Abstract and Figures

This work presents a constrained multivariable model predictive controller using Laguerre Functions. This controller uses a set of orthonormal Laguerre networks for representation of the control trajectory within a control horizon. In order to demonstrate the advantages of applying this type of controller in MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) systems, the Laguerre Functions Functions are used to decrease the computational load used to calculate the optimal control. In addition, It improves the compromise between control signal viability and closed-loop performance of the system. The Laguerre Functions are also used in conjunction with Hildreth’s Quadratic Programming to find the optimal solution for the case where the control signal is constrained. The proposed controller presents advantages when compared to the classical model predictive control approach, where forward shift operators are used to predict the future trajectory of the control signal, leading to unsatisfactory solutions and a high computational load for cases where the control signal demands a long prediction horizon and a high closed-loop performance.It is also reported the practical testes with a robotic manipulator configured as a MIMO system with three inputs and three outputs and tests simulated with the Wood and Berry binary distillation column which is a MIMO system with two inputs and two outputs, also ontaining transport time delays. The tests aim to compare the controller results presented with the traditional predictive control approach and thereby demonstrate the advantages of the method using the Laguerre functions and their efficiency for MIMO systems. Key-words: Model predictive control, Laguerre Functions, Hildreth’s Quadratic Programming, Multivariable control.

Utilising Laguerre function in predictive functional control to ensure prediction consistency
Conference Paper
Full-text available
  • Aug 2016
This work proposes the use of Laguerre function in Predictive Functional Control (PFC) to produce well-posed decision making. The constant control input assumption of a classical PFC is replaced with the Laguerre polynomial and the steady state input of a system. With this slight modification, better consistency between model predictions and an actual system behaviour is achieved. In addition, the effectiveness of desired closed-loop time constant as PFC tuning parameter becomes more significant. The coding and tuning processes of the proposed approach are very straightforward and in line with the key selling points of PFC.

Multivariable Repetitive-Predictive Control of Robot Arm with Experimental Results
Conference Paper
  • Aug 2011
A multivariable predictive-repetitive controller has recently been reported that uses a frequency response decomposition technique to detect the dominant frequency components in the reference signal for each output and embeds these in the controller. This paper reports new experimental results on a robot arm configured as a two-input two-output system, which demonstrate the closed-loop performance of the predictive-repetitive control system in terms of reference trajectory following, disturbance rejection, and measurement noise attenuation. Furthermore, it is shown that the bandwidth of the predictive-repetitive control system is strongly dependent on the number of frequencies embedded in the design. The larger the number of frequencies, the wider the bandwidth of the closed-loop system. As a result of wider bandwidth, measurement noise is amplified and unmodeled dynamics in the higher frequency band can cause the closed-loop system to become unstable.

Two-degree-of-freedom multirate generalized predictive control based on state-space representation
Conference Paper
  • Nov 2016
This study proposes a new design for generalized predictive control in a multirate system in which the sampling interval of the plant output is an integer multiple of the hold interval of the control input. We design a system with one degree of freedom, and then, for integral action we extend it to two degrees of freedom. Because the integral compensation is revealed only when a modeling error or a disturbance arises, the integral compensation does not cause the transient response to deteriorate when these are absent. Moreover, even if there is a modeling error or a step-type disturbance, the plant output converges to the step-type reference input, because the integral compensation is revealed. The proposed design is based on a state-space representation, and hence it can be easily extended to a multivariate system.

Real-Time Experimental Implementation of Predictive Control Schemes in a Small-Scale Pasteurization Plant
Chapter
  • Dec 2015
This chapter proposes three closed-loop control topologies based on model predictive control (MPC) for a small-scale pasteurization plant . The topologies are designed taking into account the role of the predictive controller within the loop: (i) as supervisor control for the computation of the references for regulatory controllers, (ii) as unique controller within the closed loop and (iii) acting simultaneously as supervisor and regulatory controllers together with other regulatory controllers. All control designs have been applied in real time to a test bench station, then experimental results are both presented and discussed. The main advantages and drawbacks for each topology are presented for the regulation of the temperature of the output product, while the energy consumption of the overall system is minimized.

Orthonormal functions based model predictive control of ph neutralization process
Article
  • Dec 2014
This paper presents use of Legendre and Laguerre orthonormal functions for representation of the control trajectory in discrete model predictive control, on a pH neutralization process, which is a process with static non-linearity. Performance is tested with plant-to-model mismatch present. Orthonormal functions are used for efficient parameterisation of the difference of control signal as in the case of linear process. This approach has better computational efficiency compared to the classical predictive control algorithms.

Toeplitz Matrices, Asymptotic Linear Algebra, and Functional Analysis
Book
  • Jan 2000
This text is a self-contained introduction to some problems for Toeplitz matrices that are placed in the borderland between linear algebra and functional analysis. The text looks at Toeplitz matrices with rational symbols, and focuses attention on the asymptotic behavior of the singular values, which includes the behavior of the norms, the norms of the inverses, and the condition numbers as special cases. The text illustrates that the asymptotics of several linear algebra characteristics depend in a fascinating way on functional analytic properties of infinite matrices. Many convergence results can very comfortably be obtained by working with appropriate C*-algebras, while refinements of these results, for example, estimates of the convergence speed, nevertheless require hard analysis.
