This 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.

Abstract
This 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.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
