Adaptive Control Scheme for Large‐Scale Interconnected Systems Described by Hammerstein Models

Abstract

This paper proposes an adaptive algorithm for the online control of discrete‐time large‐scale nonlinear systems, which reduces the noise effects acting on the system output (regulation problem) and allows the system output to keep track of a time‐varying trajectory (tracking problem). We consider a large‐scale nonlinear system that can be decomposed into single‐input single‐output (SISO) interconnected nonlinear subsystems with known structure variables (orders, delays) and unknown time‐varying parameters. Each interconnected subsystem is described by block‐oriented models, specifically a discrete‐time Hammerstein model. Parameter adaptation is performed using a recursive parametric estimation algorithm based on the adjustable model method and the least squares techniques. Simulation results of an interconnected petroleum process are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed control scheme.

Improved Discrete Techniques of Time‐Delay and Order Estimation for Large‐Scale Interconnected Nonlinear Systems

“…In the literature, several presentations are used to describe the dynamics of this class of systems. We can cite input-output discrete models [11], continuous statespace models [1,2], and block-oriented mathematical models [10,[12][13][14]. In this framework, we consider the class of largescale systems which consist of several interconnected Hammerstein subsystems operating in a stochastic environment with unknown time-varying parameters and described by the following dynamic equation:…”

“…These works preoccupied more particularly the large-scale systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], the nonlinear systems , and the nonstationary systems [12][13][14]. The class of large-scale systems can be found in different fields as transportation processes, power processes, communication networks, space structures, and others.…”

Direct and indirect self-tuning generalized minimum variance control

“…Mourad and Samira applied direct STC to a class of great-scale systems [18]. The schemes are described by linear time-invariant patterns with unknown and possibly slowly varying parameters.…”

Robust Backstepping Sliding Mode Controller Investigation for a Port Plate Position Servo System Based on an Extended States Observer

“…Hydraulic systems have been widely used in industry because of their high power density. However, due to the low efficiency of traditional hydraulic systems, many new hydraulic energy saving technologies have been developed . A hydraulic transformer is a hydraulic component that converts the input hydraulic energy at a given pressure into output hydraulic energy at another pressure without any throttle loss, which is a key component in building a CPR (common pressure rail) system .…”
