Abstract
This paper presents an interior-point method (IPM)
based quadratic programming (QP) solver for the solution of
optimal control problem in linear model predictive control
(MPC). LU factorization is used to solve the system of linear
equations efficiently at each iteration of IPM, which renders
faster execution of QP solver. The controller requires internal
states of the system. To address this issue, a Proportional
Integral Observer (PIO) is designed, which estimates the state
vector, as well as the uncertainties in an integrated manner.
MPC uses the states estimated by PIO, and the effect of
uncertainty is compensated by augmenting MPC with PIO-
estimated uncertainties and external disturbances. The
approach is demonstrated practically by applying MPC to QET
DC servomotor for position control application. The proposed
method is compared with classical control strategy-PID
control.
