Abstract:
Multilinear model predictive control (MLMPC) can regulate a nonlinear process with wide operating regions based on a set of linear models. Although online computational cost is reduced compare to nonlinear MPC (NMPC), it is difficult to obtain a reliable full nonlinear model or set of linear models in practice. In this paper, we propose a combination of MLMPC with differential dynamic programming (DDP), so that the system can be controlled offset-free in the absence of a full nonlinear model. DDP is a ‘trajectory-centric’ optimization technique that solves nonlinear optimal control problems. The trajectory can be optimized even if the full model for the system is unknown, because DDP uses only the gradients around the visited trajectory, which is easily obtained by input excitations. Moreover, the gradient information can provide linear models in the subsequent MLMPC step. In the proposed scheme, a novel model selection based on gap metric and weighting method are employed for MLMPC. We prove the offset tracking property of DDP assisted MLMPC. A continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process is studied to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
