Control of nonlinear systems represented by Galerkin models using adaptation-based linear parameter-varying models

This paper studies the control of nonlinear Galerkin systems, which are an important class of nonlinear systems that arise in reduced-order modeling of infinite-dimensional systems. A novel approach is proposed in which a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model representing the Galerkin model is built, where the parameter variation is dictated by a specially designed adaptation scheme. The controller design is then carried out on the simpler LPV model, instead of dealing directly with the complicated nonlinear Galerkin system. An automatically scheduled H-infinity controller is designed using the LPV model, and it is proven that this controller will indeed achieve the desired stabilization when applied to the nonlinear Galerkin model. The approach is illustrated with an example on cavity flow control, where the design is seen to produce satisfactory results in suppressing unwanted oscillations.     

Model and robust gain‐scheduled PID control of a bio‐inspired morphing UAV based on LPV method

In this paper, a linear parameter‐varying (LPV)‐based model and robust gain‐scheduled structural proportion integral and derivative (PID) control design solution are proposed and applied on a bio‐inspired morphing wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the morphing process. In the LPV model method, the authors propose an improved modeling method for LPV systems. The method combines partial linearization and function substitution. Using the proposed method, we can choose the varying parameters simply, thus creating a model that is more flexible and applicable. Then, a robust gain‐scheduled structural PID control design method is given by introducing a structural matrix to design a structural PID controller, which is more consistent with the structure of the PID controller used in practice and has a simpler structure than representative ones in the existing literature. The simulation results show that the developed LPV morphing UAV model is able to catch the response of the original nonlinear model with a smaller error than the existing Jacobian linearization method and the designed controller can maintain stable flights in practice with satisfactory robustness and performance.

LPV decoupling for control of multivariable systems

This article investigates methods for decoupling multivariable linear parameter varying (LPV) systems and proposes a new interaction measure for decoupled proportional-integral (PI) feedback control design in LPV systems. The proposed approach seeks to benefit the multivariable control of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with variable operating conditions, variable parameters or nonlinear behaviour. This method can improve the tracking performance and reduce the operating conditions variability of such systems with significant coupling in the system dynamics. We design MIMO decoupling feedback LPV controllers to address loop interaction effects. The proposed method uses a parameter-dependent static inversion or SVD decomposition of the system to minimise the effects of the off-diagonal terms in the MIMO system transfer function matrix. A new parameter-dependent interaction measure is introduced based on the SVD decomposition and static inversion which is subsequently utilised for tuning multi-loop PI controller gains. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the proposed LPV decoupling methods, as well as the use of the proposed interaction measures for a decoupled multi-loop PI control design.     

A RBF-ARX model-based robust MPC for tracking control without steady state knowledge

A RBF-ARX modeling and robust model predictive control (MPC) approach to achieving output-tracking control of the nonlinear system with unknown steady-state knowledge is proposed. On the basis of the RBF-ARX model with considering the system time delay, a local linearization state-space model is obtained to represent the current behavior of the nonlinear system, and a polytopic uncertain linear parameter varying (LPV) state-space model is built to represent the future system’s nonlinear behavior. Based on the two models, a quasi-min–max MPC algorithm with constraint is designed for output-tracking control of the nonlinear system with unknown steady state knowledge. The optimization problem of the quasi-min–max MPC algorithm is finally converted to the convex linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) optimization problem. Closed-loop stability of the MPC strategy is guaranteed by the use of parameter-dependent Lyapunov function and feasibility of the LMIs. Two examples, i.e. the modeling and control of a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a two tank system demonstrate the effectiveness of the RBF-ARX modeling and robust MPC approach.     

