In this paper, a novel nonlinear model predictive controller (MPC) is proposed based on an identified nonlinear parameter varying (NPV) model. First, an NPV model scheme is present for process identification, which is featured by its nonlinear hybrid Hammerstein model structure and varying model parameters. The hybrid Hammerstein model combines a normalized static artificial neural network with a linear transfer function to identify general nonlinear systems at each fixed working point. Meanwhile, a model interpolating philosophy is utilized to obtain the global model across the whole operation domain. The NPV model considers both the nonlinearity of transition dynamics due to the variation of the working point and the nonlinear mapping from the input to the output at fixed working points. Moreover, under the new NPV framework, the control action is computed via a multistep linearization method aimed for nonlinear optimization problems. In the proposed scheme, only low cost tests are needed for system identification and the controller can achieve better output performance than MPC methods based on linear parameter varying (LPV) models. Numerical examples validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
It is an interesting topic to study decentralized control algorithms for a group of agents to achieve a class of collective circular motion, or called torus. An algorithm was proposed in [1] where no global beacon inf...

Based on photodiode array, an optical measurement system is established for gas-liquid two-phase flow in small tubes. A method is proposed for characterization and flow regime identification of gas-liquid two-phase flow. In the experiment, different flow regimes are observed in a horizontal glass tube with inner diameter of 4.02mm and outer diameter of 6.12mm, and voltage signals are obtained from the 8-element photodiode array through sensing circuits. Probability density function (PDF) and Fourier transform are used for the analysis on signal characteristics of flow regimes. To identify flow regimes, eigenvalues of the statistics are calculated, then the principal component analysis (PCA) is implemented to reduce the dimensionality of data sets, finally support vector machine (SVM) is applied for identification. Experimental results show that the optical system based on photodiode array is effective in the measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flow parameters in small tubes. The proposed method proves effective in characterization and flow regime identification of gas-liquid two-phase flow, and the experimental results are satisfactory.

The feasibility of applying capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C 4 D) technique to void fraction measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flow is investigated. As a preliminary study, this research focuses on the void fraction measurement of stratified flow and includes three parts. First, a C 4 D sensor is developed based on series resonance principle, and a void fraction measurement system of gas-liquid two-phase flow is constructed based on C 4 D technique. Second, simulation analysis is performed to study the performance of the developed C 4 D sensor for void fraction measurement. Third, with the constructed void fraction measurement system, experiments are carried out in the pipe with 15.6mm inner diameter, and the measurement results are compared with the simulation results. Experiment results show that the developed C 4 D sensor is successful and the constructed void fraction measurement system is effective. The monotonicity and the resolution of the developed C 4 D sensor for void fraction measurement are satisfactory. The comparison of the simulation results and the experiment results shows that the practical measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation analysis. This research work verifies that applying C 4 D to void fraction measurement of gas-liquid two-phase flow is feasible (at least, for the void fraction measurement of stratified flow).

In this work, an online optical system for the parameters measurement of the gas-liquid Taylor flow in a 4.0mm-inner-diameter small channel was developed. The presented method was able to measure the bubble velocity, bubble frequency, bubble and slug lengths, and determine the void fraction of the gas-liquid Taylor flow in small channels. A homogeneous flow model was introduced to simplify the analysis and parameter calculation of the gas-liquid Taylor flow. Experimental results showed that the presented optical method was effective and well applied to the online measurement or monitoring the parameters of Taylor flow in small channels. The relative error of the measured bubble velocity and void fraction were less than ±5% and ±10%, respectively.

For the traditional electrical resistance tomography systems, the contact between the electrodes and liquid may result in electrode corrosion, which limits the application of ERT in industry. In this paper, a new electrical resistance tomography system based on capacitively coupled contactless conductivity technique was developed. The conductivity distribution of liquid between electrodes can be measured without direct contact with the liquid. The data acquisition system is designed based on phase-sensitive demodulation method. Experiment results show that the conductivity distribution images can be reconstructed.

This paper discusses the robustness of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) based on sub-optimal solution obtained under reduced precision solution (RPS) criteria. NMPC needs to solve the optimal control problem (OCP) quickly and the input is injected to the controlled plant in time. Traditional convergence criteria in optimization algorithms usually cost excessive long computation time with little improvement of solution, which results in degradation of control performance eventually. RPS criteria are new convergence criteria for deciding whether the current iterate is good enough and whether the optimization procedure should be terminated. It can terminate the optimization process timely. This work pays special attention to robustness of the closed-loop system controlled by NMPC with RPS criteria when model plant mismatch exists. Simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm owns good robustness and stability.
