The goal of this paper is to present a nonlinear model predictive control scheme for boom cranes, one of the most common type of rotary cranes. In this paper we first present a complete mathematical model for this type of cranes where it is possible to control the two rotations of the crane and the cable length. Then, we design a modelpredictivecontrol law able to drive the load to a desired position while fulfilling mechanical and safety constraints. We finally compare our controller to a partial feedback linearization coupled with a proportional derivative control with gravity compensation applied to the same model.

The coordinated control system (CCS) plays an import role in the operation of ultra-supercritical once-through boiler-turbine unit. To overcome the operating issues of the CCS, such as multivariable coupling, nonlinearity and large-time delay, a collocation method based nonlinear model predictive control is proposed in this paper. The dynamic optimization problem is transcribed into a finite dimensional nonlinear programming problem and solved using interior point-based large scale nonlinear optimization algorithm. Simulation results on a 1000MW ultra-supercritical once-through boiler-turbine unit show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) of a water-tube boiler system with oxy-fuel combustion process in an electric power plant is investigated. The control objectives are to maintain the water and pressure levels in the drum, the steam temperature in the secondary superheater, and the oxygen percentage in the flue gas. Upon the riser and drum models developed by angstrom strom [5], mathematical (nonlinear) models of the primary and secondary superheaters, attemperator and oxy-fuel combustion process are first developed. The introduced seven state variables are the water volume, steam pressure, and steam volume in the drum, vapor fraction in the riser, temperatures in the primary and secondary superheaters, and attemperator temperature. The five input variables are the feed water flow, steam flow, fuel flow, oxygen flow, and spray flow. The four output variables are the steam pressure and water level in the drum, secondary superheater temperature, and excess of oxygen in the flue gas. Since the water and steam volumes in the drum, vapor fraction in the riser, and the temperatures in the primary superheater and attemperator cannot be directly measured, two nonlinear state estimators (extended Kalman filter and particle filter for comparison purpose) are designed. Simulation results of the designed nonlinear MPC algorithm are provided.

This paper presents nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for nonlinear systems and apply to the inverted pendulum. There is distinction between the optimal control and NMPC. The optimal control aims to minimize the cost function over the finite horizon and applies the control input to the system. On the other hand, NMPC employs the state feedback and updates the control input at each time step. At each sampling time, the control design of NMPC is formulated as a two-point boundary-value (TPBV) problem. When the optimal control law is calculated, only the first control input is applied to the controlled system. We employ an iterative steepest descent algorithm to solve the TPBV problem. Numerical results show comparison between the optimal control and NMPC applied to the inverted pendulum.

Active Debris removal using robotic manipulators onboard satellites is a promising way of cleaning up the space junk. However, complexities and non-linearities associated with the control of such coupled space-based systems present difficulties in their feasible implementation. Lack of a fixed base arises serious problems in controlling the space manipulators for precision tasks like capture of an orbiting space debris. This paper presents systematic modelling and control approaches for Rotation floating space robots in order to draw a comparison between them while tracking a moving target representing autonomous debris capture. We propose a nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) for the space robot in order to design an optimal path that the end-effector can follow while being controlled to capture the target. To the best of the knowledge of the authors, such a controller has not been tested for a Rotation floating space robot before. Further, the current work implements and reviews one of the most commonly used Transpose Jacobian Cartesian (TJC) controller for Rotation floating space robots through the use of Generalized Jacobian Matrix (GJM). The results provide sufficient evidence of the superior performance of the nonlinear model predictive controller over the TJC controller. Finally, the current work also implements the same nonlinear model predictive controller on a more popular state of the art Free floating space robot and compares it with the Rotation floating space robot.

Path tracking (PT) controllers capable of replicating race driving techniques, such as drifting beyond the limits of handling, have the potential of enhancing active safety in critical conditions. This paper presents a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) approach that integrates multiple actuation methods, namely four-wheel-steering, longitudinal tyre force distribution, and direct yaw moment control, to execute drifting when this is beneficial for PT in emergency scenarios. Simulation results of challenging manoeuvres, based on an experimentally validated vehicle model, highlight the substantial PT performance improvements brought by: i) vehicle operation outside the envelope enforced by the current generation of stability controllers;and ii) the integrated control of multiple actuators.

In this work-in-progress paper, a currently ongoing development of a generic tool for nonlinear model predictive control is presented. By using an extended interface of FMI 2.0, it is possible to simulate a model that acts as prediction model while the actual system is simulated simultaneously. A trajectory optimization that uses the prediction model provides optimized input control values for the actual system at every sample time. The current work is based on the Optimization library for Dymola and an extended version of FMI 2.0 Co-Simulation. The structure of this approach is explained in detail as well as possible settings and limitations. An example shows the practicability and an outlook for further development is given.

In the operation of a biopower plant, a crucial role is played by the residual oxygen content in the flue gas. The flue gas oxygen content, depending on the total air supply and on the fuel composition, provides the information needed to estimate the power developed by the combustion. Therefore, in control systems that operate power plants, the flue gas oxygen content is directly measured and represents a key feedback variable. The novel nonlinear model predictive control developed is based on the model of the BioPower 5 CHP plant which also includes the nonlinearmodel of the flue gas oxygen content. In addition, the fast response is achieved by regulating primary air flow. To verify the model, experiments were performed at a biopower plant, which utilizes BioGrate combustion technology to enable the use of wet biomass fuels with a moisture content as high as 65%. Then the nonlinear model predictive control was tested in the simulated environment. Finally, the results are presented, analyzed, and discussed.

In this paper we focus on solving a path following problem and keeping a geometrical formation. The problem of formation control is divided into a leader agent subproblem and a follower agent subproblem such that a leader agent follows a given path, while each follower agent tracks a trajectory. estimated by using the leader's information. In this paper, we exploit nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) as a local control law due to its advantages of taking the robot constraints and future information into account. For the leader agent, we propose to explicitly integrate the rate of progression of a virtual vehicle into the local cost function of NMPC. This strategy can overcome stringent in constraints in a path following problem. Our approach was validated by experiments using three omnidirectional mobile robots.
