MULTI-MODEL CONTROL OF MIMO SYSTEMS - LOCATION AND CONTROL ALGORITHMS

This paper presents a multimodel control scheme that depends on the multiple representation of a process using linear models. A dynamic system can be represented by several models, each of which is different in either the simplifications involved, the reductions involved, or the dynamic characteristics. A new tracking multimodel control algorithm for deterministic systems is proposed. An auxiliary input called the 'state correction' is calculated and applied to the models so as to minimize a performance index which is a function of the difference between the process outputs and the model outputs. A simulation study is given to show the potential of the proposed algorithm.
