Robust Constrained Fuzzy Affine Model Predictive Control With Application to a Fluidized Bed Combustion Plant

Abstract

In this paper, robust constrained model predictive control of uncertain fuzzy affine systems is considered. Based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions, highly efficient robust constrained predictive control approaches are developed so that the closed-loop stability is guaranteed, and the transient control performance is improved even under input or state constraints. Moreover, by using approximate ellipsoid and -procedure, the solution to the fuzzy affine model based predictive control can be cast as a convex optimization problem subject to some linear matrix inequalities, rather than a nonconvex problem via bilinear matrix inequalities as in conventional fuzzy affine model-based control. The proposed controllers are thus easier for real-time implementation in industry. Simulation results on the fluidized bed combustion plant have demonstrated the performance of the proposed approaches.Index Terms-Fluidized bed combustion, fuzzy systems, model predictive control, piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions, robustness.

Fuzzy Model Predictive Control With Enhanced Robustness for Nonlinear System via a Discrete Disturbance Observer

“…Among the advanced control methods, MPC has strong ability to address the issues of transient performance and deal with various constraints during design stage, appearing in [17]- [19]. T-S fuzzy model-based predictive control with the issues of stability and optimization has been designed on the basis of PLFs in [20]. Xia et al developed new sufficient stability conditions for the fuzzy MPC through the technique of slack matrices [21].…”

Robust MPC for polytopic uncertain systems via a high-rate network with the round-robin scheduling

“…However, such as the MPC strategy in Li et al (2015) may not be effective for nominal systems with parameter uncertainties. Therefore, some extensions are made to the inevitable parameter uncertainties ( Song et al, 2016 ; Zhu, Song & Ding, 2018 ; Wang & Song, 2016 ) in the modeling process, which brings about the so-called robust MPC (RMPC) method (see e.g ., Kothare, Balakrishnan & Morari, 1996 ; Zhang et al, 2008 ; Wang, Song & Wei, 2021 ; Wang, Song & Wei, 2020 ; Liu et al, 2018 ).…”

Endec-decoder-based N-step model predictive control: Detectability, stability and optimization

“…In the past few decades, model predictive control (M-PC) strategy has gained much attention from a variety of engineering fields due to its great potential in handling optimal control problems with hard constraints, see e.g. [10,22,39,48]. In practical applications, the desired control inputs of the MPC strategy are calculated by solving a certain moving-horizon online optimization problem.…”
