First, the sizes of the minimal robust positively invariant set and corresponding minimal residual set are computed based on the Frobenius norm size (i.e., Frobenius radius) of zonotopes. Second, by formulating the size minimization problem as a solvable optimization problem, an observer gain is designed to minimize the minimal robust positively invariant set. Third, by maximizing the relative effect of faults to uncertainties, an observer gain is further designed to optimize robust fault detection performance. At the end, several examples are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

The design uses a quadratic optimisation programme to seamlessly combine control requirements on the input and output sides of the converter. On the input side, the requirements are to keep the source voltage and current in phase with each other and to attenuate transient oscillations caused by a resonant RLC filter, which is used to protect the voltage source from undesirable harmonics. On the output side the requirement is to track a desired current to feed a load. The novel aspects of the scheme are that (i) the optimisation is posed in terms of the converter's modulation matrix, whose entries represent the duty cycles of each of the converter switches; and that (ii) the solution of the optimisation is obtained in closed form and shown to be implementable with a small number of elementary operations. Simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed design.

The term... [more] This work introduces a novel and simple way of designing MPC schemes that ensure practical stability under less restrictive assumptions than those of existing approaches. The terminal control invariant set required by most stabilizing MPC formulations is replaced by a pair of simpler inner and outer sets, which are not invariant but satisfy a weaker condition. The advantage of using this pair of sets instead of a classical invariant set is the flexibility in their design and ultimately the simplicity. Two key modifications, one in the stage cost function and other related to a constraint, are introduced in the optimal control problem that MPC solves at each time. It is shown that convergence to the outer set, which is the target region, is ensured within finite-time and that the proposed MPC scheme can keep controlling the system in the target set without requiring a different local controller. A numerical example with a nonlinear model of an inverted pendulum is used to illustrate these results.

The asso... [more] The Matrix Converter is a power electronics topology that allows direct conversion of an alternating-current (AC) source to an AC load operating at a different frequency. The associated control problem is inherently difficult since it is both nonlinear and underactuated. This paper describes a novel control strategy for Matrix Converters based on Transient Power Balance. The scheme achieves the following design objectives: tracking of a desired load current, tracking of a desired supply (leading or lagging) power factor, rapid active damping of supply-current oscillations, arising from a supply-side resonant filter, without needing any additional resistance on the supply side, and mitigation of supply-current distortion arising from supply-voltage distortion. Achieving these goals simultaneously has hitherto been an open problem in this area. All of these goals are achieved in the face of significant errors in circuit component values. A proof of local asymptotic stability of the proposed algorithm is given and associated design constraints are addressed. The claims are illustrated by simulation studies.

We consider a previously proposed frequency droop control with secondary control loop and we investigate the effect on the performance due to an increase in the number of inverters connected to the microgrid. To mitigate the observed performance deterioration, we propose a new controller that guarantees string stability of the inverter-based microgrid and show its performance via simulations.

[more] This paper focuses on designing, via the minimization of a suitable cost function, an input sequence to guarantee active fault diagnosis (AFD) of discrete-time linear parameter-varying systems regardless of how the scheduling variables change in the scheduling set. Convex polyhedrons are used to characterize the sets of system uncertainties such that the designed input sequence leads to outputs which are consistent with a unique fault mode or healthy mode. Considering the smoothness and energy of the input sequence simultaneously, the optimal input sequence is obtained by solving a family of linear constrained quadratic programming (LCQP) problems in a brute-force way, which will lead to inefficiency when the number of facets of the interest region becomes large. In order to handle this problem, by analyzing a geometric property of the objective function, the original optimization problem is shown to be equivalent to the minimization of the radius of a hypersphere containing the origin based on a simple linear mapping, which is much more efficient than the brute force-based resolution. At the end of this paper, a numerical example and a vehicle model are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

However, the use of matrix converters requires addressing a potential issue with input resonance, which can be exacerbated when using long feeders or trailing cables. This article addresses this problem by proposing a novel solution based on principles of modern control but shaped as a classical feedback architecture. Along with high quality reference tracking, the proposed solution utilizes the frequency changing properties of matrix converters to attenuate the input filter resonance by spectral shaping of the output current. This article shows that the solutions achieves its goals. Design and implementation details are discussed. This article results are validated by simulations and experiments.

