A new generalized predictive control algorithm for a kind of input-output bilinear system is proposed in the paper (BGPC). The algorithm combines bilinear and linear terms of I/O bilinear system, and constitutes an ARIMA model analogous to linear systems. Using optimization predictive information fully, the algorithm carries out multi-step predictions by recursive approximation. The heavy computation of generic nonlinear optimization is avoided with control law of analytical form being used to the non-minimum phase bilinear systems. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm and the performance of the algorithm is better than linear generalized predictive control (LGPC). Key words: bilinear systems; bilinear generalized predictive control (BGPC); recursive approaches; non-minimum phase systems; analytical control laws
The ball and plate system is a system, where a metal ball stays on a rigid square plate with each side length of 1m. The slope of the plate can be manipulated by two perpendicularly installed step motors, so that the tilting of the plate will make the ball moving.
