State space form

We can use the MATLAB function tf 2 ss () to convert the transfer function in (E4-2) to state space form ... 

Until we can substitute numerical values and turn the problem over to a computer, we have to admit that the state space form in (E4-47) is much cleaner to work with. 

In the following we will be mostly concerned with the analysis of linear, stochastic models in the standard state space form ... 

In simplifying the packed bed reactor model, it is advantageous for control system design if the equations can be reduced to lit into the framework of modern multivariable control theory, which usually requires a model expressed as a set of linear first-order ordinary differential equations in the so-called state-space form ... 

Since the orthogonal collocation or OCFE procedure reduces the original model to a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation system, linearization techniques can then be applied to obtain the linear form (72). Once the dynamic equations have been transformed to the standard state-space form and the model parameters estimated, various procedures can be used to design one or more multivariable control schemes. 

Note that in the following analyses, we will drop the prime symbol. It should still be clear that deviation variables are being used. Then this linear representation can easily be separated into the standard state-space form of Eq. (72) for any particular control configuration. Numerical simulation of the behavior of the reactor using this linearized model is significantly simpler than using the full nonlinear model. The first step in the solution is to solve the full, nonlinear model for the steady-state profiles. The steady-state profiles are then used to calculate the matrices A and W. Due to the linearity of the system, an analytical solution of the differential equations is possible ... 

In order to design the controller, the model developed in Sect. 2.5 is conveniently reformulated in a state-space form. The following assumptions on the reactive process and on the reactor are used to derive the state-space form of the model. 

Example 1. Let us consider an example that exemplifies step 3 in the core-box modeling framework. The system to be studied consists of one substance, A, with concentration x = [A]. There are two types of interaction that affect the concentration negatively degradation and diffusion. Both processes are assumed to be irreversible and to follow simple mass action kinetics with rate constants p and P2, respectively. Further, there is a synthesis of A, which increases its concentration. This synthesis is assumed to be independent of x, and its rate is described by the constant parameter p3. Finally, it is possible to measure x, and the measurement noise is denoted d. The system is thus given in state space form by the following equations ... 

The behavior of a nonlinear process can be approximately described by a linear model in the vicinity of a known operating point developed by linearizing the nonlinear model. The nonlinear terms of the model are expanded by using the linear terms of Taylor series and the equations are written in terms of deviations of process variables (the so-called deviation variables) from the operating point to obtain the linear model. The model can then be expressed in state-space form [253]. 

Nevertheless, as discussed previously, the physical model for a crystallizer is an integro-partial differential equation. A common method for converting the population balance model to a state-space representation is the method of moments however, since the moment equations close only for a MSMPR crystallizer with growth rate no more than linearly dependent on size, the usefulness of this method is limited. The method of lines has also been used to cast the population balance in state-space form (Tsuruoka and Randolph 1987), and as mentioned in Section 9.4.1, the blackbox model used by de Wolf et al. (1989) has a state-space structure. 

The poles of the transfer function and the eigenvalues of the equivalent system matrix in the state-space form are the same. The knowledge of poles is linked with stability. A multivariable system is stable if all the poles of the transfer function matrix lie in the left-half (LHP) plane otherwise it is unstable. 

The analog solver calculates the value of all quantities at every moment in time. At every point on the trajectory through the state space formed by the state and time the governing differential equations are satisfied. Equations relate only the current values of quantities and their derivatives and the values of signals. In the following. State contains the values of the signals and quantities at every moment in time. Let sq be the current state at time to. 

The construction and applications of Kalman filters are extensively documented in the literature, and we refer the reader to Harvey (1990), Brockwell and Davis (1996 Chapter 12), and Hamilton (1994 Chapter 13) for a thorough description of this tool. Furthermore, the Kalman filter can be applied to state-space forms that are more general than the one we assume in this paper, and it is widely used in control theory applications.

The term direct bond graph model refers to a bond graph model in preferred integral causality that enables to compute the dynamics of the state x and the output y in terms of the input u and known parameters (see also Section 6.2.1.1). In the case of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system, the model equations are of state space form... 

The effort variables of the mechanical section represent the forces and the effort variables of the piezoelectric transformation represent the relation between the forces, which the sensor is subjected to and the voltage produced because of the piezoelectric effect. These variables in the electrical section represent the distinct voltages at any node in the circuit. Respectively, the flow variables represent the velocities and the currents involved. This approach considers the system as a whole so that the state matrix involves all three sections of the sensor, a mechanical section, a piezoelectric, and an electrical, a complete mechatronics system. CAMPG can obtain the desired transfer functions using the computer-generated state matrices derived in symbolic form. The Laplace transform is applied to the state space form and the transfer functions are obtained in symbolic and also in numeric form for... 

For example, a Bode plot can be generated using the computer-generated transfer function or the A, B, C, D matrices in order to do a frequency response analysis. Root locus, pole placement, and other operations such as controllability and observability using the state space form are possible also using the model produced by the approach presented in this chapter. The result of the above matrix operations can be... 

These are generated in symbolic form and have other uses not related to the type of simulations presented here. This can be used to program real-time simulations with hardware in the loop where the mathematical model of the controlled device is programmed using the state space form of the equations of the physical system, in this case produced by CAMPG in symbolic form. 

The idea here is that using CAMPG we can let the computer derive the differential equations not only in the Cauchy form for time domain simulation, but also in state space form which can be used in SIMULINK either in the time domain or in the frequency domain. Finally CAMPG will produce computer-generated transfer functions which can also be used by SIMULINK for time and frequency domain calculations (Fig. 11.46). 

The model transferred from CAMPG to SIMULINK in the state space form follows the same order of the state space vector as the state variable vector generated in CAMPG and displayed in the campginum file and in the campgnum.m file. The rows of those matrices correspond to the rows of the state variable vector generated in those two files. The state space model in SIMULINK requires two... 

The algorithm with consistent energy dissipation can now be expressed for linear systems including structural damping C. The state space form follows from substitution of the value a, = a into the state-space equations (7). The formulation takes on a particularly compact form when introducing the parameter... 

For static and (structural) dynamic analysis, for determination of eigenfre-quencies and eigenmodes, several different commercial tools exist such as NASTRAN, ABAQUS or ANSYS. Some of them are also able to handle actuators and piezoelectric materials, and also to carry out some types of model reduction techniques. Nevertheless, specific techniques might have to be established by the user via accessing the modal data base. These data are then also used to set up a modal or otherwise condensed state-space representation possibly including specific actuator and sensor models. A description of the transformation of finite-element models from ANSYS to dynamic models in state space form in MATLAB can be found in [20].
