Model predictive control using fuzzy decision functions

Fuzzy predictive control integrates conventional model predictive control with techniques from fuzzy multicriteria decision making, translating the goals and the constraints to predictive control in a transparent way. The information regarding the (fuzzy) goals and the (fuzzy) constraints of the control problem is combined by using a decision function from the theory of fuzzy sets. This paper investigates the use of fuzzy decision making (FDM) in model predictive control (MPG), and compares the results to those obtained from conventional MPG. Attention is also paid to the choice of aggregation operators for fuzzy decision making in control. Experiments on a nonminimum phase, unstable linear system, and on an air-conditioning system with nonlinear dynamics are studied. It is shown that the performance of the model predictive controller can be improved by the use of fuzzy criteria in a fuzzy decision making framework.

Freeway traffic control using fuzzy logic controllers

A major cause of freeway congestion before the traffic density becomes critical is the shock wave due to the speed differences between consecutive vehicles. Such disturbance can be reduced if we can impose homogeneous speed control on the vehicles. In this paper, a two-level model-free control scheme using neural-network-based fuzzy logic controllers is proposed which regulates the speed of the freeway through speed advisory boards. Using information from both measurement data and expert knowledge (e.g., environmental information and psychological factors), it is expected that this controller will outperform the conventional ones.

Heuristic on-line tuning for nonlinear model predictive controllers using fuzzy logic

In this paper a systematic mechanism for on-line tuning of the non-linear model predictive controllers is presented. The proposed method automatically adjusts the prediction horizon P, the diagonal elements of the input weight matrix Λ, and the diagonal elements of the output weight matrix Γ for the sake of good performance. The desired good performance is cast as a time-domain specification. The control horizon (M) is left constant because of the importance of its relative value with respect to P. The concepts from fuzzy logic are used in designing the tuning algorithm. In the mechanism considered here, predefined fuzzy rules represent available tuning guidelines and the performance violation measure in the form of fuzzy sets determine the new tuning parameter values Therefore, the tuning algorithm is formulated as a simple and straightforward mechanism, which makes it more appealing for on-line implementation. The effectiveness of the proposed tuning method is tested through simulated implementation on three non-linear process examples. Two of these examples possess open-loop unstable dynamics. The result of the simulations shows that this method is successful and promising.     

A multivariable predictive fuzzy PID control system

In this paper, a novel multivariable predictive fuzzy-proportional-integral-derivative (F-PID) control system is developed by incorporating the fuzzy and PID control approaches into the predictive control framework. The developed control system has two main units referred as adaptation and application parts. The adaptation part consists of a F-PID controller and a fuzzy predictor. The incremental control actions are generated by the F-PID controller. The controller parameters are adjusted with the predictive control approach. The fuzzy predictor provides the multi-step ahead predictions of the plant outputs. Therefore, the F-PID controller parameters are adjusted by minimizing the errors between the predicted plant outputs and reference trajectories over the prediction horizon. The fuzzy predictor is trained with an on-line training procedure in order to adapt the changes in the plant dynamics and improve the prediction accuracy. The Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) optimization method with a trust region approach is used to adjust both the controller and predictor fuzzy systems parameters. In the application part, an identical F-PID controller of the adaptation part is used to control the actual plant. The adjusted parameter values are transferred to this identical controller at each time step. The performance of the proposed control system is tested for both single-input single-output (SISO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear control problems. The adaptation, robustness to noise, disturbance rejection properties together with the tracking performances are examined in the simulations.     

Effective optimization for fuzzy model predictive control

This paper addresses the optimization in fuzzy model predictive control. When the prediction model is a nonlinear fuzzy model, nonconvex, time-consuming optimization is necessary, with no guarantee of finding an optimal solution. A possible way around this problem is to linearize the fuzzy model at the current operating point and use linear predictive control (i.e., quadratic programming). For long-range predictive control, however, the influence of the linearization error may significantly deteriorate the performance. In our approach, this is remedied by linearizing the fuzzy model along the predicted input and output trajectories. One can further improve the model prediction by iteratively applying the optimized control sequence to the fuzzy model and linearizing along the so obtained simulated trajectories. Four different methods for the construction of the optimization problem are proposed, making difference between the cases when a single linear model or a set of linear models are used. By choosing an appropriate method, the user can achieve a desired tradeoff between the control performance and the computational load. The proposed techniques have been tested and evaluated using two simulated industrial benchmarks: pH control in a continuous stirred tank reactor and a high-purity distillation column.     

