A robust decentralized model reference adaptive control for non-minimum-phase interconnected systems夽 M. Makoudi* , L.

Abstract In this paper, we present a decentralized model reference adaptive control for interconnected subsystems in the sense that no information exchange occurs between the subsystems. The approach is based on the interconnection output estimation using the polynomial series which o!ers a general solution for interconnected subsystems. The parameter estimation scheme is a combined adaptive data "ltering with a recursive least-squares algorithm with parameter projection and normalization. The problem of minimum phased subsystems is handled by an adaptive input}output data "ltering. Hence the zeros of each subsystem estimated model are relocated inside the unit circle. This estimated model which is minimum phased is then used for the control synthesis. It is shown that the stability conditions based on weak interconnections are relaxed. Also the robustness of the proposed adaptive control against unmodeled dynamics is stated. Finally, the results are illustrated by numerical examples.  1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction In the control of Large-scale systems, one usually faces poor knowledge on the plant parameters and interconnections between subsystems. Thus the adaptive control technique in this case is an appropriate strategy to be employed. Moreover, if some subsystems distribute distantly, it is di$cult for a centralized controller to gather feedback signals from these subsystems. An e!ective way to handle this di$culty is to apply decentralized control strategies whereby each subsystem is controlled independently on the basis of its own performance criterion and locally available information. The majority of the results on Large-scale systems described in input/output form and decentralized control refer to systems that consist of

weakly coupled subsystems (Wen, 1992, 1994; Datta and Ioannou, 1991; Hejda et al., 1990; Ioannou, 1986; Ossman, 1989; Praly and Trulsson, 1986; Reed and Ioannou, 1988). The subsystems may be considered in isolation, and the controllers received for the isolated subsystems may be applied as decentralized controllers to the coupled overall system. However, the information which may be extracted from the interconnections are ignored. No attempt has been made to estimate them in order to improve the control performance and robustness. Here, we present a decentralized model reference adaptive control (DMRAC) for interconnected systems. The main idea is to predict the interconnection outputs acting on each subsystem to relax the hypothesis of weak interconnections. These predictions are used for the synthesis of the local control. The prediction method is based on expressing the interconnection outputs as a linear combination of a set of orthogonal known functions of a basis. Note that the polynomial approach has received much attention in mathematical modeling, identi"cation and control literature (Horng et al., 1986; Lee and Tsay, 1986; Dumont et al., 1985, 1986; James, 1994; Maciej, 1988; Greblicki, 1994; Wei, 1990; Heuberger et al., 1995).

data "ltering with a recursive least-squares algorithm with parameter projection and normalization. The problem of minimum phase of the subsystems plant is handled by an adaptive input output data "ltering. Then the zeros of the estimated subsystem model are relocated inside the unit circle. The obtained minimum-phase models are used in the construction of the controllers. Relaxed constraints on the interconnections are necessary to ensure the global system boundedness. It is also shown that this scheme is robust with respect to unmodeled dynamics. The work is organised as follows: In Section 2, the system is de"ned and all assumptions are outlined. The parameter estimator is described in Section 3. In Section 4, global stability of the indirect adaptive controller is established. In Section 5, two numerical examples are given for illustration.

'* (t!1) is a regression vector and h* denotes a vector G G containing unknown parameters of the nominal subsystem model i.e. '*(t!1)2"[> (t!1)2> (t!ni); (t!di)2 G G G G ; (t!di!mi)], G h*2"[!a 2!a b 2 b ]. G G GLG G GKG Here, the objective is to derive a decentralized control law to stabilize the global system with no information exchange between the subsystems. It is assumed that for each subsystem i, the output < (t) is not available. Thus G we propose that each subsystem predicts these interconnection outputs in real time. The prediction method is based on expressing the interconnection outputs as a linear combination of a set of known functions of a basis.

2. Problem statement 2.1. Functional series modeling The system to be considered consists of N interconnected single-input}single-output (SISO) subsystems described in input/output form by A (q\)> (t)"B (q\); (t) G G G G , # C (q\)> (t!1)#m (t), GH H G H H$G i"1, 2 , N

The polynomials C (q\) are the interconnection inputs GH of > (t) from the other subsystems > (t) with G H C (q\)"c #))) #c q\PGH, (4) GH GH GHPGH di is the time delay index and m (t) represents the unG modeled response of subsystem i. Subsystem (1) can be expressed as > (t)"'*(t!1)2h*#< (t), G G G where , < (t)" C (q\)> (t!1)#m (t), G GH H G H H$G

A (q\), B (q\) and C (q\) are G G GH scalar polynomials in the unit delay operator q\. A (q\)"1#a q\#)))#a q\LG, G G GLG B (q\)"b #)))#b q\KG, b O0. G G GKG G

Let ¹"+1,2, 2 , R, and let S(t)"+s (t), 2 , s (t),2  K be the set of linearly bounded independent sequences (functions of discrete-time t) on T. The elements of S will be further referred to as basis sequences or basis functions. Possible sets of functions that could be used include powers of time s (t)"tH\, j"1, 2 , m (which will H be referred to as the Legendre basis) or

