MPC is a model-based finite time domain (or infinite time domain) open loop optimal control algorithm that essentially uses a process model to predict future states or outputs, and at each sampling instant, the controller takes the system state at the current instant as the initial state, and takes control action by minimizing the difference between the future outputs and the reference trajectory (open loop optimization problem), optimizing to produce a control input sequence, wherein the first component is to be executed and the other components are to be discarded.
Furthermore, a constrained dynamic matrix model (Quadratic Dynamic Matrix Control, QDMC) MPC strategy is selected, and a step response non-parameter model which is easy to obtain in the actual industry is adopted, so that a method for systematically solving input and output constraints is provided, and the variables can be ensured to meet constraint conditions in a certain prediction time domain. The specific calculation method is as follows:
(1) according to MPC theory, considering measurable interference factor, the unit step response model of MIMO system is

y(k)=CY(k)
y c (k)=C c y(k)
y m (k)=C m y(k)
Wherein Δu (k) =u (k) -u (k-1), Δd (k) =d (k) -d (k-1), where Y (k) is the state variable, u (k) is the control input variable, Y (k) is the output variable, Y c (k) Is the controlled output variable, y m (k) Is a measured output variable and d (k) is an external disturbance variable that can be measured. Setting the sampling step number required by the system to enter a steady state as N, then the initial condition Y (0) of the response model equation is an N-dimensional column vector, and the system matrix M ss Is an N-dimensional square matrix, S u And S is d A matrix of unit step response coefficients controlling input u and measurable disturbance d to output y, respectively. The advanced control system which is developed at this time and can be used for automatic adjustment of the submerged arc furnace electrode based on model prediction control aims at the situation that three electrodes are selected, the single-phase transformer gear is used as an output variable y (k), the electrode voltage, the electrode current and the electrode power are used as control input variables u (k), and the furnace bottom temperature, the flue gas temperature, the oxygen content in the flue gas, the hydrogen content in the flue gas and the like are selected as external disturbance variables d (k) which can be measured. Coarse adjustment is achieved through gear shifting of the single-phase transformer, fine adjustment is achieved through electrode position lifting, electrode automatic control and adjustment are achieved in the actual stable production process in a mode of fine adjustment of electrode position lifting, and three-phase electric parameter balance is strived for in the adjustment process.
(2) Marking the output constraint on the output variable y (k) as y b (k) Simultaneously control and restrict the control quantity and the control increment, y min (k)≤y b (k)≤y max (k),u min (k)≤u(k)≤u max (k),Δu min (k)≤Δu(k)≤Δu max (k) A. The application relates to a method for producing a fibre-reinforced plastic composite Setting the position points of 3% and 97% of the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder according to the lifting driving of each electrode as the lower limit and the upper limit of the electrode position; setting the upper limit of unbalance of the three electrodes to 20% by taking the average value of the positions of the three electrodes as a reference, setting the value of unbalance to 0 when the position values of the three electrodes are completely equal, and setting the lower limit; the upper limit of the single adjustment quantity of the positions of the three electrodes is set to be 10mm, and the lower limit is not set; setting the lower limit and the upper limit of the gear of the single-phase transformer according to the gear configuration of the secondary side of the single-phase transformer, and only adjusting the gear within the gear protection limit without adjusting the gear to the boundary when the gear is the lowest gear and the highest gear; setting the maximum gear difference of three single-phase transformers as 2 gears, selecting a strategy that the gears of the three single-phase transformers are lifted and lowered simultaneously in the actual adjustment process, and selecting an adjustment strategy with the gear difference only when the furnace condition is unstable; the upper limit of the single adjustment quantity of the three single-phase transformers is set to be 1 grade, and the lower limit is not set; rated current by secondary side of single-phase transformerThe multiple value is used as the upper limit of the electrode current, 30% of the rated current is set as the lower limit of the electrode current, the electrode breakage is judged, and the program control is carried out, and the automatic adjustment of the MPC electrode is changed to the manual operation of the process; setting the upper limit of the current unbalance of the three electrodes to be 2% by taking the current average value of the three electrodes as a reference, setting the unbalance value to be 0 when the current values of the three electrodes are completely equal, and setting the lower limit; rated voltage of secondary side of single-phase transformer>The multiple value is used as the upper limit of the electrode voltage, 70% of the rated voltage is set as the lower limit of the electrode voltage, abnormal conditions occur in the production process of the submerged arc furnace, and the program control is carried out, so that the automatic adjustment of the MPC electrode is changed to the manual operation of the process; setting the upper limit of the voltage unbalance of the three electrodes to be 5% by taking the average value of the voltages of the three electrodes as a reference, setting the value of the unbalance to be 0 when the voltage values of the three electrodes are completely equal, and setting the lower limit; taking the 120% multiple value of the rated power of the secondary side of the single-phase transformer as the upper limit of the electrode power,setting the lower limit is not performed; setting the upper limit of the power unbalance of the three electrodes to 7% by taking the average power value of the three electrodes as a reference, setting the unbalance value to 0 when the power values of the three electrodes are completely equal, and setting the lower limit; the upper limits of the furnace bottom temperature and the flue gas temperature are respectively set to 500 ℃ and 800 ℃, and the lower limit is not set; the upper limit of the oxygen content in the flue gas and the upper limit of the hydrogen content in the flue gas are respectively set to 0.5% and 8%, and the lower limit is not set.
