Stochastic Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (SNMPC)

Stochastic Model Predictive Control

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a control strategy that has been used successfully in numerous and diverse application areas. The aim of the present article is to discuss how the basic ideas of MPC can be extended to problems involving random model uncertainty with known probability distribution. We discuss cost indices, constraints, closed loop properties and implementation issues.

Particle Model Predictive Control: Tractable Stochastic Nonlinear Output-Feedback MPC

We combine conditional state density construction with an extension of the Scenario Approach for stochastic Model Predictive Control to nonlinear systems to yield a novel particle-based formulation of stochastic nonlinear output-feedback Model Predictive Control. Conditional densities given noisy measurement data are propagated via the Particle Filter as an approximate implementation of the Bay...

Improved Optimization Process for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of PMSM

Model-based predictive control (MPC) is one of the most efficient techniques that is widely used in industrial applications. In such controllers, increasing the prediction horizon results in better selection of the optimal control signal sequence. On the other hand, increasing the prediction horizon increase the computational time of the optimization process which make it impossible to be imple...

Nonparametric Nonlinear Model Predictive Control

−Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently found wide acceptance in industrial applications, but its potential has been much impeded by linear models due to the lack of a similarly accepted nonlinear modeling or databased technique. Aimed at solving this problem, the paper addresses three issues: (i) extending second-order Volterra nonlinear MPC (NMPC) to higher-order for improved prediction ...