They can occur as part of the model in systems containing lightly damped resonances or they can be deliberately introduced so as to ensure perfect tracking for sinusoidal or periodic signals. This paper establishes both time and frequency domain implications of such poles on system performance. Dual results for zeros on, or near, the imaginary axis are also discussed. Many practitioners are, at least heuristically, aware of the broad implications of these results but, to the best of the authors¿ knowledge, they have not previously been explicitly articulated nor quantified.

[more] The concepts of ultimate bounds and invariant sets play a key role in several control theory problems, as they replace the notion of asymptotic stability in the presence of unknown disturbances. However, when the disturbances are unbounded, as in the case of Gaussian white noise, no ultimate bounds nor invariant sets can in general be found. To overcome this limitation we introduced, in previous work, the notions of probabilistic ultimate bound (PUB) and probabilistic invariant set (PIS) for discrete-time systems. This article extends the notions of PUB and PIS to continuous-time systems, studying their main properties and providing tools for their calculation. In addition, the use of these concepts in robust control design by covariance assignment is presented.

The strategy combines a digital nominal controller under controller-driven (varying) sampling with virtual actuator (VA)-based controller reconfiguration to compensate for abrupt actuator faults and invariant-set-based fault detection and isolation. Two independent objectives are considered: (a) closed-loop stability with setpoint tracking and (b) controller reconfiguration under faults. Our main contribution is to extend an existing fault detection and isolation and VA-based controller reconfiguration strategy to systems under controller-driven sampling in such a way that if objective (a) is possible under controller-driven sampling (without VA) and objective (b) is possible under uniform sampling (without controller-driven sampling), then closed-loop stability and setpoint tracking will be preserved under both healthy and faulty operations for any possible sampling rate evolution that may be selected by the controller.

Conditions for correct fault detection and bounds on the fault estimation are derived. The Chua circuit is used to illustrate the proposed scheme.

A switched LPV sy... [more] In this paper, we address the problem of robust stability and set invariance of switched linear parameter varying (LPV) systems affected by bounded disturbances. A switched LPV system is a collection of single LPV subsystems with a switching rule that decides which subsystem is active at each time. This framework is useful for LPV systems with large parameter variation range for which it may be difficult to assess or guarantee stability over the whole parameter range. Our first contribution is to derive a result for a single LPV system that extends and generalises previous work for switched systems. Our second, and main, contribution is to apply this seed result in the derivation of dwell-time-type conditions on the switched-LPV switching rule, which ensure robust closed-loop stability and set invariance of the trajectories of the switched-LPV system across the whole parameter range. As an application of the results, we consider the problem of reference tracking for LPV systems using switched LPV state feedback and feedforward from an LPV reference system. Two examples are presented to illustrate the results: a two-mass-spring system with a varying spring characteristic and the nonlinear model of a coupled-tank system which is embedded into a switched LPV system description.

This paper presents a feedback design approach to minimise state ultimate-bounds (UBs) in linear time-invariant discrete-time systems subject to non-vanishing bounded disturbances. A target closed-loop eigenstructure is first constructed to achieve the lowest possible UBs for one or more state components of the system. Structural conditions on the system matrices are then derived to guarantee that the target eigenstructure can be assigned by state feedback. When the required structural conditions are satisfied, an eigenvector assignment procedure can be applied to simultaneously minimise multiple UBs in systems with multiple inputs. The results are illustrated by a numerical example drawn from a distributed voltage control problem in inverter-based microgrids.

This is true to both the downlink (between a control base station and actuators) and the uplink (between the sensors and base station). Here, we present a strategy aimed at this problem based on a singular value decomposition of the Hessian of the quadratic performance index generally considered in Model Predictive Control. The singular vectors are employed to generate an orthonormal basis function expansion of the unconstrained solution to the finite horizon optimal control problem. These are preloaded into each actuator and each sensor. On the downlink, the actuators are informed, in real-time, about which basis functions they should use. On the uplink, after a 'burn in period', the sensors need only communicate when their response departs from that pre-calculated for the given basis functions. We show that this strategy facilitates communication in both the downlink and uplink in a cost-effective fashion. We also show that the strategy can be modified so that input constraints are satisfied. We illustrate the proposed results by applying them to a simulation of the cross direction control of a paper machine. Potential extensions and other applications of the proposed strategy are also discussed.

