Data-Driven Predictive Control for Continuous-Time Industrial Processes with Completely Unknown Dynamics (2012.03452v1)

Abstract: This paper investigates the data-driven predictive control problems for a class of continuous-time industrial processes with completely unknown dynamics. The proposed approach employs the data-driven technique to get the system matrices online, using input-output measurements. Then, a model-free predictive control approach is designed to implement the receding-horizon optimization and realize the reference tracking. Feasibility of the proposed algorithm and stability of the closed-loop control systems are analyzed, respectively. Finally, a simulation example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
