文摘The application of plant measurement data for system identification and model predictive control(MPC)has garnered significant interest.However,the pervasive presence of noise and contamination in industrial data often compromises data quality,thereby degrading performance and reliability of model.To address this challenge,this study proposes a nonlinear MPC method based on robust time delay particle filtering(RPF-MPC).This method is specifically designed to mitigate the impact of stochastic time delays and noise on both model learning and control.RPF-MPC utilizes robust particle filtering with a Laplace distribution to reliably estimate parameters and unknown time delays.In this way,the controller is able to efficiently handle noise and outliers even when the data deviates from a Gaussian distribution.The proposed algorithm is presented in detail,a nonlinear numerical case and a fuel cell water cooling control case are presented to validate the effectiveness of the RPF-MPC method.Simulation results validate the effectiveness and robustness of the RPF-MPC method in handling uncertainty and improving control performance in the PEMFC process.
文摘Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)is widely used in alternating current servo systems as it provides high eficiency,high power density,and a wide speed regulation range.The servo system is placing higher demands on its control performance.The model predictive control(MPC)algorithm is emerging as a potential high-performance motor control algorithm due to its capability of handling multiple-input and multipleoutput variables and imposed constraints.For the MPC used in the PMSM control process,there is a nonlinear disturbance caused by the change of electromagnetic parameters or load disturbance that may lead to a mismatch between the nominal model and the controlled object,which causes the prediction error and thus affects the dynamic stability of the control system.This paper proposes a data-driven MPC strategy in which the historical data in an appropriate range are utilized to eliminate the impact of parameter mismatch and further improve the control performance.The stability of the proposed algorithm is proved as the simulation demonstrates the feasibility.Compared with the classical MPC strategy,the superiority of the algorithm has also been verified.

文摘Inspired by the collective behaviors observed in bird flocks and fish schools,this paper proposes a novel Decentralized Model Predictive Flocking Control(DMPFC)framework to enable UAV swarms to autonomously track predefined reference trajectories while avoiding collisions and maintaining a stable quasi[Math Processing Error]-lattice formation.Unlike traditional approaches that rely on switching between predefined swarm formations,this framework utilizes identical local interaction rules for each UAV,allowing them to dynamically adjust their control inputs based on the motion states of neighboring UAVs,external environmental factors,and the desired reference trajectory,thereby enabling the swarm to adapt its formation dynamically.Through iterative state updates,the UAVs achieve consensus,allowing the swarm to follow the reference trajectory while self-organizing into a cohesive and stable group structure.To enhance computational efficiency,the framework integrates a closed-form solution for the optimization process,enabling real-time implementation even on computationally constrained micro-quadrotors.Theoretical analysis demonstrates that the proposed method ensures swarm consensus,maintains desired inter-agent distances,and stabilizes the swarm formation.Extensive simulations and real-world experiments validate the approach’s effectiveness and practicality,demonstrating that the proposed method achieves velocity consensus within approximately 200 ms and forms a stable quasi[Math Processing Error]-lattice structure nearly ten times faster than traditional models,with trajectory tracking errors on the order of millimeters.This underscores its potential for robust and efficient UAV swarm coordination in complex scenarios.

文摘This paper proposes an event-triggered stochastic model predictive control for discrete-time linear time-invariant(LTI)systems under additive stochastic disturbances.It first constructs a probabilistic invariant set and a probabilistic reachable set based on the priori knowledge of system uncertainties.Assisted with enhanced robust tubes,the chance constraints are then formulated into a deterministic form.To alleviate the online computational burden,a novel event-triggered stochastic model predictive control is developed,where the triggering condition is designed based on the past and future optimal trajectory tracking errors in order to achieve a good trade-off between system resource utilization and control performance.Two triggering parametersσandγare used to adjust the frequency of solving the optimization problem.The probabilistic feasibility and stability of the system under the event-triggered mechanism are also examined.Finally,numerical studies on the control of a heating,ventilation,and air conditioning(HVAC)system confirm the efficacy of the proposed control.
文摘To solve the attitude trajectory tracking problem for hypersonic vehicles in the presence of system constraints and unknown disturbances,this paper designed a nonlinear robust model predictive control(RMPC)scheme,which can produce near-optimal tracking commands.Unlike the existing designs,the proposed scheme is less conservative and successfully prioritizes the solution optimality.The established RMPC follows a dualloop structure.Specifically,in the outer feedback loop,the reference attitude angle profiles are optimally tracked,while in the inner feedback loop,the control moment commands are produced by optimally tracking the desired angular rate trajectories.Besides,an adaptive disturbance observer(ADO)is designed and embedded in the inner and outer RMPC controllers to alleviate the negative effects caused by unknown external disturbances.The recursive feasibility of the optimization process,together with the input-to-state stability of the proposed RMPC,is theoretically guaranteed by introducing a tightened control constraint and terminal region.The derived property reveals that our proposal can steer the tracking error within a small region of convergence.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by performing simulation studies.

文摘To solve the coupling relationship between the strip automatic gauge control and the looper control in traditional control strategy of tandem hot rolling,a distributed model predictive control(DMPC)strategy for the tandem hot rolling was explored,and a series of simulation experiments were carried out.Firstly,based on the state space analysis method,the multivariable dynamic transition process of hot strip rolling was studied,and the state space model of a gauge-looper integrated system in tandem hot rolling was established.Secondly,DMPC strategy based on neighborhood optimization was proposed,which fully considered the coupling relationship in this integrated system.Finally,a series of experiments simulating disturbances and emergency situations were completed with actual rolling data.The experimental results showed that the proposed DMPC control strategy had better performance compared with the traditional proportional-integral control and centralized model predictive control,which is applicable for the gauge-looper integrated system.
