RESUMO

In this work, it is presented a contribution to the design of a robust MPC with output feedback, input constraints and uncertain model. This work extends existing approaches by considering a particular non-minimal state space model, which transforms the output feedback strategy into a state feedback strategy. The controller is developed to the case in which the system inputs may become saturated and the model is uncertain. We follow a two stages approach: In the off-line stage, a series of unconstrained robust MPCs is obtained by including in the control optimization problem, inequality constraints that force the state of the closed-loop system to contract along the time. Each of these controllers, represented by a gain matrix, is associated to particular sets of manipulated inputs and controlled outputs. When one manipulated input becomes saturated, we may need to reduce the set of controlled variables. In the existing version of the method, the closed loop system involves a state observer that makes the solution to the robust MPC optimization problem a time consuming step. The problem also requires an initial solution that may not be trivial to find. With the adopted version of the system state space model, the state filter becomes trivial and the state can be considered measured. In the on-line step of the proposed controller design, a sub optimal control law is obtained by combining control configurations that correspond to particular subsets of available manipulated inputs. The method is illustrated with simulation examples of the process industry.