The Lure plant is controlled by an observer-based feedback tracking controller, designed for the nominal (fault-free) system. Suitable residual signals are constructed from measurable system outputs and estimates associated with the nominal observer. Faults are diagnosed by online contrasting the residual signal trajectories against sets of values that the residuals are shown to attain under healthy or faulty operation. These values are obtained via set-invariance analysis of the system closed-loop trajectories.

[more] We present a novel method to compute componentwise ultimate bounds and invariant regions for a class of switching discrete-time linear systems with perturbation bounds that may depend nonlinearly on a delayed state. The method has the important advantage that it allows each component of the perturbation vector to have an independent bound and that the bounds and sets obtained are also given componentwise. This componentwise method does not employ a standard norm for bounding either the perturbation or state vectors, and thus may avoid conservativeness due to different perturbation or state vector components having substantially different bounds. We also establish the relationship between the class of switching linear systems to which the proposed method can be applied and those that admit a common quadratic Lyapunov function. We illustrate the application of our method via numerical examples, including the fault tolerance analysis of the feedback control of a winding machine. © 2013 © 2013 Taylor & Francis.

The main advantage of the method is its componentwise nature, i.e. the fact that it allows each component of the perturbation vector to have an independent bound and that the bounds and sets obtained are also given componentwise. This componentwise method does not employ a norm for bounding either the perturbation or state vectors, avoids the need for scaling the different state vector components in order to obtain useful results, and may also reduce conservativeness in some cases. The present paper builds upon and extends to switching systems with delayed-state-dependent perturbations previous results by the authors. In this sense, the contribution is three-fold: the derivation of the aforementioned extension; the elucidation of the precise relationship between the class of switching linear systems to which the proposed method can be applied and those that admit a common quadratic Lyapunov function (a question that was left open in our previous work); and the derivation of a technique to compute a common quadratic Lyapunov function for switching linear systems with perturbations bounded componentwise by affine functions of the absolute value of the state vector components. In this latter case, we also show how our componentwise method can be combined with standard techniques in order to derive bounds possibly tighter than those corresponding to either method applied individually. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

In t... [more] In spite of its easy implementation, ability to handle constraints and nonlinearities, etc.; model predictive control (MPC) does have drawbacks including tuning difficulties. In this paper, we propose a refinement to the basic MPC strategy by incorporating a tuning parameter such that one can move smoothly from an existing controller to a new MPC strategy. Each change of this tuning parameter leads to a new stabilising control law, therefore, allowing one to gradually move from an existing control law to a new and better one. For the infinite horizon case without constraints and for the general case with state and input constraints, stability results are established. We also examine the practical applicability of the proposed approach by employing it in the nominal prediction model of the tube-based output feedback robust MPC method. The merits of the proposed method are illustrated by examples. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A novel featu... [more] We propose a fault-tolerant control scheme that deals with sensor and actuator faults through the use of a virtual actuator (VA) and a bank of virtual sensors (VSs). A novel feature of the scheme is that the VSs implicitly integrate both fault detection and isolation (FDI) and - in conjunction with the VA - controller reconfiguration tasks. The VA and the bank of VSs operate in closed-loop with an observer-based tracking controller designed for a nominal (fault free) model of the plant. A switching rule that reconfigures the VA and engages the suitable VS from the bank is based on sets defined for measurable residual signals constructed directly from the VS signals. Our method handles abrupt actuator and sensor faults of arbitrary magnitude including complete outage. The overall scheme is shown to guarantee closed-loop boundedness and setpoint tracking under all considered fault situations. Enhancements of the scheme to deal with errors in the fault detection and isolation are also proposed. Applications of the scheme to a winding machine and an interconnected tank system are presented. © 2013 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

