A computationally efficient Model-Predictive Control (MPC) approach is proposed for systems with unknown delay using only input/output data. We use the Koopman operator framework and the related Hankel Alternative View of Koopman (HAVOK) algorithm to identify a model in a basis of projected time-delay coordinates and demonstrate a novel MPC structure that reduces and bounds the computational complexity. The proposed HAVOK-MPC approach is validated experimentally on a laboratory-scale District Heating System (DHS), demonstrating excellent prediction and tracking performance while only requiring knowledge of a conservative upper bound on the system delay.
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.
