Finite-dimensional constrained fuzzy control for a class of nonlinear distributed process systems.

This correspondence studies the problem of finite-dimensional constrained fuzzy control for a class of systems described by nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). Initially, Galerkin's method is applied to the PDE system to derive a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) system that accurately describes the dynamics of the dominant (slow) modes of the PDE system. Subsequently, a systematic modeling procedure is given to construct exactly a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model for the finite-dimensional ODE system under state constraints. Then, based on the T-S fuzzy model, a sufficient condition for the existence of a stabilizing fuzzy controller is derived, which guarantees that the state constraints are satisfied and provides an upper bound on the quadratic performance function for the finite-dimensional slow system. The resulting fuzzy controllers can also guarantee the exponential stability of the closed-loop PDE system. Moreover, a local optimization algorithm based on the linear matrix inequalities is proposed to compute the feedback gain matrices of a suboptimal fuzzy controller in the sense of minimizing the quadratic performance bound. Finally, the proposed design method is applied to the control of the temperature profile of a catalytic rod.     

Non-fragile guaranteed cost fuzzy control for nonlinear first-order hyperbolic partial differential equation systems

This paper concerns the non-fragile guaranteed cost control for nonlinear first-order hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs), and the case of hyperbolic PDE systems with parameter uncertainties is also addressed. A Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy hyperbolic PDE model is presented to exactly represent the nonlinear hyperbolic PDE system. Then, the state-feedback non-fragile controller distributed in space is designed by the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) method, and some sufficient conditions are derived in terms of spatial differential linear matrix inequalities (SDLMIs) such that the T–S fuzzy hyperbolic PDE system is asymptotically stable and the cost function keeps an upper bound. Moreover, for the nonlinear hyperbolic PDE system with parameter uncertainties, using the above-design approach, the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost control scheme is obtained. Furthermore, the finite-difference method is employed to solve the SDLMIs. Finally, a nonlinear hyperbolic PDE system is presented to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the developed design methodology.

Finite dimensional disturbance observer based control for nonlinear parabolic PDE systems via output feedback

This paper considers the problem of finite dimensional disturbance observer based control (DOBC) via output feedback for a class of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems. The external disturbance is generated by an exosystem modeled by ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which enters into the PDE system through the control channel. Motivated by the fact that the dominant dynamic behavior of parabolic PDE systems can be characterized by a finite number of degrees of freedom, the modal decomposition technique is initially applied to the PDE system to derive a slow subsystem of finite dimensional ODEs. Subsequently, based on the slow subsystem and the exosystem, a disturbance observer (DO) and a slow mode observer (SMO) are constructed to estimate the disturbance and the slow modes. Moreover, an observation spillover observer (OSO) is also constructed to cancel approximately the effect of the observation spillover. Then, a finite dimensional DOBC design via output feedback is developed to estimate and compensate the disturbance, such that the closed-loop PDE system is exponentially stable in the presence of the disturbance. The condition for the existence of the proposed controller is given in terms of bilinear matrix inequality. Two algorithms based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique are provided for solving control and observer gain matrices of the proposed controller. Finally, the developed design method is applied to the control of a one-dimensional diffusion-reaction process to illustrate its effectiveness.

State feedback tracking control for indirect field-oriented induction motor using fuzzy approach

This paper deals with the synthesis of fuzzy controller applied to the induction motor with a guaranteed model reference tracking performance. First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to approximate the nonlinear system in the synchronous d-q frame rotating with field-oriented control strategy. Then, a fuzzy state feedback controller is designed to reduce the tracking error by minimizing the disturbance level. The proposed controller is based on a T-S reference model in which the desired trajectory has been specified. The inaccessible rotor flux is estimated by a T-S fuzzy observer. The developed approach for the controller design is based on the synthesis of an augmented fuzzy model which regroups the model of induction machine, fuzzy observer, and reference model. The gains of the observer and controller are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to show the performance of the observer-based tracking controller.     

Discrete fuzzy covariance control for specified decay rate

This paper addresses the covariance control problem with decay rate for a class of nonlinear discrete stochastic systems using the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models. A methodology is developed to find the discrete fuzzy controllers for achieving individual state variance constraints of discrete T-S fuzzy stochastic models. The approach developed in this paper is based on the concept of parallel distributed compensation (PDC) and covariance control. For each rule of the discrete T-S fuzzy model, it shows how to parameterize the static linear state feedback control gains to achieve a common covariance matrix and decay rate for each subsystem. Finally, a numerical example is provided to verify the effects of the proposed design method.     

Robust PI controller design for nonlinear systems via fuzzymodeling approach

The design problem of proportional and proportional-plus-integral (PI) controllers for nonlinear systems is studied. First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model with parameter uncertainties is used to approximate the nonlinear systems. Then a numerically tractable algorithm based on the technique of iterative linear matrix inequalities is developed to design a proportional (static output feedback) controller for the robust stabilization of the system in T-S fuzzy model. Next, we transform the problem of PI controller design to that of proportional controller design for an augmented system and thus bring the solution of the former problem into the configuration of the developed algorithm. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the design of robust stabilizing controllers for the excitation control of power systems. Simulation results show that the transient stability can be improved by using a fuzzy PI controller when large faults appear in the system, compared to the conventional PI controller designed by using linearization method around the steady state     

A galerkin/neural-network-based design of guaranteed cost control for nonlinear distributed parameter systems.

