LMI-Based Robust Fuzzy Model Predictive Control of Discrete-Time Fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno Large-Scale Systems Based on Hierarchical Optimization and H∞ Performance.

This paper studies robust fuzzy model predictive control of discrete-time fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno large-scale systems based on hierarchical optimization and H_ ∞ Performance. The considered system in this paper is a large-scale system. So, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy approach which uses nonlinear local models is applied to estimate the nonlinear system to reduce the burden of modeling. The model predictive control (MPC) is a practical application that is useful for all systems but the problem is the online computational cost. For large-scale systems, this problem is the online computational burden. Besides, it leads to conservative or even no solution. By the proposed method, more relaxed solutions are achieved. First, the T-S system with nonlinear local models is adopted. Second, the hierarchical optimization scheme is considered for the optimization part of the MPC. Third, by inspiring the H ∞ performance, uncertainties and disturbances that are appeared are reduced. Moreover, the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are used to solve the proposed method that the computational burden significantly is reduced at the same time. Simulation results are finally presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
