Stabilization of the Cart–Inverted-Pendulum System Using State-Feedback Pole-Independent MPC Controllers

Abstract

In this paper, a pole-independent, single-input, multi-output explicit linear MPC controller is proposed to stabilize the fourth-order cart–inverted-pendulum system around the desired equilibrium points. To circumvent an obvious stability problem, a generalized prediction model is proposed that yields an MPC controller with four tuning parameters. The first two parameters, namely the horizon time and the relative cart–pendulum weight factor, are automatically adjusted to ensure a priori prescribed system gain margin and fast pendulum response while the remaining two parameters, namely the pendulum and cart velocity weight factors, are maintained as free tuning parameters. The comparison of the proposed method with some optimal control methods in the absence of disturbance input shows an obvious advantage in the average peak efficiency in favor of the proposed SIMO MPC controller at the price of slightly reduced speed efficiency. Additionally, none of the compared controllers can achieve a system gain margin greater than 1.63, while the proposed one can go beyond that limit at the price of additional degradation in the speed efficiency.

Study on the Optimal Operation of Indoor Heating Considering the Envelope Structure in the Context of Time-Sharing Tariff

“…After one day of running, the indoor temperature returned to around 18℃. The four operation optimization schemes are electricity price operation scheme, coefficient of performance operation scheme [6], fixed period operation scheme, and electricity price/coefficient of performance operation scheme. The four optimized operation schemes are shown in When the electricity price/coefficient of performance is less than 0.2, improve the heating intensity; when the electricity price/coefficient of performance is greater than 0.2, reduce the heating intensity…”

Design and stability analysis of semi-implicit cascaded proportional-derivative controller for underactuated cart-pole inverted pendulum system

“…Among all underactuated systems, cartpole system has been a classic benchmark model that absorbs uncertainty, coupling, nonlinearity, non-minimum phase, multivariable and instability, which encompasses a majority of other underactuated systems. Therefore, the research into cartpole system has a fundamental significance to gain insight into other system dynamics [4].…”

Gain-Scheduled Model Predictive Control for Cart–Inverted-Pendulum with Friction and Disturbances

“…Due to the use of multi-step prediction, rolling optimization, feedback correction, and other control strategies, the model predictive control algorithm has advantages such as good control effects and strong robustness [43,44]. In [45], a single MPC is designed to stabilize the CIPS. However, in the design of this single MPC, the dynamic equation of the CIPS is overly simplified as a linearized system around the upright position of the SIP.…”
