Fault-tolerant control for uncertain linear systems via adaptive and LMI approaches

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control scheme for linear systems with mismatched uncertainties which are assumed to be norm-bounded, affine and polytopic, respectively. The linear fractional transformation (LFT) and linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques are introduced to handle the mismatched uncertainties, and the adaptive techniques are used to compensate actuator faults. By using the cone complementary linearisation algorithm, the resulting stability criteria are converted into solvable ones. Then, on the basis of Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that the solutions to the closed-loop system and error system are uniformly bounded, especially, the states converge asymptotically to zero. Finally, simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed theoretical results.     

A new robust model predictive control method I: theory and computation

The success of the single-model MPC (SMPC) controller depends on the accuracy of the process model. Modeling errors cause sub-optimal control performance and may cause the control system to become closed-loop unstable. The goal of this paper is to examine the control performance of the robust MPC (RMPC) method proposed by Wang and Rawlings [34] on several illustrative examples. In this paper, we show the RMPC method successfully controls systems with time-varying uncertainties in the process gain, time constant and time delay and achieves offset-free non-zero set point tracking and non-zero disturbance rejection subject to input and output constraints.     

Tube-based robust economic model predictive control

In this paper, we develop a tube-based economic MPC framework for nonlinear systems subject to unknown but bounded disturbances. Instead of simply transferring the design procedure of tube-based stabilizing MPC to an economic MPC framework, we rather propose to consider the influence of the disturbance explicitly within the design of the MPC controller, which can lead to an improved closed-loop average performance. This will be done by using a specifically defined integral stage cost, which is the key feature of our proposed robust economic MPC algorithm. Furthermore, we show that the algorithm enjoys similar properties as a nominal economic MPC algorithm (i.e., without disturbances), in particular with respect to bounds on the asymptotic average performance of the resulting closed-loop system, as well as stability and optimal steady-state operation.     

On linear programming and robust model-predictive control using impulse-responses

Campo and Morari have derived a linear programming problem, with a potentially large number of constraints, which is equivalent to a min-max formulation for robust model-predictive control of linear systems. That formulation involves minimization, with respect to the controls, of the maximum, with respect to the system's impulse response (from a set of possible impulse responses), of the infinity norm of the error between the predicted and required system output sequences. Here an alternative linear programming problem is derived which has a smaller number of constraints and is therefore potentially more convenient for on-line control.     

On real-time robust model predictive control

High-speed applications impose a hard real-time constraint on the solution of a model predictive control (MPC) problem, which generally prevents the computation of the optimal control input. As a result, in most MPC implementations guarantees on feasibility and stability are sacrificed in order to achieve a real-time setting. In this paper we develop a real-time MPC approach for linear systems that provides these guarantees for arbitrary time constraints, allowing one to trade off computation time vs. performance. Stability is guaranteed by means of a constraint, enforcing that the resulting suboptimal MPC cost is a Lyapunov function. The key is then to guarantee feasibility in real-time, which is achieved by the proposed algorithm through a warm-starting technique in combination with robust MPC design. We address both regulation and tracking of piecewise constant references. As a main contribution of this paper, a new warm-start procedure together with a Lyapunov function for real-time tracking is presented. In addition to providing strong theoretical guarantees, the proposed method can be implemented at high sampling rates. Simulation examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the real-time scheme and show that computation times in the millisecond range can be achieved.     

Efficient algorithms for online tracking of set points in robust model predictive control

This paper presents some computationally efficient algorithms for online tracking of set points in robust model predictive control context subject to state and input constraints. The nonlinear systems are represented by a linear model along with an additive nonlinear term which is locally Lipschitz. As an unstructured uncertainty, this term is replaced in the robust stability constraint by its Lipschitz coefficient. A scheduled control technique is employed to transfer the system to desired set points, given online, by designing local robust model predictive controllers. This scheme includes estimating the regions of feasibility and stability of the related equilibriums and online switching among the local controllers. The proposed optimisation problems for calculating the regions of feasibility and stability are defined as linear matrix inequalities that can be solved in polynomial time. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is illustrated by an example.     

A robust distributed model predictive control algorithm

Although distributed model predictive control (DMPC) has received significant attention in the literature, the robustness of DMPC with respect to model errors has not been explicitly addressed. In this paper, a novel online algorithm that deals explicitly with model errors for DMPC is proposed. The algorithm requires decomposing the entire system into N subsystems and solving N convex optimization problems to minimize an upper bound on a robust performance objective by using a time-varying state-feedback controller for each subsystem. Simulations examples were considered to illustrate the application of the proposed method.