The scheme is based on a bank of state estimators that match different fault situations that can occur in the system. A fault detection and isolation unit verifies that suitable residual variables lie inside pre-computed sets and selects the estimate that matches the current plant behaviour. A bank of robustly stabilizing tube-based model predictive control laws is designed, each associated to a fault scenario, and the appropriate controller is selected among them by using the information provided by the fault detection and isolation module. By means of 'tubes' of trajectories, we ensure robust closed-loop exponential stability of the constrained system and good performance in the fault-free case and under the occurrence of abrupt actuator faults, including actuator outage and loss of effectiveness by an unknown amount. © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The strategy combines a robust fault detection and identification (FDI) unit based on an invariant-set approach with controller reconfiguration based on the use of a virtual sensor. The robust FDI unit employs a bank of observers that can detect faulty and healthy situations based on the separation of relevant sets, whose computation takes into account system disturbances and model uncertainty. The closed-loop system is reconfigured by means of a virtual sensor which is adapted to the fault situation detected by the FDI unit. The FDI and virtual sensor modules are designed using polytopic LPV techniques and bilinear matrix inequalities. The resulting robust fault tolerant control scheme is guaranteed to preserve boundedness of the closed-loop system trajectories under a wide range of sensor fault scenarios. The performance of the proposed scheme is illustrated by a simulation example. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The basic principle is that induced eddy currents are used to heat a ferromagnetic material as it passes through a series of coils. Because of the importance of such systems, there has been on-going interest in their design and operation. Past work includes model development from physical principles and optimal design of operational practices. However, previous work has invariably been based on open-loop strategies. Our work is aimed at the design of a closed-loop control strategy incorporating feedback from the available measurements. This paper reports initial work including model development and calibration together with preliminary control system design. Proposed future work includes full scale industrial implementation.© 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The method is based on eigenstructure assignment by state feedback and utilises a componentwise bound computation procedure recently proposed by the authors. This procedure exploits both the system and perturbation structures by performing componentwise analysis, thus avoiding the need for bounds on the norm of the perturbation. We present examples which illustrate the simplicity and generality of the method.

This method detects and identifies an actuator fault and reconfigures the controller in order to maintain the ride comfort and vehicle performance in the presence of road disturbances. The proposed scheme consists of a diagnosis module and a controller reconfiguration module. The diagnosis module is based on the Unknown Input Observer approach to detect and identify actuator faults. A bank of observers is designed to generate residual signals such that each of them matches the system in a defined actuator fault mode. The controller reconfiguration module consists of a bank of controllers, each corresponding to a fault mode of the system. The module then changes the control law after the detection and the identification of an actuator fault. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the scheme applied to the active suspension system, which keeps its properties under the occurrence of severe faults. © 2007 IEEE.

All rights reserved.This paper analyses conditions for computing invariant sets for Lure-type nonlinear systems via two different approaches, by bounding the nonlinear terms and by embedding the nonlinear system in a linear parameter varying (LPV) model. Furthermore, we show that by an appropriate redefinition of the system's nonlinear terms, the sets obtained by both approaches can be made identical. These methods can be used to compute sets characterising faultless (nominal) and faulty system behaviour, which are applicable for fault diagnosis under specific conditions that guarantee their separation. We also present a simple mechanism for sensor fault estimation and controller compensation, thus resulting in a closed-loop fault tolerant control system. An example of a pendulum system is provided to illustrate the proposed approach.

The scheme consists of a closedloop system with an estimator-based feedback tracking controller that combines healthy sensor-estimator pairings via a fusion algorithm. Faulty sensors are detected and discarded based on a set separation criterion, which considers both model uncertainty and system disturbances. We ensure the preservation of closed-loop system boundedness for a wide range of sensor fault situations and for the whole domain of plant model uncertainty. To illustrate the performance of the proposed FTC strategy, a flexible joint robotic arm example is presented.

