Description

Variable structural nonlinear model predictor controller
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of to continuous change procedure or equipment, particularly, carry out strategy, method and the variable structural nonlinear model predictor controller of Advanced Control (Advanced Control) to the continuous flow procedure of existing dcs (DCS) and the PID controller that comprises thereof.
Background technology
Because PID (ratio, integration, differential) controller is comparatively simple and practical, since last century the forties, in the production run widespread use it control automatically.Along with producing and science and technology development, the frequent variations of the especially production-scale continuous expansion and the market demand,, multivariate big to time lag, constraint is arranged, become the production run of structure, PID control is difficult to satisfy steadily control and the multivariate constraint is coordinated and the control requirement of change structure.
The model pre-estimating control (MPC) that later stage nineteen seventies occurs, utilize the controlled process dynamic mathematical models, state to controlled process future is estimated, and carry out optimum control according to this, for time lag big multivariable process a kind of effective control method is provided, as MAC, DMC, GPC, SFPC, or the like, corresponding commercially available software has also appearred, as IDCOM, DMC-Plus (Aspen Inc.), RMPCT-PROFIT (Honeywell Inc.), STAR (Invensys), VSUPCC, or the like, since the eighties in last century, obtained successful application in process of production.In application process, handling developed and improvement aspect constraint and the multivariate coordination, make MPC obtain more and more widely application.
Practical application has exposed some weakness of MPC: it is relatively poor that the first suppresses to survey interference capability, even do not control as PID.It two is the variation that is difficult to adapt to production run (non-linear and become structure).It three is for obtaining model, carrying out bigger interference to production.This is because most of MPC uses by the linearization dynamic number immunologing mathematics model of surveying the foundation of controlled process inputoutput data, adopts many-valued estimate, handle multivariate coordination, state and output variable constraint, it is comparatively complicated that the model online in real time is calculated, control cycle long (30-60 second, and the control cycle of PID is 0.5-1 second), the measured state variable information that can not utilize controlled process to provide again.Only based on the VSUPCC software of Chinese patent " 99105546.2 universal multi-variable quantity model pre-estimating coordinating control method ", employing is based on the state-space model of Analysis on Mechanism, need not disturb the test of production, can introduce the state variable feedback, improve and suppress interference capability, and adopt monodrome to estimate strategy, keeping under the identical control effect, online in real time is calculated greatly to be simplified, realized the multicycle control of control cycle 5-60 between second, improve the control effect, can better handle multivariate coordination problem.But it is also the same with other MPC, all be based on inearized model, and actual controlled process or equipment are nonlinear often, especially product demand difference, raw material variation, load variations, environmental change, or the like under the situation, making controlled process is to become structure and nonlinear, promptly needs to change with possible controlled variable quantity and applicable performance variable quantity; The accurate description of controlled process or equipment is non-linear, is difficult to obtain the control effect of satisfaction based on the MPC of inearized model.
Since the last century the eighties, many relevant research papers that utilize nonlinear model to carry out Prediction Control (NLMPC) have appearred, proposed on the linearization basis, to add non-linear correction, gain planning, multi-model, local adopt nonlinear model calculate, or the like still based on the algorithm of inearized model.Some algorithms based on nonlinear model have also appearred.The commercially available software of some nonlinear model predictors controls has appearred in the last century end and the beginning of this century, as the Pavilion of NOVA-NLC, the PAVILION of APOLLO, the PAS of Aspen, or the like.Because nonlinear model can not be used superposition principle, general no analytic solution, control strategy adopts and many-valuedly to estimate, state constraint, add that controlled process is multivariable, make calculating quite complicated, these softwares all will be made some approximate processing, and effect is restricted, and also do not have clear and definite solution to become the method for structure problem.

5. provide the information that controlled variable does not have performance variable, can be by the order of setting, (but in no performance variable time spent) withdraws from advanced control automatically, or (after having the available action variable again) recovers advanced control automatically.
6. the constrained optimization of controlled variable-performance variable and coordination
1. the constrained optimization of controlled variable: when requiring certain controlled variable to reach given optimization range, provide the information that related variable does not transfinite by " 1. online in real time configuration device " (see figure 1), by " 4. controlled variable constrained optimization device " (see figure 1) with the set-point of the controlled variable given optimal value of tuning progressively.In case forecast has variable to transfinite or reaches given optimization range, tuning stops at once.When not carrying out tuning, if related variable forecast transfinites, and when not having other means, can adjust the set-point of optimised controlled variable, related variable is not transfinited.Characteristics of the present invention are to be provided with to optimize the zone, in the time of in controlled variable reaches the optimization zone, promptly no longer adjust, and prevent vibration.
