Finite-Time Computation of Polyhedral Input-Saturated Output-Admissible Sets
Yaashia Gautam, Marco M. Nicotra
The paper introduces a novel algorithm for computing the output admissible set of linear discrete-time systems subject to input saturation. The proposed method takes advantage of t…
Attitude Trajectory Optimization and Momentum Conservation with Control Moment Gyroscopes
Thomas L. Dearing, John Hauser, Christopher Petersen +2
In this work, we develop a numerically tractable trajectory optimization problem for rest-to-rest attitude transfers with CMG-driven spacecraft. First, we adapt a specialized dynam…
Constrained Power Reference Control for Wind Turbines
Daniel S. Zalkind, Marco M. Nicotra, Lucy Y. Pao
The cost of wind energy can be reduced by controlling the power reference of a turbine to increase energy capture, while maintaining load and generator speed constraints. We apply…
An Analysis of Closed-Loop Stability for Linear Model Predictive Control Based on Time-Distributed Optimization
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Terrence Skibik, Jordan Leung +2
Time-distributed Optimization (TDO) is an approach for reducing the computational burden of Model Predictive Control (MPC). When using TDO, optimization iterations are distributed…
Sensitivity-based Warmstarting for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control with Polyhedral State and Control Constraints
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Marco M. Nicotra, Asen L. Dontchev +2
Model predictive control (MPC) is of increasing interest in applications for constrained control of multivariable systems. However, one of the major obstacles to its broader use is…
Time Distributed Optimization for Model Predictive Control: Stability, Robustness, and Constraint Satisfaction
Dominic Liao-McPherson, Marco Nicotra, Ilya Kolmanovsky
Time distributed optimization is an implementation strategy that can significantly reduce the computational burden of model predictive control by exploiting its robustness to incom…
