MPC and LQRMPC and LQR• Consider the MPC control law:

• In a polyhedral region around the origin the MPC controllaw is equivalent to the constrained LQR controller with weights Q,R.

• The larger the horizon, the larger the region where MPC=LQR

(Chmielewski, Manousiouthakis, 1996)

(Scokaert and Rawlings, 1998)

Jacopo Francesco Riccati (1676 - 1754)

MPC = constrained LQR

• Proof is constructive: given an MLD system it returns its equivalent PWA form

• Drawback: it needs the enumeration of all possible combinations of binary states, binary inputs, and δ variables

• Most of such combinations lead to empty regions

• Efficient algorithms are available for converting MLD models into PWA models avoiding such an enumeration:

• A. Bemporad, “Efficient Algorithms for Converting Mixed Logical Dynamical Systems into an Equivalent Piecewise Affine Form”, IEEE Trans. Autom. Contr., 2004.

• Mixed-integer programming is NP-hard

• Extremely rich literature in operations research (still very active)

• No need to reach the global optimum for stability of MPC

(see proof of the theorem), although performance deteriorates

Main Drawbacks of OnMain Drawbacks of On--line line Combinatorial OptimizationCombinatorial Optimization

• Computation time may be too long: good for large sampling

times (>1s), but not for fast sampling applications (e.g. 1ms)

• Requires relatively expensive hardware (e.g. a PC, not suitable

on inexpensive μ-controllers)

• Software complexity: MIP solver code difficult to certify (not

good for safety critical applications)

• Worst-case computation time is often hard to estimate

(over-estimation is usually exaggerate)

Any way to get rid of on-line solvers ?

• Alternatives: (1) solve MIP on-line(2) evaluate a PWA function

• Small problems (short horizon N=1,2, one or two inputs):explicit PWA control law preferable

- time to evaluate the control law is shorter than MIP

- control code is simpler (no complex solver must be included in the control software !)

- more insight in controller’s behavior

• Medium/large problems (longer horizon, many inputs

and binary variables): MIP preferable

Regime

DISC EngineDISC Engine

Homogeneous Stratified

Pro: reduce consumption up to 15%;Con: complex treatment of exhaust gas

- States: intake manifold pressure (pm)

- Outputs: Air-to-fuel ratio (λ), torque (τ),max-brake-torque spark timing (δmbt)

- Inputs: spark advance (δ), air flow (Wth),fuel flow (Wf), combustion regime (ρ);

- Disturbance: engine speed (ω) [measured]

Objective: Design a controller for the engine that

• Automatically chooses operating mode(homogeneous/stratified)

• Can cope with nonlinear dynamics

• Handles constraints(on A/F ratio, air-flow, spark)

• Achieves optimal performance(tracking of desired torque and A/F ratio)
