On the design of efficient optimal tube‐based robust model predictive control: Quasi‐H∞ approach

Abstract This paper proposes a tube‐based robust model predictive control (TMPC) scheme with an optimal tube for disturbance‐affected linear systems. In the literature on TMPC, there is no proper methodology to handle the considerable effects of the tube size on the closed‐loop system performance. T...

description Abstract This paper proposes a tube‐based robust model predictive control (TMPC) scheme with an optimal tube for disturbance‐affected linear systems. In the literature on TMPC, there is no proper methodology to handle the considerable effects of the tube size on the closed‐loop system performance. There is usually a trade‐off between the disturbance rejection level and the amount of control effort available for the MPC problem. In some applications, it is nearly impossible to find a feasible TMPC to have a sufficient amount of states and inputs feasible sets for the MPC optimization problem. It would be a vital contribution to the TMPC designs if an algorithm is demonstrated which can investigate the suitability of TMPC for a specific system. This paper provides a solution for the mentioned challenges by introducing the concept of Quasi‐H∞ criterion and proposing a constrained optimization problem. The optimization problem is then reformulated and simplified to present an efficient methodology for the TMPC designers. The proposed TMPC scheme could benefit from a larger terminal region and result in a larger region of attraction. The achievements in TMPC designs are shown by simulations and comparisons with the previously used techniquesover numerical case studies.
