Predictive control system design with adaptive output estimator for non-uniformly sampled multi-rate systems and its application to liquid level control

Abstract

This paper deals with a design problem on adaptive predictive control for non-uniformly sampled multi-rate systems. Using an adaptive output estimator with a simple structure for uncertain multi-rate sampled systems, an adaptive predictive control design method will be proposed for non-uniformly sampled multi-rate systems. The effectiveness of the proposed predictive control will be verified through experiments of liquid level control of two-tank system.
