Modelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method

Authors

Abstract:

Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In this paper, a method based on Robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) is proposed to overcome model uncertainty together with unknown delay caused in NCSs. The previous RMPC methods, called as Normal RMPC, was proposed to compensate delay or model uncertainty, individually. Hereby, we propose a method so-called Improved RMPC to compensate the effects of delay and model uncertainty in NCSs, simultaneously. The proposed method is based on uncertainty polytope and LMIs (Linear Matrix Inequlities). Also, an experimental evaluation of time-delays in MODBUS networked control systems is proposed. The simulation results show the ability of the proposed method. For comparison, the Normal RMPC is applied as well. The results show that the Normal RMPC has an acceptable performance for time delay compensation, but its performance gets destroyed or even get unstable when the model uncertainty is considered, too

Time Delay and Data Dropout Compensation in Networked Control Systems Using Extended Kalman Filter

In networked control systems, time delay and data dropout can degrade the performance of the control system and even destabilize the system. In the present paper, the Extended Kalman filter is employed to compensate the effects of time delay and data dropout in feedforward and feedback paths of networked control systems. In the proposed method, the extended Kalman filter is used as an observer ...

Robust Control for Uncertain Networked Control Systems with Random Delays

Networked control systems (NCSs) are a type of distributed control systems where sensors, actuators, and controllers are interconnected through a communication network. This system setup has the advantage of low cost, flexibility, and less wiring, but it also inevitably invites some delays and data loss into the design procedure. The focus of this thesis is to address the problem of analysis an...

A New Method for Time-Delay Compensation in Control Systems

In this paper a new method is introduced and investigated for removing the destabilizing effects of time-delay parameter in control loops. The concept of the method is taken from the knowledge concerning the dynamic behaviour of irrational transfer functions (Ir-TF), which is discussed and investigated elswhere in frequency response domain and is explained briefly here. Ir-TFs, which are we...

Stabilization of Networked Control Systems with Variable Delays and Saturating Inputs

In this paper, improved conditions for the synthesis of static state-feedback controller are derived to stabilize networked control systems (NCSs) subject to actuator saturation. Both of the data packet latency and dropout which deteriorate the performance of the closed-loop system are considered in the NCS model via variable delays. Two different techniques are employed to incorporate actuator...
