Enhanced two-loop model predictive control design for linear uncertain systems

Model predictive controllers(MPC)with the two-loop scheme are successful approaches practically and can be classified into two main categories,tube-based MPC and MPCbased reference governors(RG).In this paper,an enhanced twoloop MPC design is proposed for a pre-stabilized system with the bounded uncertainty subject to the input and state constraints.The proposed method offers less conservatism than the tube-based MPC methods by enlarging the restricted input constraint.Contrary to the MPC-based RGs,the investigated method improves tracking performance of the pre-stabilized system while satisfying the constraints.Additionally,the robust global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed in a novel procedure with terminal constraint relaxation.Simulation of the proposed method on a servo system shows its effectiveness in comparison to the others.