Robust spacecraft attitude control using adaptive fuzzy logic

In this paper, we propose to use adaptive fuzzy logic to tackle the spacecraft attitude control problem. The advantage is that no linearity in the system parameter assumption is needed. An on-line tuning scheme with no off-line training phase is used to update the weights in the fuzzy logic controller. Attitude tracking errors are guaranteed to be bounded.     

Incremental MLLR speaker adaptation by fuzzy logic control

This paper presents a fuzzy control mechanism for conventional maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR) speaker adaptation, called FLC-MLLR, by which the effect of MLLR adaptation is regulated according to the availability of adaptation data in such a way that the advantage of MLLR adaptation could be fully exploited when the training data are sufficient, or the consequence of poor MLLR adaptation would be restrained otherwise. The robustness of MLLR adaptation against data scarcity is thus ensured. The proposed mechanism is conceptually simple and computationally inexpensive and effective; the experiments in recognition rate show that FLC-MLLR outperforms standard MLLR especially when encountering data insufficiency and performs better than MAPLR at much less computing cost.     

Neural-network-based self-organized fuzzy logic control for arc welding

Fuzzy logic control (FLC) is becoming an attractive technique to control processes in welding mainly due to its ability to solve problems in the absence of an accurate mathematical model. In this paper, a novel technique, that combines both FLC and neural network (NN) techniques is presented to control the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. This technique overcomes limitations such as the dependency on the experts for fuzzy rule generation and non-adaptive fuzzy set. The adaptation of membership function as well as the self-organizing of fuzzy rule are realized by the self-learning and competitiveness of the NN. This approach facilitates the automatic determination of the fuzzy rule and in-process adaptation of membership function for an advanced welding process control. This overcomes the limitations of a fixed membership function, which cannot guarantee the required performance in a highly time-variable environment such as an arc-welding process. The proposed technique has been verified to be highly effective in an arc-welding process in which the welds bead width is regulated. Computer simulations confirm that the characteristics of the system have improved notably when compared with the currently available methods.     

Experimental investigations on fuzzy logic for process control

The present work is concerned with the design and experimental testing of fuzzy algorithms for the on-line control of a few processes: temperature of a methyl methacrylate batch polymerization reactor, evaporating and condensing temperatures of a refrigeration system and the overhead composition of a batch distillation column. PID-fuzzy algorithms were developed and compared to conventional PID controllers, proving to be more suitable and reliable for the polymerization process. For the batch distillation column, fuzzy control reduced the batch time and the energy consumption. The PID-fuzzy also outperformed the conventional PID in terms of energy savings for the refrigeration system.

Fault tolerant control using a fuzzy predictive approach

This paper proposes the application of fault-tolerant control (FTC) using fuzzy predictive control. The FTC approach is based on two steps, fault detection and isolation (FDI) and fault accommodation. The fault detection is performed by a model-based approach using fuzzy modeling and fault isolation uses a fuzzy decision making approach. The information obtained on the FDI step is used to select the model to be used in fault accommodation, in a model predictive control (MPC) scheme. The fault accommodation is performed with one fuzzy model for each identified fault. The FTC scheme is used to accommodate the faults of two systems a container gantry crane and three tank benchmark system. The fuzzy FTC scheme proposed in this paper was able to detect, isolate and accommodate correctly the considered faults of both systems.

Robust stability constraints for fuzzy model predictive control

This paper addresses the synthesis of a predictive controller for a nonlinear process based on a fuzzy model of the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) type, resulting in a stable closed-loop control system. Conditions are given that guarantee closed-loop robust asymptotic stability for open-loop bounded-input-bounded-output (BIBO) stable processes with an additive l₁-norm bounded model uncertainty. The idea is closely related to (small-gain-based) l₁-control theory, but due to the time-varying approach, the resulting robust stability constraints are less conservative. Therefore the fuzzy model is viewed as a linear time-varying system rather than a nonlinear one. The goal is to obtain constraints on the control signal and its increment that guarantee robust stability. Robust global asymptotic stability and offset-free reference tracking are guaranteed for asymptotically constant reference trajectories and disturbances