(3) Aiming at the optimization problem of QDMC at the moment k, given an expected track R (k+1), the objective function is obtained through formula derivation
J(y m (k),ΔU(k))=||Γ y (Y c (k+1)k)-R(k+1)|| 2 +||Γ u ΔU(k)|| 2 Wherein Γ y And Γ u Is a given weighting matrix.
(4) Designing observer equations
Wherein K is F Calculation by Kalman filtering method to make M ss -K F C m C is nominally asymptotically stable and poles can be arbitrarily configured.
(5) Due to the objective function J (y m (k) Δu (k)) is quadratic and the time-domain constraints are linear, so solving the constraint problem is a quadratic programming (Quadratic programming, QP) problem. Setting z=Δu (k) is an independent variable of optimization and definesThen the objective function becomes through the publicity derivation
J=||Γ y (S u ΔU(k)-E p (k+1)|k)|| 2 +||Γ u ΔU(k)|| 2
The method is developed to remove the independent variable delta U (k), and the objective function is equivalent to
Wherein,,
(6) the optimization problem of QDMC, which performs control constraint on output variables, control amounts and control increments, is converted into the following QP problem description through formula deduction:
easily known type of middle partThe QP problem is therefore applied to any weighting matrix Γ y ≥0,Γ u All have solution marks of delta U equal to or greater than 0 * (k) Obviously DeltaU * (k) Is the measured value y m (k) The functions in the control and prediction domains are generally nonlinear.
(7) According to the basic principle of predictive control, the first step of the obtained open loop sequence will act on the controlled system, and at the next sampling instant the constraint optimization QP problem will be refreshed with new measurements and the DeltaU will be solved again * (k) Then the closed-loop control law of the constraint QDMC is
Δu(k)=[I nu×nu 0…0]ΔU * (k)
(8) Finally, the control quantity u (k) =u (k-1) +deltau (k) acts on the system to complete the control of the step.
In the practical application process, the flow of the dynamic matrix control of the QDMC with the time domain constraint, which is implemented in the model prediction control unit (105), is shown in fig. 2, and the execution steps of the flow are as follows:
s0. according to a unit step response model of the multi-input multi-output MIMO system in the MPC control theory, initializing by referring to the output, the control quantity and the control increment constraint conditions: m, S u ,S d ,K F ,H,Γ yu …, etc.;
s1, feeding in electrode operation production experience and historical operation data of a submerged arc furnace process staffPerforming line analysis and refinement, giving a desired track R (k+1), and obtaining a measured value y m (k),d(k);
S2, estimating the output state, namely calculating according to an observer equation
S3, calculating E according to each coefficient matrix p (k+1|k),G(k+1|k),b(k+1|k);
S4, carrying out QP problem solving on the objective function by utilizing constraint conditions of output, control quantity and control increment to obtain delta U * (k);
S5, calculating delta U * (k) The first step of the correlation open loop sequence, the control increment Δu (k) = [ I ] nu×nu 0…0]ΔU * (k);
S6, enabling a control quantity u (k) =u (k-1) +delta u (k) to act on a control system, and jumping to S1 for circular execution after the output adjustment of the period is completed;
the QDMC adopts a linear step response coefficient model, which makes the QDMC algorithm only suitable for asymptotically stable objects and first-order integral objects, and for unstable objects, PID control is generally adopted in a central processing unit (103) to calm the unstable objects, then the set value of PID is used as a manipulated variable of the QDMC, and a PID loop is used as a controlled process of the QDMC. Depending on MPC control theory, the model used by MPC only contains accurate low frequency information, and the control problem of high frequency part can be completed by PID control of the bottom central processing unit (103). Therefore, setting the execution period of MPC steady-state target calculation and dynamic optimization to be 1 minute; in the control system of the bottom central processing unit (103), a discrete PID regulating function block is selected for gear shifting of the single-phase transformer, a continuous PID regulating function block is selected for electrode position lifting, and the program execution period of the two function blocks is set to be 1 second.
Although the nonlinearity of the submerged arc furnace process production process is absolute, most large-scale production processes have the characteristics of continuity and stability, so that the steady state and dynamic characteristics of the process in a certain interval near an operating point show a relatively consistent linear relationship, and the corresponding model can relatively accurately represent the input-output relationship of the process, so that the steady state target calculation has a relatively good application effect. As the most effective means of multivariable control, MPC functions to maintain the multivariable control system at the optimal operating point, i.e., to quickly revert the system back to the optimal operating point when disturbances occur. Operating near the optimal operating point, the characteristics reflected by the controlled system are linear, and the purpose of effectively controlling the system can be achieved by using the linear multivariable system model.