(5)

cos %( j!1)t if j is odd, sin %( j!1)t if j is even

(which is called the Fourier basis). Now we will use the functional modeling of the interconnections. We assume that for subsystem i, the unknown output < (t) may be expanded into a series. G < (t)"M2 (t)S(t)#= (t), (6) G G G where S(t)"[s (t), 2 , s (t)]2, M (t)3RK,  K G = (t) is the residual between the output < (t) and the G G series which may be unbounded. M (t) is a time-varying G vector of unknown elements to be estimated. The vector M (t) is taken to be time varying, to represent more G precisely the interaction term < (t). This modelization is G more adequate than < (t)"M2S(t)#= (t) where M is G G G G a constant vector (see the appendix). By substitution of Eq. (6) into Eq. (1), we obtain A (q\)> (t)"B (q\); (t)#M2(t)S(t)#= (t). (7) G G G G G G Further assumptions concerning the plant are made: A1: An upper bound n* on the orders ni and mi is G known.

M. Makoudi, L. Radouane/Automatica 35 (1999) 1499}1508

A2: The time delays di, i"1, 2 , N are known. A3: There exists a known scalar o 3R> such that G #h*#4o . G G A4: There exists a "nite positive scalar k such that G "= (t)"4k Z (t). G G G Z (t)"p Z (t!1)#max [#' (t!1)#, Z ], G G G G G 0(p (1, Z '0, Z (0)'0. G G G Subsystem (7) can be given the following form: > (t)"'2 (t!1)h (t)#= (t). G G G G The augmented parameter and observation vectors are de"ned by h2 (t)"(!a 2 !a * b 2 b * M2 (t)), (8) G G GLG G GLG G '2(t!1)"(> (t!1)2 > (t!ni*) G G G ; (t!di)2 ; (t!di!ni*)S2(t)). (9) G G Thus the normalizing signal Z (t) depends also on G the interconnection terms through the vector (S(t)) in Eq. (9) and the vector M (t) in the augmented parameter G vector (8). Assumption A4 means that the unmodeled response = (t) (Eq. (7)) should be linearly bounded by the adaptive G input}output data activity measure Z (t), which depends G also on the vector S(t). We remark that the new bound k is less restrictive G then the classical one used in Wen (1992, 1994) and Praly (1986) which is given by "< (t)"4g Z (t), where < (t) is G G G G given by Eq. (5) and Z (t)"p Z(t!1)#max [#'* (t!1)#, Z ], G G G G G 0(p (1, Z '0, Z(0)'0, G G G '*(t!1)2"[> (t!1)2 > (t!ni*) G G G ; (t!di) 2 ; (t!di!ni*)]. G G In the present work, only the residual error = (t) is G constrained to satisfy assumption A4. This is due to the introduction of the term (S(t)) in the observation vector (Eq. (9)) and of the vector M (t) in the parameter vector G (Eq. (8)). The interconnections are thus taken into account by each subsystem. Then the normalizing signal Z (t) depends on local subsystem signals and implicitly G on the interconnection signals also. Therefore this new assumption makes the present work di!erent from the previous ones on the same subject. Assumption A4 is no more restrictive.

Eq. (31) can be regarded as a linear time-varying system having inputs +e (t), and +> (t#di), and outputs GD GKD +; (t), and +> (t),. The terms in square brackets, for GD GD example, [HK .AM !HK AM ], and so on, arise due to the G G? G G? time-varying nature of the parameter estimates and a (t).

If k is equal to zero, then +e (t), conGD G GD verges to zero and > (t) converges to > (t). Then GD GKD > (t) converges to > (t), which establishes the G GK theorem.

6. Conclusion

Appendix

We have proposed a totally decentralized model reference adaptive control (DMRAC) for interconnected subsystems. The general approach is based on the interconnection output estimation using the polynomial series which o!ers a general solution for any class of interconnected subsystems described in input/output form. The parameter estimation scheme is a combined adaptive data "ltering with a recursive least-squares algorithm with parameter projection and normalization. The problem of minimum phase of the subsystems plant is handled by choosing the adaptive data "ltering parameters. Relaxed constraints on the interconnections and unmodeled dynamics are necessary to ensure the global system boundedness. The performance is illustrated by numerical examples.

u (t) and u are the recurrence coe$cients; their values G G depend on the particular discrete polynomials under consideration.

We assume that for subsystem i, the unknown output < (t) may be expanded into a series of order mi as G < (t)"M2S(t)#= M (t) where S(t)"[s (t), 2 , s (t)]2. G G G  KG Now consider the following series with expansion order l: S(t)"[s (t), 2 , st (t)]2 where l'mi. then  < (t)"M2S(t)#= (t) where "= (t)"("= M (t)" and the G G G G G parameter vectors M and M are assumed to be constant. G G Using the recurrence equation (*), we obtain s (t)"u (t)s (t)#u s (t) KG> KG KG KG KG\ and st (t)"ut (t)s (t)#ut s (t), KG KG\ then the expansion of < (t) into series of order l where G M is a constant vector of dimension l is equivalent to an G expansion of order mi where M is a time-varying vector G of dimension mi(l. This explains why a truncated series with time-varying parameters is more adequate to predict the interconnections with su$cient accuracy: < (t)"M2(t)S(t)#= (t).
