MPC-Based Offset-Free Tracking Control for Intermittent Transonic Wind Tunnel

Abstract

This paper addresses the offset-free model predictive control (MPC) for the intermittent transonic wind tunnel (ITWT). The offset-free property holds by introducing the controller state equation which introduces an integral action, while the controller state can keep as the decision variable. The infinite-horizon control moves are parameterized as a sequence of degrees of freedom followed by a control law. The terminal constraint set and terminal control law are designed based on the asymptotic invariance ellipsoid in which physical constraints are satisfied. The previous dual-mode MPC is appropriately modified withholding the closed-loop stability. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
