The basic structure of the control method is similar to adaptive control methods in the sense that there are two feedback loops. The inner loop is a high-gain feedback loop with a plant and a controller. The controller is completely specified except for a scalar parameter, the high-gain parameter. The controller is designed such that the stabilization of the closed loop will be achieved if the high-gain parameter is chosen large enough. This feature facilitates a simple procedure of tuning the high-gain parameter by increasing it monotonically until it is large enough. The tuning of the parameter is set up by the outer loop. The high-gain parameter is increased in a stepwise fashion so as to follow a continuous-time parameter which is determined by an adaptation rule. The stepwise incrementation plays a crucial role in simplifying the analysis, since between any two switching points the controller is a simple linear time-invariant one.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114695652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The indirect approach is shown to be a suitable method when used with a recirculation network, making it possible to solve the predictive control with the network itself.

If the system and/or the input depend on uncertain parameters then a worst-case philosophy dictates that the analysis goal should be to determine the maximum and minimum possible equilibrium values of the output. It is shown that the system is robustly stable and if the dependence on the uncertain parameters is to an extent multiaffine, then the extreme values of the steady state response over the entire set of parameters is equal to the extreme values over just the vertices of the parameter set. This vertex result is doubly useful because it is valid in both continuous-time and discrete-time. For the transient response of stable systems, the vertices do not provide sufficient information for a complete analysis. Examples are presented which show that the maximum overshoot to the step response of a robustly stable uncertain system does not necessarily occur at a vertex. The systems in these examples have an affine dependence on a single uncertain parameter.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124300235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods produce systems with very special structure and this structure can be exploited in developing computational algorithms. A considerable portion of numerical linear algebra is devoted to numerical methods for systems involving banded, sparse, or block diagonal matrices. However, most numerical algorithms currently used in control design do not take advantage of the special structure that results from approximating infinite dimensional systems by Galerkin models. The authors discuss the problem of computing system radii (e.g., controllability, stabilizability, observability, and detectability margins) for finite element approximations of elastic systems. The simple one dimensional wave equation is used to illustrate the basic ideas.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124158972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is assumed that the plant is described by a discrete-time state-space model with time-delay, and a direct link between input and output. First, based on the linear quadratic inverse technique, the authors derive an optimal tracking controller having integral, state feedback plus preview actions. To derive a state-space model of a heat exchanger, an ARX model was fitted to the open-loop data obtained from the plant. The properties of the tracking control algorithm are analyzed by simulation studies using the identified model. The optimal control algorithm with an observer was installed on a process computer to provide the set points for the analog PID (proportional plus integral plus derivative) regulators of a heat exchanger plant. Experimental studies show that the control performance of water outlet temperature in the presence of load change is greatly improved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126248095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
