Abstract: | This article mainly focuses on disturbance rejection of dead-time processes by integrating a modified disturbance observer (MDOB) with a model predictive controller (MPC). The effect caused by model mismatches is regarded as a part of the lumped disturbances. This means that the disturbances considered here include not only external disturbances, but also internal disturbances caused by model mismatches. Control structure of the proposed method includes two parts which can be designed separately. The MPC which acts as a prefilter, is employed to generate appropriate control actions such that a desired setpoint tracking response is achieved. The MDOB is employed to estimate the disturbances of the closed-loop system, and the estimation is used for feedforward compensation design to reject disturbances. Rigorous analysis of setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection properties of the closed-loop system are given in the presence of both model mismatches and external disturbances. The proposed scheme is applied to control the temperature of a simplified jacketed stirred tank heater (JSTH). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method possesses a better disturbance rejection performance than those of the MDOB-PI, MPC and PI methods in controlling such dead-time processes. |
