages over conventional control methods (such as multivariable process control with selector logic) in terms of 1) the resulting closed-loop performance and 2) the control engineering design process. VCSs are multivariable systems and feature constraints on system variables and actuators that must be enforced...
متن کاملDesign and Practical Implementation of a New Markov Model Predictive Controller for Variable Communication Packet Loss in Network Control Systems
The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...
متن کاملFault-tolerant Control for Constrained Linear Systems Based on Mpc and Fdi
This paper considers fault-tolerant control (FTC) for constrained linear systems subject to partial actuator failures. An active fault-tolerant control scheme based on model predictive control (MPC) and fault detection and isolation (FDI) is proposed. The FDI module using a two-stage Kalman filtering algorithm provides simultaneous control parameter and state estimation, which are used to modif...
متن کاملModel Predictive Control of Automotive Powertrains with Backlash
In automotive powertrains, the existence of backlash causes driveability problems, which to some extent are remedied by the engine control system. The control problem has a constrained, minimum-time character, which motivates an investigation of the usability of model predictive control, MPC, in this application. Recent developments in MPC theory make an off-line calculation of the control law ...
