MPC Control of a MIMO System Under Plant Model Mismatch

Contents

This demonstration shows how to test an MPC controller under a mismatch between the nominal model which the controller is based on and the actual plant which is controlled by MPC. The nominal system has 2 manipulated variables, 2 unmeasured input disturbances, and 2 measured outputs. The actual plant has 3 unmeasured input disturbances and a different dynamics.

Plant Model and MPC Controller Setup

Define the parameters of the nominal plant which the MPC controller is based on.

p1 = tf(1,[1 2 1])*[1 1; 0 1];
plant = ss([p1 p1],'min');

Define inputs 1 and 2 as manipulated variables, 3 and 4 as unmeasured disturbances.

plant=setmpcsignals(plant,'MV',[1 2],'UD',[3 4]);

Also define input names.

set(plant,'InputName',{'mv1','mv2','umd3','umd4'});

For unmeasured input disturbances, the MPC controller will use the following model.

distModel = eye(2,2)*ss(-.5,1,1,0);

We are ready to create the MPC object.

mpcobj = mpc(plant,1,40,2);
mpcobj.Model.Disturbance = distModel;

-->The "Weights.ManipulatedVariables" property of "mpc" object is empty. 
Assuming default 0.00000.
-->The "Weights.ManipulatedVariablesRate" property of "mpc" object is emp
ty. Assuming default 0.10000.
-->The "Weights.OutputVariables" property of "mpc" object is empty. Assum
ing default 1.00000.

Define the parameters of the actual plant in closed loop with the MPC controller. Note that the actual plant has three unmeasured disturbances, while the nominal one has two.

p2 = tf(1.5,[0.1 1 2 1])*[1 1; 0 1];
psim = ss([p2 p2 tf(1,[1 1])*[0;1]],'min');
psim=setmpcsignals(psim,'MV',[1 2],'UD',[3 4 5]);

Define reference trajectories and unmeasured disturbances entering the actual plant.

dist=ones(1,3); % unmeasured disturbance trajectory
refs=[1 2];     % output reference trajectory

Tf=100;         % total number of simulation steps

Create an MPC simulation object.

options=mpcsimopt(mpcobj);
options.unmeas=dist;
options.model=psim;

Simulation Using SIM Command

Run the closed-loop MPC simulation with model mismatch and unforeseen unmeasured disturbance inputs.

sim(mpcobj,Tf,refs,options);
