A GGP approach to solve non convex min-max predictive controller for a class of constrained MIMO systems described by state-space models

Abstract

This paper proposes a new method to solve non convex min-max predictive controller for a class of constrained linear Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) systems. A parametric uncertainty state space model is adopted to describe the dynamic behavior of the real process. Moreover, the output deviation method is used to design the j-step ahead output predictor. The control law is obtained by the resolution of a non convex min-max optimization problem under input constraints. The key idea is to transform the initial non convex optimization problem to a convex one by means of variable transformations. To this end, the Generalized Geometric Programming (GGP) which is a global deterministic optimization method is used. An efficient implementation of this approach will lead to an algorithm with a low computational burden. Simulation results performed on Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) system show successful set point tracking, constraints satisfaction and good non-zero disturbance rejection.

Robust model predictive control of uncertain fractional systems: a thermal application

“…For a better comparison, two types of controllers are tested: an FMPC and the proposed Robust RFMPC. In all experiences, the sample time is equal to 20 s and the designed predictive controller parameters are fixed as follows: N 1 = 1, N 2 = 15 and λ = 1 The FMPC controller is designed based on the average transfer function given in (27). This function is expressed by (6), where ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ h = 0.1 seconds ; L = 3; M = 0; b 0 = 1.61; α b0 = 0 a 0 = 1; a 1 = 7.135; a 2 = 139.46; a 3 = 126.915 α a0 = 0; α a1 = 0.5; α a2 = 1; α a3 = 1.5…”

Filled Function Method for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

“…The MPC algorithm presents the major advantage to efficiently handle constraints on input and output [2][3][4]. MPC is also able to control a wide variety of processes starting from systems that present a simple behavior like linear process [5] as well as those that exhibit more complex behavior like nonlinear [6,7] and multivariable process [8].…”
