Abstract

A new data-driven predictive control method based on subspace identification for continuous-time linear parameter varying (LPV) systems is presented in this paper. It is developed by reformulating the continuous-time LPV system which utilizes Laguerre filters to obtain the subspace prediction of output. The subspace predictors are derived by QR decomposition of input-output and Laguerre matrices obtained by input-output data. The predictors are then applied to design the model predictive controller. It is shown that the integrated action is incorporated in the control effect to eliminate the steady-state offset. We control the continuous-time LPV systems to obtain the attractive performance with the proposed data-driven predictive control method. The proposed controller is applied to a wind turbine to verify its effectiveness and feasibility.
