A delay-range-dependent robust constrained model predictive control is proposed for discrete-time system with uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The dynamic characteristic of the discrete-time system is established as a new extended state space model in which state variables and output tracking error are integrated and regulated independently. It is used as the design of control law of system, which cannot only guarantee the convergence and tracking performance but also offer more degrees of freedom for designed controller. Unlike the traditional robust model predictive control (RMPC), the novel, less conservative, and more simplified delay-range-dependent stable conditions are derived by linear matrix inequality (LMI) theory and some relaxed technologies, which make use of the information of the upper and lower bounds of the time-varying delay. Meanwhile, the H∞ performance index is introduced in the RMPC controller design, which can reject any unknown bounded disturbances. As a result, the design controller has better abilities of both tracking and disturbance rejection. The control results on the liquid level of tank system show that the proposed control method is effective and feasible.

This paper proposes a model predictive control of open irrigation canals with constraints. The Saint-Venant equations are widely used in hydraulics to model an open canal. As a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations, they are not solved explicitly and difficult to design optimal control algorithms. In this work, a prediction model of an open canal is developed by discretizing the Saint-Venant equations in both space and time. Based on the prediction model, a constrained model predictive control was firstly investigated for the case of one single-pool canal and then generalized to the case of a cascaded canal with multipools. The hydraulic software SICC was used to simulate the canal and test the algorithms with application to a real-world irrigation canal of Yehe irrigation area located in Hebei province.
