Synthesis of Model Predictive Control for an Electrohydraulic Servo System Using Orthonormal Functions

The paper presents the implementation of a Continuous-Time Model Predictive Control (CMPC) regulator for controlling an electrohydraulic servo system. The control object is a test bench consisting of three modules and a PC-based data acquisition and control system. The system is modeled in state-space form, accounting for parametric uncertainties. The synthesis of the model predictive controller is performed by approximating the control signal using Laguerre orthonormal functions. The article includes mathematical formulas and relationships that illustrate the modeling approach. Simulations and robust analysis of the closed-loop system are conducted. Through a real-time control system, experimental data and graphs are obtained, demonstrating the performance and optimality of the synthesized control strategy.
