一种复合型数值方法的改进与算法实现

文中对原有的复合方法进行了改进,提出了一种新的复合型数值方法,这种方法解决了原方法求解含源项的问题时存在数值震荡的缺点。为了验证算法的有效性,对计算流体力学中一阶浅水波问题的两个典型的算例进行了数值模拟,在解的光滑性、锐利性等几个方面做了分析,结果表明改进后的方法既消除了数值震荡现象,又能准确地逼近真解,求出锐利的间断,是一种行之有效的数值方法。     

Frequency domain solution to delay-type Nehari problem

This paper generalizes the frequency-domain results on the delay-type Nehari problem in the stable case to the unstable case. The solvability condition of the delay-type Nehari problem is formulated in terms of the nonsingularity of three matrices. The optimal value γ_opt is the maximal γ∈(0,∞) such that one of the three matrices becomes singular. All sub-optimal compensators are parameterized in a transparent structure incorporating a modified Smith predictor.

气动人工肌肉手臂的神经网络Smith预估控制

针对含时滞d的1关节气动人工肌肉(PAM)手臂,用三层递归神经网络(RNN),建立PAM手臂包含时滞的模型(即非线性Smith预估器),并超前d步预测PAM手臂的输出角度.将此超前d步的预测值作为反馈量,与设定值相比较得到的误差作为PID控制器输入量,实现Smith预估PID控制.同时每一步都用RNN模型当前时刻的输出值与PAM手臂当前时刻实际输出值之差的平方做为RNN权值的在线调整准则对RNN预测模型的权值进行在线调整,以自适应PAM手臂的不确定性和时变性.使用Matlab通过串口和研华亚当模块对实物PAM手臂进行控制,控制效果表明所提出的Smith预估PID控制算法比常规PID控制算法的性能有显著提高,证明所提出的算法是有效的和切实可行的.     

Direct data‐driven control of linear time‐delay systems

This paper presents an extension of the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) methodology dedicated to linear time‐delay systems with known delay and unknown dynamics. The standard VRFT is not well suited for systems with dominant time‐delay as it yields high order controllers. The proposed direct approach, relying on a Smith Predictor structure, guarantees the same level of performance as the standard VRFT but with lower order controllers. The joint direct data‐driven design of the controller and the predictor is facilitated by the introduction of an ad‐hoc optimization initialization. Effectiveness and robustness to uncertainty in the time‐delay estimation are shown in a vehicle dynamics control problem.

PID控制器设计与仿真研究

研究优化PID控制器性能问题,在过程控制中,系统存在纯滞后性、时变性、非线性的复杂系统,传统模糊控制和PID控制方法解决上述问题效果不佳,导致超调量大和调节时间长。为了解决控制系统中超调量大和调节时间长等难题,在Smith预估器和传统PID控制的基础上,结合模糊PID控制的优点,提出一种模糊PID-Smith的智能控制方法。方法通过对模型的纯滞后进行补偿,来减小纯滞后系统的超调量,从而增强系统的稳定性。通过对火电机组主汽温控制系统进行仿真,结果表明,方法降低了超调量,减少了调节时间,极大地改善了控制性能,提高了控制系统的自适应性和鲁棒性。     

Generalized multi-scale control scheme for cascade processes with time-delays

The cascade control is a well-known technique in process industry to improve regulatory control performance. The use of the conventional PI/PID controllers has often been found to be ineffective for cascade processes with long time-delays. Recent literature report has shown that the multi-scale control (MSC) scheme is capable of providing improved performance over the conventional PID controllers for processes characterized by long time-delays as well as slow RHP zeros. This paper presents an extension of this basic MSC scheme to cascade processes with long time-delays. This new cascade MSC scheme is applicable to self-regulating, integrating and unstable processes. Extensive numerical studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the cascade MSC scheme compared with some well-established cascade control strategies.