[more] In this paper, we first provide a mathematical description and proof for the robust stability of systems with convex polytopic uncertainty through the construction of attractive invariant sets. Then, we present the problem of estimating the convergence time to arbitrarily tight over-approximations of an invariant set, from both a known initial condition and for initial conditions belonging to a convex polytopic set. We then propose various analytical and numerical methods for computing the aforementioned convergence time. Finally, a number of numerical examples, including a flexible link robotic manipulator, are given to illustrate the results.

The essential feature of the method is a receding horizon quadratic optimal control problem which is solved subject to input constraints. On the other hand, anti-windup methods are ad-hoc procedures which achieve input saturation in an instantaneous fashion. Both methods are known to perform well in practice and each has its strong advocates. In this paper, we explore connections between the methods. In particular, we show that there are cases in which anti-windup schemes are identical to MPC schemes. In other cases, we show that anti-windup has performance which is close to that of MPC strategies.

[more] Icing is regarded as a severe structural alteration affecting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), since ice accretion on wings and control surfaces modifies the aircraft shape resulting in altered controllability and performance of the vehicle. We study the problem of detection of icing and estimation of its 'severity' factor in longitudinal control of UAVs. We propose to employ a bank of unknown input observers (UlOs), each designed to match a model of the aircraft under a particular level of icing taken from a quantisation of the icing's severity factor range of variation. The UIO design exploits the change in equilibrium conditions, caused by the icing effect, to identify a direction in the observer estimation error space that allows for aircraft icing detection and estimation. By selecting at each time the observer from the bank that yields the smallest value of a suitable residual signal, the icing severity factor can be estimated with an accuracy that is inversely proportional to the size of the quantisation level.

Most works dealing with FTC of LPV systems in general, and in particular using virtual actuators, assume perfect knowledge of the 'varying parameter' of the LPV system description at all times. In this paper, for LPV systems with convex polytopic modelling description, we derive conditions for closed-loop stability of the overall virtual-actuator based FTC system when the varying parameter is not exactly known but measured with bounded errors.

The closed-loop scheme consists of an estimator-based feedback tracking controller and sensor-estimate switching strategy which allows for the recovery of faulty sensors. The switching mechanism tracks the transitions from faulty to healthy behaviour by means of set separation and pre-computed transition times. The selected sensor-estimate pairing is then reconfigured based on available healthy sensors. Under the proposed scheme, preservation of closed-loop system boundedness is guaranteed for a wide range of sensor fault situations. An example is presented to illustrate the performance of the FTC strategy.

[more] A recently proposed set-theoretic approach to fault diagnosis is based on membership of residual signals to (invariant) sets that characterise healthy and faulty system behaviour. Correct diagnosis is achieved if the relevant sets are disjoint. Tighter sets that allow separation for a larger class of faults are hence desirable within this approach. In this paper, we investigate methods to compute invariant sets for a Lure system from two different perspectives: by bounding the nonlinear terms and by embedding the nonlinear system in a linear parameter varying (LPV) model. To analyse and compare the methods, we develop a scalar and a second-order system case, and provide an example of a latter system. The results show that both approaches can be used for fault diagnosis and yield comparable performance for this type of systems under specific conditions.

The strategy selects, at each instant of time, the sensor (belonging to a collection of sensors) that provides the best closed loop performance, as measured by a control-performance criterion. It is assumed that each sensor has an associated feedback controller that has been designed such that the sensor-controller pair stabilises the closed loop system under normal operation conditions. Recent refinements for constructing ultimate-bound invariant sets allow obtaining less conservative fault-tolerant guarantees. Stability of the switching system under fault-free operation conditions and under presence of sensor failures are established in the main results of this paper.

The new algorithm uses the structure of the null controllable set of input constrained unstable systems to produce a closed-loop system with a region of attraction that is an arbitrarily close approximation to this set. We show that the RPMPC algorithm converges in a finite number of iterations and we establish stability of the resulting closed-loop system. In addition, we present a rigorous worst case complexity analysis together with average computational tests. Both these studies show that for long horizons RPMPC has a lower computational requirement than that of standard MPC.

One of the major contributors to MPC's computational complexity is the length of the control sequence or, equivalently, the number of optimisation parameters. This paper analyses the null controllable sets, and their related finite horizon approximation, of a class of unstable systems. The analysis reveals that the same control action can be obtained using a much smaller set of control moves via a technique which we term reduced parameterisation.

