Metodologia para identificação de sistemas em espaço de estados por meio de excitações pulsadas.

Abstract

This work Íntroduces contributions related to thc field of systems identification of state space models. It is proposed a complete methodology for modei estimation that encompasses the main dynamics of industrial processes. The natural flxix of the identification procedures rests on the the empirical collection of data followed by the choice of candidate modela and posterior use ot an adjusting criteria that drafts the best model amoug the contenders. In this sense. a uew methodology is proposed for models estimation in state spaces using pulsed excitation signal. The developed approach combines accurate and efhcient algorithms with quick experíments whose are suitable for the industrial environment. The excitatiou design is performed in real time by means of information collected in a snort mitíai experíment based in an single oscillation of a relay feedback. This mechanism allows a preliminary estimation of both delay and time constant prevalent in the system. The identification method proposed is based on Kalmairs realization theory. The thesis íntroduces a reformulation of the classic realization problem so it can admit pulsed input signals. This approaíth show itself as computationally efficient as well as provides similar results eompared to those obtained when perfonning the benchmark methods. Moreover, the technic allows the transport delay estimation and insertion of prior knowledge by means of an optimization problem with restrictions via linear matrix inequalities restrictions. In many cases only the characteristics of the main system are relevant in control systems design. Therefore a technique for the attainment first order models with time delay based on balanced state space models reduction. Lastly ali the contributions provided aíong the thesis are discussed and validated in a series of pilot scale plants. designed and built to emulate the operational cycle in real industrial plants.
