The structure of the bilinear system is converted into a simple linear model by using nonlinear support vector machine (SVM) dynamic approximation with analytical control law derived. The method does not need on-line parameters estimation because the system’s internal model has been transformed into an off-line global model. Compared with other traditional methods, this control law reduces on-line parameter estimating burden. In addition, its overall linear behavior treating method allows an analytical control law available and avoids on-line nonlinear optimization. Simulation results are presented in the article to illustrate the efficiency of the method.展开更多

To avoid this, an efficient and fast algorithm based on aggregation optimization is proposed in this paper. It only optimizes the current control action at time instant k , while other future control sequences in the optimization horizon are approximated off line by the linear feedback control sequence, so the on line optimization can be converted into a low dimensional quadratic programming problem. Input constraints can be well handled in this scheme. The comparable performance is achieved with existing standard model predictive control algorithm. Simulation results well demonstrate its effectiveness.展开更多

Compared with other traditional methods, this control law reduces on-line parameter estimating burden. In addition, its overall linear behavior treating method allows an analytical control law available and avoids on-line nonlinear optimization. Simulation results are presented in the article to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
文摘The on line computational burden related to model predictive control (MPC) of large scale constrained systems hampers its real time applications and limits it to slow dynamic process with moderate number of inputs. To avoid this, an efficient and fast algorithm based on aggregation optimization is proposed in this paper. It only optimizes the current control action at time instant k , while other future control sequences in the optimization horizon are approximated off line by the linear feedback control sequence, so the on line optimization can be converted into a low dimensional quadratic programming problem. Input constraints can be well handled in this scheme. The comparable performance is achieved with existing standard model predictive control algorithm. Simulation results well demonstrate its effectiveness.
