Constrained Model Predictive Control Based on Event Triggering for the Rare Earth Extraction Process.

Abstract

Since the reagent dosage is manually adjusted according to work conditions, an event-triggered constrained model predictive control is proposed for rare earth extraction. First, the linear predictive system, based on a state space model, is established. Subsequently, the feedback correction link is fine-tuned to reduce the prediction error. Following this, an objective optimization function, incorporating input and output constraints, is introduced to calculate the appropriate reagent dosage. Finally, an event-triggering mechanism, underpinned by a designated threshold, is designed to update the controller. Simulation outcomes substantiate the efficacy of the proposed approach.
