Magnetic levitation process

Abstract

In this chapter, we will illustrate the synthesis and experimental results of the MPC-reference governor (MPC-RG) strategy as described in Sect. 4.2. The MPC-RG optimization problem will be solved parametrically and implemented in a real-time fashion on a microchip with limited computational and memory resources. The viability of the MPC-RG strategy is tested on a laboratory process of a magnetically suspended ball. This section describes the mathematical modeling of the magnetically suspended ball. Here, we also present the primary stabilizing PID controller and the state space model closed-loop system. Second, we introduce the laboratory device and experimental setup.