We show that closed-loop stability of the resulting switching scheme is guaranteed in the presence of faulty sensors if a set of conditions on the system parameters (such as bounds on the sensor noises, maximum and minimum values of the reference signal, etc.) is satisfied. This constitutes an important step in enhancing and broadening the applicability of the proposed multisensor scheme since it provides guaranteed properties such as fault tolerance and robust closed-loop stability under sensor failure. The results are applied to the problem of automotive longitudinal control.

The method is based on eigenstructure assignment by state feedback and utilises a componentwise bound computation procedure recently proposed by the authors. This procedure exploits both the system and perturbation structures by performing componentwise analysis, thus avoiding the need for bounds on the norm of the perturbation. We present examples which illustrate the simplicity and generality of the method. |

Such questions can be formulated as optimization problems. The advantages of using an explicit optimization formulation include clear articulation of performance trade-offs and the provision of a clear basis for quantitative comparison of different strategies. In this paper we will briefly review aspects of modern optimization. We will also show how these tools can be deployed in scheduling, estimation and control. We will illustrate the ideas by examples drawn from the mining, mineral and metal processing field. Copyright © 2007 IFAC.

It is assumed that the full state of the system is not measured and, instead, a measured output corrupted with measurement noise is available. It is also assumed that the control inputs are subject to polyhedral constraints. The CE control implementation uses a receding-horizon control law to compute the control action based on a state estimate obtained from a moving horizon state estimator. The structure of the solution is given by a piece-wise affine function of the parameters of the problem and a partition of the parameter space into polyhedral regions. The parameterized regions and coefficients of the piece-wise affine function can be pre-computed offline, allowing a simplified approach in implementing the output-feedback controller online. © 2006 IEEE.

[more] This paper investigates the structure present in constrained linear state estimation problems formulated as a quadratic optimization program subject to linear inequality constraints. Polyhedral constraints on the system disturbance, the measurement noise, and the initial state are considered. The result interprets the measurement data and prior estimate as parameters and the parameter space is partitioned into multiple regions. Within each region the state estimate can be calculated as a piece-wise affine function of the measurement data and prior estimate. The parameterized regions and coefficients of the piece-wise affine function can be precomputed offline allowing a simplified approach in implementing a moving horizon estimation scheme.

The problem is first posed as a receding horizon optimal control problem by modelling backlash as a piecewise affine system with a state space partition consisting of three regions. This optimal control problem involves solving, at each step, 3N quadratic programmes, where N is the optimisation horizon. As an alternative to solving the quadratic programmes, we propose a strategy based on a recently devised suboptimal receding horizon control algorithm which utilises a singular value decomposition of the Hessian of the quadratic programme. This alternative strategy leads, at the cost of some performance degradation, to much smaller computational load since a feasible rather than optimal solution has to be obtained at each step.

[more] The solution to constrained linear model predictive control (MPC) problems can be pre-computed off-line in an explicit form as a piecewise affine (PWA) state feedback law defined on polyhedral regions of the state space. Even though real-time optimization is avoided, implementation of the PWA state-feedback law may still require a significant amount of computation due to the problem of determining which polyhedral region the state lies in. In this paper, a neural network approach to this problem is investigated.

We show that solving a class of quadratic programming (QP) problems is equivalent to solving a class of well-posed nonlinear algebraic loops. These algebraic loops are closely related to that found in static anti-windup synthesis. It therefore follows that certain classes of MPC can be implemented in a form that is a direct generalisation of the standard anti-windup structure. Implementations for classes of MPC are then derived for both regulator and tracking problems. Several alternative iterative algorithms for solving the algebraic loop are then presented. Some simulation results are also provided, with an example computational comparison to active set and interior point based MPC.

In the first redesign we construct a passivating control law from a CLF obtained by backstepping. In the second redesign we simplify the passivation redesign which becomes cumbersome for high order systems. We also review the two main versions of backstepping: cancelation and LGV-backstepping, and compare their stability margins.
