HAVOK Model Predictive Control for Time-Delay Systems with Applications to District Heating

원문 초록

A computationally efficient Model-Predictive Control (MPC) approach is proposed for systems with unknown delay using only input/output data. We use the Koopman operator framework and the related Hankel Alternative View of Koopman (HAVOK) algorithm to identify a model in a basis of projected time-delay coordinates and demonstrate a novel MPC structure that reduces and bounds the computational complexity. The proposed HAVOK-MPC approach is validated experimentally on a laboratory-scale District Heating System (DHS), demonstrating excellent prediction and tracking performance while only requiring knowledge of a conservative upper bound on the system delay.
