Feedback-assisted iterative learning model predictive control with nonlinear fuzzy model
Summary: Iterative learning control (ILC), due to its advantage of requiring less system knowledge, can serve as a feedforward signal in system control. ILC can be combined with model predictive control (MPC) to constitute a feedforward-feedback configuration. In this scheme, ILC provides most of the control signal and copes with the repetitive disturbances. MPC provides the supplementary control for regulation purpose and also for nonrepeating disturbance rejection. Considering the nonlinear industrial process, this paper establishes the plant nonlinear fuzzy model to constitute the fuzzy model-based feedback-assisted ILC. The integrated control strategy can achieve wide-range operation and good tracking performance. The performance of the feedback-assisted ILC is illustrated by a steam-boiler system.