2. the unsteady coordination of controlled variable:
The controlled variable set-point can float with other variable by following two kinds of methods:
● proportional unsteady with the unsteady correlated variables of other controlled variable:
&Delta; SP fcv ( k ) = &Sigma; j = 1 N r &mu; j &Delta; R j ( k - &tau; j ) - - - ( 9 )
Wherein: μ j=CV float related coefficient (j=1 ..., Nr)
Δ SP Fcv(k)=SP Fcv(k)-SP Fcv(k-1) SP Fcv(k) be the current set-point of CV that floats
if:[R j(k)>R j.hlm]or[R j(k)<R j,llm]or[R j,llm=R j,hlm]
ΔR j(k)=R j(k)-R j(k-1)
else?if:[R j,hlm>R j(k)>R j,llm]ΔR j(k)=0
R j(k)=and the relevant variable currency that floats of a j CV, τ j=retardation time
N r=CV correlated variables the number of floating
R J, hlm, R J, llmBe respectively the bound of the unsteady correlated variables of CV
When needs float, remain unchanged behind the controlled variable set-point tracking measurement value certain hour.
3. the constrained optimization of performance variable: provide the performance variable that those need and may (do not need use as controlled variable control, non-fault, permission performance variable) optimization by " 1. online in real time configuration device ", according to the priority orders that the performance variable of setting is optimized, push performance variable to the optimal value (see figure 1) step by step by " 5. performance variable constrained optimization device " seriatim.Its method one is: change progressively that PID is given to make it move towards to optimize the zone, method two is to keep that PID is given to have certain deviation with measured value, makes PID output move towards to optimize regional.
7. control action is exported " the 3. performance variable output processor " among processing-Fig. 1, has following function:
1. the conversion of model pre-estimating control action output: except that bound and the constraint of speed limit, during practical application, often with the controller of PID controller or two PID series connection as carrying out link, the present invention can be provided with and keep and do not keep two kinds of selections of PID closed-loop control.When not keeping the PID closed loop, the present invention provides and does not keep closed-loop control, allows to adjust pid parameter and impregnable transfer algorithm:
&Delta;MV ( k ) = 1 K pid [ &Delta;U ( k ) + PV ( k ) - PV ( k - 1 ) ] - - - ( 10 )
Δ U (k)=model pre-estimating calculates the adjustment amount of gained control action current time
Actual MV (PID the is given) adjustment amount of Δ MV (k)=current time
K PidThe enlargement factor of=PID controller
PV (k), the controlled variable of PV (k-1)=current and last control PID control constantly
SP(k)=SP(k-1)+ΔMV(k)
Wherein: SP (k)=current time PID controller set-point (11)
The two-way unperturbed of 2. advanced control and conventional PID control system switches: no matter switch to advanced control from conventional PID, or switch to conventional PID control (containing the automatic switchover of barrier for some reason or other reasons) by advanced person control, all keep the set-point of PID controller constant during switching.
3. output keeps: when the corresponding PID of performance variable (PID is given) institute not as the performance variable of current model pre-estimating control, and need remain on the certain numerical value, be called the output maintenance.
First kind of situation: because of performance variable and correlated variables reaches the upper limit or lower limit can not use as performance variable, but will keep performance variable and crucial directly related with performance variable variable thereof on bound, not continuing transfinites, and prevents the integration saturated phenomenon of PID; Or when performance variable and the crucial variable directly related with performance variable transfinite the adjustment limit value, still performance variable to be remained on the new bound.The present invention provides following algorithm (being limited to example on super):
If:[MV can not be to raising]
if{[OP(k)>(OP hlm+BL)]and?abs[SP(k-1)-PV(k)]≤2δ}
MV(k)=PV(k)-δ[OP(k)-(OP hlm+BL)]; (12)
else?MV(k)=SP(k-1)-δ;
SP(k)=MV(k);
Wherein: SP (k), PV (k) are respectively set-point and the measured values of (as performance variable) PID;
OP (k), OP Hlm(it is directly related to be called the key operation variable for the output of=PID controller
Variable) and limit value;
BL〉0, δ〉0 be respectively can online adjustment parameter.
Second kind of situation: variable does not transfinite, but is not selected as model pre-estimating control operation variable, and pid control circuit that neither the constrained optimization variable needs to keep PID output (variable valve) constant.The invention provides following two kinds of disposal routes:
● the given tracker measured value of PID controller;
● be changed to " condition " controlled variable;
4. to electing the performance variable of constrained optimization as, press the constrained optimization rule and adjust performance variable.
The controller that constitutes by the present invention is called VSNMPC, and its theory diagram is seen Fig. 1.
