Predictive functional control based on fuzzy T-S model for HVAC systems temperature control

In heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, there exist severe nonlinearity, time-varying nature, disturbances and uncertainties. A new predictive functional control based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model was proposed to control HVAC systems. The T-S fuzzy model of stabilized controlled process was obtained using the least squares method, then on the basis of global linear predictive model from T-S fuzzy model, the process was controlled by the predictive functional controller. Especially the feedback regulation part was developed to compensate uncertainties of fuzzy predictive model. Finally simulation test results in HVAC systems control applications showed that the proposed fuzzy model predictive functional control improves tracking effect and robustness. Compared with the conventional PID controller, this control strategy has the advantages of less overshoot and shorter setting time, etc.     

Robust fuzzy control of nonlinear systems with parametricuncertainties

Addresses the robust fuzzy control problem for nonlinear systems in the presence of parametric uncertainties. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is adopted for fuzzy modeling of the nonlinear system. Two cases of the T-S fuzzy system with parametric uncertainties, both continuous-time and discrete-time cases are considered. In both continuous-time and discrete-time cases, sufficient conditions are derived for robust stabilization in the sense of Lyapunov asymptotic stability, for the T-S fuzzy system with parametric uncertainties. The sufficient conditions are formulated in the format of linear matrix inequalities. The T-S fuzzy model of the chaotic Lorenz system, which has complex nonlinearity, is developed as a test bed. The effectiveness of the proposed controller design methodology is finally demonstrated through numerical simulations on the chaotic Lorenz system     

Stability analysis of interval type-2 fuzzy-model-based control systems.

This paper presents the stability analysis of interval type-2 fuzzy-model-based (FMB) control systems. To investigate the system stability, an interval type-2 Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, which can be regarded as a collection of a number of type-1 T-S fuzzy models, is proposed to represent the nonlinear plant subject to parameter uncertainties. With the lower and upper membership functions, the parameter uncertainties can be effectively captured. Based on the interval type-2 T-S fuzzy model, an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is proposed to close the feedback loop. To facilitate the stability analysis, the information of the footprint of uncertainty is used to develop some membership function conditions, which allow the introduction of slack matrices to handle the parameter uncertainties in the stability analysis. Stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are derived using a Lyapunov-based approach. Simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed interval type-2 FMB control approach.

Multiple fuzzy model-based temperature predictive control for HVAC systems

In this paper, a multiple model predictive control (MMPC) strategy based on Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy models for temperature control of air-handling unit (AHU) in heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is presented. The overall control system is constructed by a hierarchical two-level structure. The higher level is a fuzzy partition based on AHU operating range to schedule the fuzzy weights of local models in lower level, while the lower level is composed of a set of T–S models based on the relation of manipulated inputs and system outputs correspond to the higher level. Following this divide-and-conquer strategy, the complex nonlinear AHU system is divided into a set of T–S models through a fuzzy satisfactory clustering (FSC) methodology and the global system is a fuzzy integrated linear varying parameter (LPV) model. A hierarchical MMPC strategy is developed using parallel distribution compensation (PDC) method, in which different predictive controllers are designed for different T–S fuzzy rules and the global controller output is integrated by the local controller outputs through their fuzzy weights. Simulation and real process testing results show that the proposed MMPC approach is effective in HVAC system control applications.     

Study of delay-independent decentralized guaranteed cost control for large scale systems

This study introduces delay independent decentralized guaranteed cost control design method based on two controller structures for nonlinear uncertain interconnected large scale systems with time delays. First, a set of equivalent Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models are extended to represent the systems. Then a decentralized state-feedback guaranteed cost performance controller is proposed for the fuzzy systems. Based on delay independent Lyapunov functional approach, some sufficient conditions for the existence of the controller can be cast into the feasible problem of LMIs irrespective of the sizes of the time delays so that the system can be asymptotically stabilized for all considered uncertainties whose sizes are not larger than their bounds. Finally, the minimizing approach is proposed to search the suboptimal upper bound value of guaranteed cost function. Moreover, the corresponding conditions are extended into the generalized dynamic output-feedback close-loop system. Finally, the better control performances of the proposed methods are shown by the simulation examples.

Sliding mode learning control for T-S fuzzy system and an application to hypersonic flight vehicle

Sliding mode-based learning control is presented for T-S fuzzy system. A T-S fuzzy model with both uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics is proposed firstly, in which the information of uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics are assumed to be unknown. Then, according to a given reference model, state-tracking error system is built. Respecting facts, the input matrices of the built T-S fuzzy model are different from each other. An extended state observer is built for estimating the unknown uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics, and a corresponding sliding surface is proposed. A learning controller is then presented for the closed loop system. Moreover, a numerical simulation result on hypersonic flight vehicles is considered to testify the controller's availability.

On the basis of the linear matrix inequality (LMI) control strategy and parametric optimization, the composite fuzzy control algorithms are derived. Unlike earlier studies of fuzzy control systems on an LMI framework, this investigation develops a supervisory control approach, such that a fuzzy controller can be synthesized more efficiently. Moreover, a robust control scheme is applied to the T-S fuzzy model with parametric uncertainties. The sufficient conditions are deduced in the form of reduced LMIs and adaptive tuning rules. Finally, numeric simulations are given to validate the proposed approach.

