Stochastic Model Predictive Control for Linear Systems with Unbounded Additive Uncertainties

원문 초록

This paper presents two stochastic model predictive control methods for linear time-invariant systems subject to unbounded additive uncertainties. The new methods are developed by formulating the chance constraints into deterministic form, which are treated in analogy with robust constraints, by using the probabilistic reachable set. Firstly, the probabilistically resolvable time-varying tube-based stochastic model predictive control algorithm is designed by employing the time-varying probabilistic reachable sets as the tubes. Secondly, by utilizing the probabilistic positively invariant set, the probabilistically resolvable constant tube-based stochastic model predictive control algorithm is developed by employing the constantly tightened constraints in the entire prediction horizons. In addition, to enhance the feasibility of the algorithms, the soft constraints are imposed to the state initializations. The algorithm feasibility and closed-loop stability results are provided. The efficacy of the approaches are demonstrated by means of numerical simulations.
