IPC: G05B13/04
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: A fast and reliable technique for tuning multivariable model predictive controllers (MPCs) that accounts for performance and robustness is provided. Specifically, the technique automatically yields tuning weights for the MPC based on performance and robustness requirements. The tuning weights are parameters of closed-loop transfer functions which are directly linked to performance and robustness requirements. Automatically searching the tuning parameters in their proper ranges assures that the controller is optimal and robust. This technique will deliver the traditional requirements of stability, performance and robustness, while at the same time enabling users to design their closed-loop behavior in terms of the physical domain. The method permits the user to favor one measurement over another, or to use one actuator more than another.
