基于线性时变扰动模型的间歇过程最优迭代学习控制

A batch-to-batch optimal iterative learning control (ILC) strategy for the tracking control of product quality in batch processes is presented. The linear time-varying perturbation (LTVP) model is built for product quality around the nominal trajectories. To address problems of model-plant mismatches, model prediction errors in the previous batch run are added to the model predictions for the current batch run. Then tracking error transition models can be built, and the ILC law with direct error feedback is explicitly obtained. A rigorous theorem is proposed, to prove the convergence of tracking error under ILC. The proposed methodology is illustrated on a typical batch reactor and the results show that the performance of trajectory tracking is gradually improved by the ILC.     

Development of batch proportional-integral-derivative controller

Previous batch control methods, such as iterative learning control (ILC) or run-to-run (R2R) control, can significantly improve the control performance of the batch process. However, to guarantee the expected good control performance, a fairly accurate process model is required for these controllers. Also, the implementation is numerically complicated so that it is difficult to be applied to real manufacturing processes. To overcome these problems, a new batch proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method is proposed, which borrows the concept of the conventional PID control method. Simulation studies confirm that the proposed method shows acceptable performance in tracking a setpoint trajectory, rejecting disturbances, and robustness to noises and variation of process dynamics. The application to the commercial batch process of a single crystal grower verifies that the proposed method can significantly contribute to improving the control performances of real batch processes.     

Optimization of nonlinear process based on sequential extreme learning machine

In this paper, a new approach to the optimal control with constraints is proposed to achieve a desired end product quality for nonlinear processes based on new kernel extreme learning machine (KELM). The contributions of the paper are as follows: (1) In existing ILC algorithm, the model was built only between manipulated input variables U and output variables Y without considering the state variables. However, the states variables X_state are important in the industrial processes, which are usually constrained. In this paper, the variables are divided into state variables X_state, manipulated input variables U and output Y in the process of modeling. Then ΔU can be obtained by batch-to-batch iterative learning control separately. Kernel algorithm is added to ELM. (2) Constraints of state variables X_state and the input variables U are considered in the current version. PSO is used to solve the optimization problem. (3) Kernel trick is introduced to improve accuracy of ELM modeling. New KELM algorithm is proposed in the current version. The input trajectory for the next batch is accommodated by searching for the optimal value through the error feedback at a minimum cost. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to search for the optimal value based on the iterative learning control (ILC). The proposed approach has been shown to be effective and feasible by applying bulk polymerization of the styrene batch process and fused magnesium furnace.     

An Anticipatory Terminal Iterative Learning Control Approach with Applications to Constrained Batch Processes

This work presents an anticipatory terminal iterative learning control scheme for a class of batch processes, where only the final system output is measurable and the control input is constant in each operations. The proposed approach works well with input constraints provided that the desired control input with respect to the desired trajectory is within the saturation bound. The tracking error convergence is established with rigorous mathematical analysis. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Deterministic vs. stochastic performance assessment of iterative learning control for batch processes

The performance assessment of linear time‐invariant batch processes when iterative learning control (ILC) is implemented has been discussed. Previous literatures show that conventional performance assessment cannot be directly applied to batch processes due to the nature of batch operations. Chen and Kong have suggested a new method to assess the control performance of batch processes using optimal ILC as the benchmark. In their work, ILC controllers are assumed to affect either stochastic or deterministic performance but without considering their interaction. This work elaborates the controllers effects on both stochastic and deterministic control performance of batch processes. It is shown that the optimal solution based on the minimum variance control law has a trade‐off between deterministic and stochastic performance, which can be shown by a trade‐off curve. Furthermore, a method is proposed to estimate this curve from routine operating data, against which the performance of ILC controllers can be assessed. Simulation studies are conducted to verify the proposed method. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 59: 457–464, 2013

Iterative learning control for the systematic design of supersaturation controlled batch cooling crystallisation processes

The paper presents an approach to improve the product quality from batch-to-batch by exploiting the repetitive nature of batch processes to update the operating trajectories using process knowledge obtained from previous runs. The data based methodology is focused on using the linear time varying (LTV) perturbation model in an iterative learning control (ILC) framework to provide a convergent batch-to-batch improvement of the process performance indicator. The major contribution of this work is the development of a novel hierarchical ILC (HILC) scheme for systematic design of the supersaturation controller (SSC) of seeded batch cooling crystallizers. The HILC is used to determine the required supersaturation setpoint for the SSC and the corresponding temperature trajectory required to produce crystals with desired end-point property. The performance and robustness of these approaches are evaluated through simulation case studies. These results demonstrate the potential of the ILC approaches for controlling batch processes without rigorous process models.