A Survey of Output Feedback Robust MPC for Linear Parameter Varying Systems

For constrained linear parameter varying (LPV) systems, this survey comprehensively reviews the literatures on output feedback robust model predictive control (OFRMPC) over the past two decades from the aspects on motivations, main contributions, and the related techniques. According to the types of state observer systems and scheduling parameters of LPV systems, different kinds of OFRMPC approaches are summarized and compared. The extensions of OFRMPC for LPV systems to other related uncertain systems are also investigated. The methods of dealing with system uncertainties and constraints in different kinds of OFRMPC optimizations are given. Key issues on OFRMPC optimizations for LPV systems are discussed. Furthermore, the future research directions on OFRMPC for LPV systems are suggested.      

Robust multi-parametric model predictive control for LPV systems with application to anaesthesia

We present a multi-parametric model predictive controller (mpMPC) for discrete-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems based on the solution of the mpMPC problem for discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. The control method yields a controller that adapts to parameter changes of the LPV system. This is accomplished by an add-on unit to the implementation of the mpMPC for LTI systems. No modification of the optimal mpMPC solution for LTI systems is needed. The mpMPC for LPV systems is entirely based on simple computational steps performed on-line. This control design method could improve the performance and robustness of a mpMPC for LPV systems with slowly varying parameters. We apply this method to process systems which suffer from slow variation of system parameters due, for example, to aging or degradation. As an illustrative example the reference tracking control problem of the hypnotic depth during intravenous anaesthesia is presented: the time varying system matrix mimics an external disturbance on the hypnotic depth. In this example the presented mpMPC for LPV systems shows a reduction of approximately 60% of the reference tracking error compared to the mpMPC for LTI systems.     

Output feedback model predictive control for LPV systems based on quasi-min–max algorithm

This paper proposes a robust output feedback model predictive control (MPC) scheme for linear parameter varying (LPV) systems based on a quasi-min–max algorithm. This approach involves an off-line design of a robust state observer for LPV systems using linear matrix inequality (LMI) and an on-line robust output feedback MPC algorithm using the estimated state. The proposed MPC method for LPV systems is applicable for a variety of systems with constraints and guarantees the robust stability of the output feedback systems. A numerical example for an LPV system subject to input constraints is given to demonstrate its effectiveness.     

Low-complexity linear parameter-varying modeling and control of a robotic manipulator

In this paper, a practical procedure for linear parameter-varying (LPV) modeling and identification of a robotic manipulator is presented, which leads to a successful experimental implementation of an LPV gain-scheduled controller. A nonlinear dynamic model of a two-degrees-of-freedom manipulator containing all important terms is obtained and unknown parameters which are required to construct an LPV model are identified. An important tool for obtaining a model of complexity low enough to be suitable for controller synthesis is the principle-component-analysis-based technique of parameter set mapping. Since the resulting quasi-LPV model has a large number of affine scheduling parameters and a large overbounding, parameter set mapping is used to reduce conservatism and complexity in controller design by finding tighter parameter regions with fewer scheduling parameters. A sufficient a posteriori condition is derived to assess the stability of the resulting closed-loop system. To evaluate the applicability and efficiency of the approximated model, a polytopic LPV gain-scheduled controller is synthesized and implemented experimentally on an industrial robot for a trajectory tracking task. The experimental results illustrate that the designed LPV controller outperforms an independent joint PD controller in terms of tracking performance and achieves a slightly better accuracy than a model-based inverse dynamics controller, while having a simpler structure. Moreover, it is shown that the LPV controller is more robust against dynamic parameter uncertainty.     

Min-max model predictive control for constrained nonlinear systems via multiple LPV embeddings

A min-max model predictive control strategy is proposed for a class of constrained nonlinear system whose trajectories can be embedded within those of a bank of linear parameter varying (LPV) models. The embedding LPV models can yield much better approximation of the nonlinear system dynamics than a single LTV model. For each LPV model, a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function is introduced to obtain poly-quadratically stable control law and to guarantee the feasibility and stability of the original nonlinear system. This approach can greatly reduce computational burden in traditional nonlinear predictive control strategy. Finally a simulation example illustrating the strategy is presented.
