Its motvaton s smple. If the ontrolled plant exhbts nonlnear behavor, lnear ontroller based on lnearzed model ma often be nable to aheve satsfator performane. On the other hand, ntrns omplext of the nonlnear ontroller based on fll nonlnear model ma prevent t from pratal applaton. PWA model that ses a set of swthed partal lnear models an then represent the mddle wa between smplfatons of the lnearzed model and omplext of the nonlnear model. The paper ses a ase std of a nonlnear power plant boler. It shows that ts omplex nonlnear dnamal behavor an well be approxmated wth a relatvel smple PWA sstem. Unlke one lnearzed model, ths PWA approxmaton fts boler dnam behavor ver well. As the development of model predtve ontrol of the PWA sstems has alread reahed a sbstantal level of matrt, ths PWA model an be sed as a bass for the desgn of hbrd model predtve ontrol for ths boler. Ke-Words: Hbrd sstems, peewse affne sstems, approxmaton of nonlnear sstems Introdton A strong emphass on energ effent prodton and tght emsson ontrol s now mperatve n all branhes of ndstr. Ths fat has an mportant mpat also on the feld of atomat ontrol. Tradtonal ontrol sstems based on lnear ontrol theor are no more able to aheve the level of ontrol performane that s dtated b the ontemporar reqrements. Sne the behavor of almost all tehnal sstems s nonlnear, nonlnear ontrol methods an be expeted to be a more promsng approah. However, the pratal applaton of nonlnear ontrol methods s farl nvolved and as a reslt of t, the nmber of reported sessfl applatons of nonlnear ontrol s lmted. Ths fat s partlarl well domented n the ase of the model predtve ontrol (MPC, whh s the most wdel appled advaned ontrol method. Althogh the omprehensve srve of MPC applatons gven b Qn and Badgwell [] reports some sessfl applatons of the non-lnear MPC, the vast majort of pratal MPC applatons are based on lnear models. Conseqentl ther ahevable performane s lmted. A potentall nterestng alternatve to smplst lnear ontrol and exeedngl omplex nonlnear ontrol s the hbrd model predtve ontrol based on peewse affne (PWA models. It was stated alread b Sonntag n ts semnal paper [7] that more general nonlnear sstems an be globall approxmated arbtrarl losel b PWA sstems. At the same tme PWA sstems are ver smlar to lnear sstems. In fat the onl dfferene between lnear and affne sstems s the presene of a onstant term n state eqatons. Gven the sope of ths onferene manl on sstem theor and smlaton, ths paper wll be not so mh onerned wth the ontrol tself bt t wll manl fos on the ablt of PWA modelng formalsm to desrbe omplex nonlnear behavor and n ths wa to serve as a stable bass for the ontroller desgn. The paper wll se a ase std of a power plant boler that was gven n [5] as a benhmark for nonlnear ontroller desgn. Ths boler s onsderabl nonlnear and ts approxmaton wth a sngle lnear model s learl not satsfator. However, t wll be shown that ts dnams an adeqatel be desrbed wth a PWA model. Ths model an then sbseqentl be sed as a bass for hbrd model predtve ontroller desgn. ISSN: ISBN:

It has an mportant onseqene. The desgn of model predtve ontrol based on PWA models s easer and better developed that relatvel omplated fll nonlnear MPC. Ths the paper shows that hbrd MPC based on PWA models whh was orgnall developed for the ontrol of hbrd sstems an be appled also to plants that do not exhbt hbrd phenomena bt that are desrbed b omplated nonlnear models. Aknowledgement: Ths researh has been spported b the Czeh Sene Fondaton wthn projet /7/7. Fg.5. Comparson of the nonlnear model, PWA model and sngle lnearzed model It an easl be observed from these smlatons that the responses of sngle lnearzed model beome nreasngl nadeqate wth nreasng dstane from the nomnal operatng pont. All responses are almost ndstngshable n Fg. where the npt hanges are small; however the beome qte onsderable n Fgs -5 where the magntdes of npt hanges are hgher. On the other hand, the responses of PWA model are almost dental wth the responses of nonlnear model regardless of the magntdes of the npt hanges. In ths wa, t beomes evdent that PWA modelng s a stable wa to express omplated nonlnear dnams.
