Therefore, it may be worth limiting the range of allow-This paper proposes a combined control approach for bilinear dyadic plants consisting of a feedback linearization and of a predictive controller. The embedded feedback linearization allows to restate the predictive problem as a linear one, while the predictive controller can be designed either to improve performance or to avoid reaching input bounds, whibh are known to be a possible cause of instability for atandard feedback linearization. Due to the embedded feedback, however, input constraints on the physical plant are projected into state-dependent constraints on the output of the predictive control. The design of the controller under these constraints is possible either using a minimum-time control design approach or by one-step predictor with time-varying constraints. The final implementation results into a multi-rate system. Simulations are used to illustrate the operation of the system and the different role of the predictor according to the sample rate ratio., as well as other implementation parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