This paper presents a Galerkin/neural-network- based guaranteed cost control (GCC) design for a class of parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems with unknown nonlinearities. A parabolic PDE system typically involves a spatial differential operator with eigenspectrum that can be partitioned into a finite-dimensional slow one and an infinite-dimensional stable fast complement. Motivated by this, in the proposed control scheme, Galerkin method is initially applied to the PDE system to derive an ordinary differential equation (ODE) system with unknown nonlinearities, which accurately describes the dynamics of the dominant (slow) modes of the PDE system. The resulting nonlinear ODE system is subsequently parameterized by a multilayer neural network (MNN) with one-hidden layer and zero bias terms. Then, based on the neural model and a Lure-type Lyapunov function, a linear modal feedback controller is developed to stabilize the closed-loop PDE system and provide an upper bound for the quadratic cost function associated with the finite-dimensional slow system for all admissible approximation errors of the network. The outcome of the GCC problem is formulated as a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. Moreover, by using the existing LMI optimization technique, a suboptimal guaranteed cost controller in the sense of minimizing the cost bound is obtained. Finally, the proposed design method is applied to the control of the temperature profile of a catalytic rod.

Fuzzy State-Space Modeling and Robust Observer-Based Control Design for Nonlinear Partial Differential Systems

In this paper, a robust fuzzy control design is proposed for the stabilization of nonlinear partial differential systems (NPDSs). Based on Galerkin's method, a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy PDS is first proposed to model an NPDS. Then, the T-S fuzzy PDS can be represented by a finite-dimensional T-S fuzzy subsystem in controlled mode and a coupled infinite-dimensional T-S fuzzy subsystem in residual mode. Therefore, the NPDS can be partitioned into a finite-dimensional T-S fuzzy slow state-space subsystem to be controlled and a coupled infinite-dimensional fast residual subsystem to be tolerated. Based on the small-gain theorem, a robust fuzzy observer-based controller is developed to tolerate the coupled residual subsystem to asymptotically stabilize the NPDS. Furthermore, based on the dissipative theory, an Hinfin control design is proposed to attenuate the effects of external disturbances and measurement noises on the robust stabilization of NPDSs. The MATLAB linear matrix inequality toolbox can be employed to efficiently solve the optimal Hinfin fuzzy observer-based control design problem of NPDSs. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedure and confirm the performance of the proposed robust fuzzy observer-based control method for the perturbative NPDSs.     

A new LMI-based approach to relaxed quadratic stabilization of T-S fuzzy control systems

This paper proposes a new quadratic stabilization condition for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy control systems. The condition is represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and is shown to be less conservative than some relaxed quadratic stabilization conditions published recently in the literature. A rigorous theoretic proof is given to show that the proposed condition can include previous results as special cases. In comparison with conventional conditions, the proposed condition is not only suitable for designing fuzzy state feedback controllers but also convenient for fuzzy static output feedback controller design. The latter design work is quite hard for T-S fuzzy control systems. Based on the LMI-based conditions derived, one can easily synthesize controllers for stabilizing T-S fuzzy control systems. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the controller design is quite simple and numerically tractable. Finally, the validity and applicability of the proposed approach are successfully demonstrated in the control of a continuous-time nonlinear system.     

Fuzzy Control for Nonlinear Uncertain Electrohydraulic Active Suspensions With Input Constraint

This paper presents a Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model-based fuzzy control design approach for electrohydraulic active vehicle suspensions considering nonlinear dynamics of the actuator, sprung mass variation, and constraints on the control input. The T-S fuzzy model is first applied to represent the nonlinear uncertain electrohydraulic suspension. Then, a fuzzy state feedback controller is designed for the obtained T-S fuzzy model with optimized H _infin performance for ride comfort by using the parallel-distributed compensation (PDC) scheme. The sufficient conditions for the existence of such a controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical simulations on a full-car suspension model are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The obtained results show that the designed controller can achieve good suspension performance despite the existence of nonlinear actuator dynamics, sprung mass variation, and control input constraints.

Low dimensional disturbance observer‐based control for nonlinear parabolic PDE systems with spatio‐temporal disturbances

In this paper, a design problem of low dimensional disturbance observer‐based control (DOBC) is considered for a class of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems with the spatio‐temporal disturbance modeled by an infinite dimensional exosystem of parabolic PDE. Motivated by the fact that the dominant structure of the parabolic PDE is usually characterized by a finite number of degrees of freedom, the modal decomposition method is initially applied to both the PDE system and the PDE exosystem to derive a low dimensional slow system and a low dimensional slow exosystem, which accurately capture the dominant dynamics of the PDE system and the PDE exosystem, respectively. Then, the definition of input‐to‐state stability for the PDE system with the spatio‐temporal disturbance is given to formulate the design objective. Subsequently, based on the derived slow system and slow exosystem, a low dimensional disturbance observer (DO) is constructed to estimate the state of the slow exosystem, and then a low dimensional DOBC is given to compensate the effect of the slow exosystem in order to reject approximately the spatio‐temporal disturbance. Then, a design method of low dimensional DOBC is developed in terms of linear matrix inequality to guarantee that not only the closed‐loop slow system is exponentially stable in the presence of the slow exosystem but also the closed‐loop PDE system is input‐to‐state stable in the presence of the spatio‐temporal disturbance. Finally, simulation results on the control of temperature profile for catalytic rod demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Model reference output feedback fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay

In this study, a model reference fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay is introduced. First, the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is employed to approximate a nonlinear discrete-time system with time-delay. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy observer-based fuzzy controller is developed to reduce the tracking error as small as possible for all bounded reference inputs. The advantage of proposed tracking control design is that only a simple fuzzy observer-based controller is used in our approach without feedback linearization technique and complicated adaptive scheme. By the proposed method, the fuzzy tracking control design problem is parameterized in terms of a linear matrix inequality problem (LMIP). The LMIP can be efficiently solved using the convex optimization techniques. Simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and tracking performance of the proposed method.
