Real-Time Optimization of Automatic Control Systems With Application to BLDC Motor Test Rig

Abstract

Driven by the increasing demands on production quality, system performance, and the reliability and safety issues of process industry, this paper proposes an integrated process monitoring and control design technique for industrial control systems. The proposed approach is an alternative realization of Youla parameterization which allows the performance of the controlled systems to be improved without modifying or replacing the predesigned control systems, while the closed-loop stability is guaranteed. In addition, a residual signal is available for the fault detection and isolation purpose. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed approach are demonstrated on a brushless direct current motor test rig.
