Adaptive model predictive control for a class of constrained linear systems based on the comparison model

This paper proposes an adaptive model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for a class of constrained linear systems, which estimates system parameters on-line and produces the control input satisfying input/state constraints for possible parameter estimation errors. The key idea is to combine the robust MPC method based on the comparison model with an adaptive parameter estimation method suitable for MPC. To this end, first, a new parameter update method based on the moving horizon estimation is proposed, which allows to predict an estimation error bound over the prediction horizon. Second, an adaptive MPC algorithm is developed by combining the on-line parameter estimation with an MPC method based on the comparison model, suitably modified to cope with the time-varying case. This method guarantees feasibility and stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of state/input constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate its effectiveness.     

Economic Lyapunov-based model predictive control with event-triggered parametric identification

This article focuses on the design of model predictive control (MPC) for nonlinear systems with slow time-dynamic change. To avoid frequent updates of the predictive model and guarantee the state always stays inside of a given feasible region, an event-triggered parametric estimation mechanism is designed. Firstly, a trigger condition is designed to judge if parameters of the predictive model are out of date and differ a lot from their current true values so that there is no feasible solution to regulate the state within the given bound without predictive model parameter update. This condition also depends on the current state and is deduced from a designed Lyapunov constraint, inputs constraints, and the mismatched predictive model. Then the EMPC is designed based on this condition. If the trigger condition is met, the MPC recursively updates the parameters and imposes the Lyapunov constraint. The Lyapunov constraint is based on the mismatched model and the real state does not need to be convergence. Else, the MPC only optimizes the cost function to derive a good profit. We proved that the proposed EMPC promises that the closed-loop system state is maintained within a predefined stable region when the model mismatch bound can be estimated accurately. A simulation of a chemical process demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Adaptive receding horizon predictive control for constrained discrete-time linear systems with parameter uncertainties

This paper proposes a discrete-time model predictive control (MPC) scheme combined with an adaptive mechanism. To this end, first, an adaptive parameter estimation algorithm suitable for MPC is proposed, which uses the available input and output signals to estimate the unknown system parameters. It enables the prediction of a monotonically decreasing worst-case estimation error bound over the prediction horizon of MPC. These distinctive features allow for future model improvement to be explicitly considered in MPC. Thus, a less conservative adaptive-type MPC controller can be developed based on the proposed estimation method. Second, we show how the discrete-time adaptive-type state-feedback MPC controller is constructed by combining the on-line parameter estimation scheme with a modified robust MPC method based on the comparison model. The developed MPC controller guarantees feasibility and stability of the closed-loop system theoretically in the presence of input and state constraints. A numerical example is given to demonstrate its effectiveness.     

Robustness analysis of a hybrid ground coupled heat pump system with model predictive control

MPC of thermal systems usually results in robust operation with respect to uncertainties thanks to some key characteristics of the controller. However, the true limit until which these systems will actually be robust is rarely known explicitly. In this study a Hybrid Ground Coupled Heat Pump (HyGCHP) system with MPC is investigated, for which state estimation and disturbance prediction are highly uncertain, moreover, the system performance is highly sensitive to errors at these points. It has become popular to design control systems which perform explicit computations to assure robustness (e.g. min–max Robust MPC) but this framework is computationally demanding, therefore, not widely applied. An alternative is to perform robustness analysis of an MPC controlled system which is though generally avoided due to complicated theoretical formulations, implicitness and conservativeness of the approach. To tackle these issues an existing framework for robustness analysis is extended and applied to the case of a HyGCHP system with MPC to analyze robustness with respect to state estimation uncertainty. This paper presents an approach to use the original formulation, suggested for regulation/stabilization in order to analyze robustness for the case of set point tracking. The results show that the maximum allowed state estimation uncertainty found by robustness analysis of the regulation problem is confirmed by the simulated HyGCHP system with MPC, which performs set point tracking. In conclusion, the method gives a reliable guarantee for the degree of state estimation uncertainty, up to which the HyGCHP system investigated remains robust. Future research can extend the robustness analysis method towards disturbance prediction uncertainty.     

Product property and production rate control of styrene polymerization

A multivariable multi-rate nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy is applied to styrene polymerization. The NMPC algorithm incorporates a multi-rate Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to handle state variable and parameter estimation. A fundamental model is developed for the styrene polymerization CSTR, and control of polymer properties such as number average molecular weight (NAMW) and polydispersity is considered. These properties characterize the final polymer distribution and are strong indicators of the polymer qualities of interest. Production rate control is also demonstrated. Temperature measurements are available frequently while laboratory measurements of concentration and molecular weight distribution are available infrequently with substantial time delays between sampling and analysis. Observability analysis of the augmented system provides guidelines for the design of the augmented disturbance model for use in estimation using the multi-rate EKF. The observability analysis links measurement sets and corresponding observable disturbance models, and shows that measurements of moments of the polymer distribution are essential for good estimation and control. The CSTR is operated at an open-loop unstable steady state. Control simulations are performed under conditions of plant-model structural mismatch and in the presence of parameter uncertainty and disturbances, and the proposed multi-rate NMPC algorithm is shown to provide superior performance compared to linear multi-rate and nonlinear single-rate MPC algorithms. The major contributions of this work are the development of the multi-rate estimator and the measurement design study based on the observability analysis.     

Input-to-state stable finite horizon MPC for neutrally stable linear discrete-time systems with input constraints

MPC or model predictive control is representative of control methods which are able to handle inequality constraints. Closed-loop stability can therefore be ensured only locally in the presence of constraints of this type. However, if the system is neutrally stable, and if the constraints are imposed only on the input, global asymptotic stability can be obtained; until recently, use of infinite horizons was thought to be inevitable in this case. A globally stabilizing finite-horizon MPC has lately been suggested for neutrally stable continuous-time systems using a non-quadratic terminal cost which consists of cubic as well as quadratic functions of the state. The idea originates from the so-called small gain control, where the global stability is proven using a non-quadratic Lyapunov function. The newly developed finite-horizon MPC employs the same form of Lyapunov function as the terminal cost, thereby leading to global asymptotic stability. A discrete-time version of this finite-horizon MPC is presented here. Furthermore, it is proved that the closed-loop system resulting from the proposed MPC is ISS (Input-to-State Stable), provided that the external disturbance is sufficiently small. The proposed MPC algorithm is also coded using an SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming) algorithm, and simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the method.
