ASIN: 1852336943 |
Book Description
From power plants to sugar refining, model predictive control (MPC) schemes have established themselves as the preferred control strategies for a wide variety of processes.
The second edition of Model Predictive Control provides a thorough introduction to theoretical and practical aspects of the most commonly used MPC strategies. It bridges the gap between the powerful but often abstract techniques of control researchers and the more empirical approach of practitioners. Model Predictive Control demonstrates that a powerful technique does not always require complex control algorithms.
The text features material on the following subjects:
• general MPC elements and algorithms;
• commercial MPC schemes;
• generalized predictive control
• multivariable, robust, constrained nonlinear and hybrid MPC;
• fast methods for MPC implementation;
• applications.
All of the material is thoroughly updated for the second edition with the chapters on nonlinear MPC, MPC and hybrid systems and MPC implementation being entirely new. Many new exercises and examples have also have also been added throughout and MATLAB ® programs to aid in their solution can be downloaded from the authors' website. The text is an excellent aid for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and will also be of use to researchers and industrial practitioners wishing to keep abreast of a fast-moving field.

J.A. Rossiter Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0849312914 |
Book Description
Model Predictive Control (MPC) has become a widely used methodology across all engineering disciplines, yet there are few books which study this approach. Until now, no book has addressed in detail all key issues in the field including apriori stability and robust stability results. Engineers and MPC researchers now have a volume that provides a complete overview of the theory and practice of MPC as it relates to process and control engineering. Model-Based Predictive Control, A Practical Approach, analyzes predictive control from its base mathematical foundation, but delivers the subject matter in a readable, intuitive style. The author writes in layman's terms, avoiding jargon and using a style that relies upon personal insight into practical applications. This detailed introduction to predictive control introduces basic MPC concepts and demonstrates how they are applied in the design and control of systems, experiments, and industrial processes. The text outlines how to model, provide robustness, handle constraints, ensure feasibility, and guarantee stability. It also details options in regard to algorithms, models, and complexity vs. performance issues.

Constrained Model Predictive Control of a Nonlinear Aerospace System
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423566742 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A086633. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Recent research efforts have applied the receding horizon Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy to linearized high performance aerospace systems. The research contained in this thesis used these recent results in order to apply the MPC strategy to a nonlinear high performance aerospace system, specifically an F-16 fighter aircraft model. The model was commanded to follow dynamic trajectories of roll angle and altitude. Further, adaptive constraint techniques were used to improve system tracking. To accomplish these tasks, code and block diagrams were generated using the commercial software packages of Matlab and Simulink. Numerous simulations were conducted with the goal of achieving realistic aircraft performance. In many cases, to improve system tracking and reduce control input oscillations, rigid mathematical constraints previously used in the MPC strategy were relaxed.

Control of Dead-time Processes (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
J.E. Normey-Rico , and E.F. Camacho Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1846288282 |
Book Description
Industrial processes and engineering, economic and biological systems commonly exhibit time delays or dead times. Dead time complicates the analysis and design of control systems and makes satisfactory control more difficult.
Control of Dead-time Processes introduces the fundamental techniques for controlling dead-time processes ranging from simple monovariable to complex multivariable cases. Solutions to dead-time-process-control problems are studied using classical proportional-integral-differential (PID) control for the simpler examples and dead-time-compensator (DTC) and model predictive control (MPC) methods for progressively more complex ones. Although MPC and DTC approaches originate in different areas of control, both use predictors to overcome the effects of dead time. Using this fact, the text analyses MPC as a dead-time-compensation strategy and shows how it can be used synergistically with robust DTC tuning methodologies.
Graduate students working for their masters or PhDs in automatic control, chemical, electronic or mechanical engineering, in which dead-time processes are prevalent, will gain particular benefit from the following features of this text:
• interlinked study of PID, DTC and MPC for dead-time processes in a single source;
• exercises and further reading for each chapter;
• extensive use of illustrations, tables and examples;
• case studies based on real industrial problems with solutions that are simple to understand and easy to implement;
• MATLAB ® code developed by the authors to help analyse and control dead-time processes including code for all the examples in the book available for download from the Web.
Control of Dead-time Processes will also be of interest to control researchers and process control engineers. Chapters 1-8 of the text can be used as part of the final-year course for undergraduates in control or process engineering.

Model Predictive Control for Ascent Load Management of a Reusable Launch Vehicle
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423509188 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A380504. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: During the boost phase of ascent, winds have a significant impact on a launch vehicle's angle of attack, and can induce large structural loads on the vehicle. Traditional methods for mitigating these loads involve measuring the winds prior to launch and designing trajectories to minimize the vehicle angle of attack (0). The current balloon-based method of collecting wind field information produces wind profiles with significant uncertainty due to the inherent time delays associated with balloon measurement procedures. Managing the mission risk caused by these uncertain wind measurements has always been important to control system designers. This thesis will describe a novel approach to managing structural loads through the combination of a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) wind sensor, and Model Predictive Control (MPC). LIDAR wind sensors can provide near real-time wind measurements, significantly reducing wind uncertainty at launch. MPC takes full advantage of this current wind information through a unique combination of proactive control, con-traint integration and tuning flexibility. This thesis describes the development of two types of MPC controllers, as well as a baseline controller representative of current control methods used by industry. A complete description of Model Predictive Control theory and derivation of the necessary control matrices is included. The performance of each MPC controller is compared to that of the baseline controller for a wide range of wind profiles from both the Eastern and Western U.S. Test Ranges.Books:
