摘要:AbstractThis paper presents three different formulations of MPC to face static friction in control valves for industrial processes. A pure linear formulation, a stiction embedding structure, and a stiction inversion controller are designed. The controllers are derived for SISO systems with linear process dynamics, where valve stiction is the only nonlinearity present in the control loop. A novel smoothed stiction model is introduced to improve and fasten the dynamic optimization module of stiction embedding MPC. A stiction compensation method is revised and used as a warm-start to build a suitable trajectory for the predictive controller. The different MPC formulations are tested and compared on some simulation examples.
