MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF GENERAL FRACTIONAL ORDER SYSTEMS USING A GENERAL PURPOSE OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEM SOLVER, RIOTS

摘要

RIOTS is a Matlab toolbox capable of solving a very general form of integer order optimal control problems. In this paper, we present an approach for implementing Model Predictive Control (MPC) to control a general form of fractional order systems using RIOTS toolbox. This approach is based on time-response-invariant approximation of fractional order system with an integer order model to be used as the internal model in MPC. The implementation of this approach is demonstrated to control a coupled MIMO commensurate fractional order model. Moreover, the performance and its application process is compared to examples reported in the literature.
