I recently try to control my TCLab Arduino through a state space model. I refer to State Space Models and transform a first order linear system (without time delay) into state space form, the control effect is pretty good. Now I want to use first order plus dead time model to control the lab, but I don't know how to transform FOPDT model into state space form. How to add time delay in state space model?
Here is the code:
import tclab
import numpy as np
import time
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from gekko import GEKKO
import json
# Connect to Arduino
# a = tclab.TCLab()
a = tclab.TCLabModel()
# Run time in minutes
run_time = 60.0
# Number of cycles
loops = int(60.0*run_time)
tm = np.zeros(loops)
# Temperature (K)
T1 = np.ones(loops) * a.T1 # temperature (degC)
Tsp1 = np.ones(loops) * 40.0 # set point (degC)
# heater values
Q1s = np.ones(loops) * 0.0
Q1_ss = 0

Use the delay
function in Gekko to add time delay. Here is an example. To add it to a state space model you can either delay the input mv
or output cv
. Here is the state space model with the delay on the output.
# state space simulation
m = GEKKO(remote=False)
x,y,u = m.state_space(Am,Bm,Cm,D=None)
mv = u[0]
cv_in = y[0]
cv = m.CV()
m.delay(cv_in,cv,4) # delay of 4 steps (8 sec)
