Implementation of Dynamic Matrix Control on Field Programmable Gate Array

High performance computer is often required by model predictive control(MPC) systems due to the heavy online computation burden.To extend MPC to more application cases with low-cost computation facilities, the implementation of MPC controller on field programmable gate array(FPGA) system is studied.For the dynamic matrix control(DMC) algorithm,the main design idea and the implemental strategy of DMC controller are introduced based on a FPGA’s embedded system.The performance tests show that both the computation efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed controller can be satisfied due to the parallel computing capability of FPGA.

From the new Austrian tunneling method to the geoengineering condition evaluation and dynamic controlling method

The new Austrian tunneling method （NATM） is widely applied in design and construction of underground engineering projects. When the type and distribution of unfavorable geological bodies （UGBs） associated with their influences on geoengineering are complicated or unfortunately are overlooked, we should pay more attentions to internal features of rocks grades IV and V （even in local but mostly controlling zones）. With increasing attentions to the characteristics, mechanism and influences of engineering construction-triggered geohazards, it is crucial to fully understand the disturbance of these geohazards on project construction. A reasonable determination method in construction procedure, i.e. the shape of working face, the type of engineering support and the choice of feasible procedure, should be considered in order to mitigate the construction-triggered geohazards. Due to their high sensitivity to groundwater and in-situ stress, various UGBs exhibit hysteretic nature and failure modes. To give a complete understanding on the internal causes, the emphasis on advanced comprehensive geological forecasting and overall reinforcement treatment is therefore of more practical significance. Compre- hensive evaluation of influential factors, identification of UGB, and measures of discontinuity dynamic controlling comprises the geoengineering condition evaluation and dynamic controlling method. In a case of a cut slope, the variations of UGBs and the impacts of key environmental factors are presented, where more severe construction-triggered geohazards emerged in construction stage than those predicted in design and field investigation stages. As a result, the weight ratios of different influential factors with respect to field investigation, design and construction are obtained.

Application of Model Predictive Control Based on Kalman Filter in Solar Collector Field of Solar Thermal Power Generation

There are two prominent features in the process of temperature control in solar collector field.Firstly,the dynamic model of solar collector field is nonlinear and complex,which needs to be simplified.Secondly,there are a lot of random and uncontrollable,measurable and unmeasurable disturbances in solar collector field.This paper uses Taylor formula and difference approximation method to design a dynamic matrix predictive control(DMC)by linearizing and discretizing the dynamic model of the solar collector field.In addition,the purpose of controlling the stability of the outlet solar field salt temperature is achieved by adjusting the mass flow of molten salt.In order to further improve the ability of the system to suppress unmeasured disturbances,a steady-state Kalman filter is designed to estimate state variables,so that the system has better stability and robustness.The simulation verification results show that the DMC control system based on Kamlan filtering has better control effect than the traditional DMC control system.In the case of large fluctuations in solar radiation intensity and consideration of undetectable interference,the overshoot of the system is reduced by 4%and the rise time remains unchanged.

Machining Complex Oriented Compensation System for Generalized Kinematic Errors

This paper puts forward a machining complex oriented compensation strategy for the generalized kinematic errors (GKEs). According to this strategy, the error map, which is constructed by using the off line measuring information of the machined workpiece, is not oriented for the machine tool but for the machining complex to compensate the GKEs. The error map is derived by the proposed predictive learning control algorithm (PLCA), which is supported by the information model of machining complex. Experimental results show that the machining complex oriented GKEs compensation strategy and the information model based PLCA is effective.
