Particle-Swarm-Optimization-Based 2D Output Feedback Robust Constraint Model Predictive Control for Batch Processes

For the input and output constraints and uncertainties in batch processes, a 2D output feedback robust constrained model predictive control (MPC) method is designed by combining iterative learning control (ILC), MPC and output feedback. Firstly, an equivalent 2D-FM closed-loop prediction model is established by combining with the proposed output feedback controller. Then an optimization performance index function with terminal constraint is constructed to study its control optimization. According to the designed optimization performance index and Lyapunov stability theory, the feasible MPC problem is obtained by solving the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). At the same time, the gain of the new output feedback control law is given to ensure that the performance index reaches the minimum upper bound under the constraints of input and output. In order to solve the manual adjustment problem of some parameters in the performance index function, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced, and a better solution is found near the controller by using the search optimization method. Finally, taking the injection molding process as an example and comparing with the existing method without using PSO algorithms, it is proved that the above method is more feasible.
