Abstract

An integrated modeling and robust model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems. The system is identified off-line by a RBF-ARX model having linear ARX model structure and state-dependent Gaussian RBF neural network type coefficients. Based on the RBF-ARX model, a combination of a local linearization model and a polytopic uncertain linear parameter-varying model is built to approximate the present and the future system’s behavior respectively. Based on the approximate models, a min-max robust MPC algorithm with input constraint is designed for the system. The closed loop stability of the MPC strategy is guaranteed by the use of parameter-dependent Lyapunov function and the feasibility of the linear matrix inequalities. Simulation study to a NOx decomposition process illustrates the effectiveness of the modeling and robust MPC approach proposed.