Fuzzy model based predictive functional controller (FPFC) is applied to the magnetic suspension system—a pilot plant for magnetic bearing. High quality control requirements are short settle time with a-periodical step response and zero steady-state error. Open loop unstable process was stabilised with linear lead compensator. The FPFC was used as a cascade controller. Due to some model uncertainties, the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model of stabilised system was obtained using fuzzy identification. Comparing to PID, it improved quality and robustness performance. With its computational efficiency, it proved to be ideal solution for high sampling frequency systems.     

Delay-dependent guaranteed cost control for T-S fuzzy systems with time delays

This study introduces a guaranteed cost control method for nonlinear systems with time-delays which can be represented by Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy models with time-delays. The state feedback and generalized dynamic output feedback approaches are considered. The generalized dynamic output feedback controller is presented by a new fuzzy controller architecture which is of dual indexed rule base. It considers both the dynamic part and the output part of T-S fuzzy model which guarantees that the controller without any delay information can stabilize time-delay T-S fuzzy systems. Based on delay-dependent Lyapunov functional approach, some sufficient conditions for the existence of state feedback controller are provided via parallel distributed compensation (PDC) first. Second, the corresponding conditions are extended into the generalized dynamic output feedback closed-loop system via so-called generalized PDC technique. The upper bound of time-delay can be obtained using convex optimization such that the system can be stabilized for all time-delays whose sizes are not larger than the bound. The minimizing method is also proposed to search the suboptimal upper bound of guaranteed cost function. The effectiveness of the proposed method can be shown by the simulation examples.

Robust H-infinity fuzzy control for uncertainMarkovian jump nonlinear singular systems withwiener process

This paper deals with the problems of robust stochastic stabilization and H-infinity control for Markovian jump nonlinear singular systems with Wiener process via a fuzzy-control approach. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear singular system. The purpose of the robust stochastic stabilization problem is to design a state feedback fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop fuzzy system is robustly stochastically stable for all admissible uncertainties. In the robust H-infinity control problem, in addition to the stochastic stability requirement, a prescribed performance is required to be achieved. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) sufficient conditions are developed to solve these problems, respectively. The expressions of desired state feedback fuzzy controllers are given. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Mode-independent robust stabilization for uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems via fuzzy control.

This paper is concerned with the robust-stabilization problem of uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems (MJNSs) without mode observations via a fuzzy-control approach. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear system with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and Markovian jump parameters. The aim is to design a mode-independent fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop Markovian jump fuzzy system (MJFS) is robustly stochastically stable. Based on a stochastic Lyapunov function, a robust-stabilization condition using a mode-independent fuzzy controller is derived for the uncertain MJFS in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A new improved LMI formulation is used to alleviate the interrelation between the stochastic Lyapunov matrix and the system matrices containing controller variables in the derivation process. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Chaos particle swarm optimization and T-S fuzzy modeling approaches to constrained predictive control

Predictive control of systems is very much related to the efficiency and cost of systems, as well as to the quality of systems outcomes. However, it is difficult to achieve optimal predictive control because most predictive controls for systems have characteristics of randomness, strong and complex constraints, large delay time, fuzziness, and nonlinearity. Conventional methods of solving constrained nonlinear optimization problems for predictive control are mainly based on quadratic programming, which is quite sensitive to initial values, easy to trap in local minimal points, and requires large computational effort. In recent years, T-S fuzzy modeling has been found to be an effective approach in performing predictive control. Intelligent optimization algorithms, such as chaos optimization algorithm (COA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), have been shown to have faster convergence and higher iterative accuracy than those based on conventional optimization methods. In this paper, chaos particle swarm optimization (CPSO), which involves combining the strengths of COA and PSO, and T-S fuzzy modeling are proposed as approaches to perform constrained predictive control. Predictive control of temperature of continued hyperthermic celiac perfusion for medical treatment based on the proposed approaches was carried out. Simulation tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of temperature control based on T-S fuzzy modeling and CPSO. Test results indicate that the T-S fuzzy model based on CPSO outperforms models based on generalized predictive control, COA, and PSO.     

Chattering-free fuzzy variable structure control for multivariable nonlinear systems

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) based variable structure control (VSC) with guaranteed stability for multivariable systems is presented. It is aimed at obtaining an improved performance of nonlinear multivariable systems. The main contribution of this work is firstly developing a generic matrix formulation of the FLC-VSC algorithm for nonlinear multivariable systems, with a special attention to non-zero final state. Secondly, ensuring the global stability of the controlled system. The multivariable nonlinear system is represented by T-S fuzzy model. The identification of the T-S model parameters has been improved using the well known weighting parameters approach to optimize local and global approximation and modeling capability of T-S fuzzy model. The main problem encountered is that T-S identification method cannot be applied when the membership functions (MFs) are overlapped by pairs. This in turn restricts the application of the T-S method because this type of membership function has been widely used in control applications. In order to overcome the chattering problem a switching function is added as an additional fuzzy variable and will be introduced in the premise part of the fuzzy rules together with the state variables. A two-link robot system and a mixing thermal system are chosen to evaluate the robustness, effectiveness, accuracy and remarkable performance of proposed FLC-VSC method.
