摘要：AbstractWe address the problem of robust nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) under structural plant model mismatch in a multi-stage framework using a model-error model (MEM). Multi-stage NMPC models the presence of future feedback information in the predictions, hence it is less conservative than the other existing robust NMPC approaches. MEM consists of a stable linear model, an unknown nonlinear operator with bounded gain and a bounded additive mismatch. The computational burden of the proposed scheme is reduced by using two different approximations; 1. Constraint tightened multi-stage NMPC 2. Tube-enhanced multistage NMPC. Both the schemes are real-time implementable with a small loss in performance when compared to the standard multi-stage NMPC. The advantages of the proposed schemes are demonstrated for a benchmark continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) example.
