In this paper, we present a block-structured architecture for direct identification of continuous-time Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) state-space models. The proposed architecture consists of an LPV model followed by an integral block. This structure is used to approximate the continuous-time LPV system dynamics. The unknown LPV model matrices are estimated along with the state sequence by minimizing a properly constructed dual-objective criterion. A coordinate-descent algorithm is employed to optimize the desired objective, which alternates between computing the unknown LPV matrices and estimating the state sequence. Thanks to the linear parametric structure induced by the LPV model, the optimization variables within each coordinate-descent step can be updated analytically via ordinary least squares. Furthermore, in order to handle large-size datasets, we discuss how to perform optimization based on short-size subsequences. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated via an academic example and two case studies. The first case study consists of identifying an LPV model describing the behaviour of an electronic bandpass filter from benchmark experimental data. The second case study involves identification of the plasma safety factor from a tokamak plasma simulator.

Abstract

In this paper, we present a block-structured architecture for direct identification of continuous-time Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) state-space models. The proposed architecture consists of an LPV model followed by an integral block. This structure is used to approximate the continuous-time LPV system dynamics. The unknown LPV model matrices are estimated along with the state sequence by minimizing a properly constructed dual-objective criterion. A coordinate-descent algorithm is employed to optimize the desired objective, which alternates between computing the unknown LPV matrices and estimating the state sequence. Thanks to the linear parametric structure induced by the LPV model, the optimization variables within each coordinate-descent step can be updated analytically via ordinary least squares. Furthermore, in order to handle large-size datasets, we discuss how to perform optimization based on short-size subsequences. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated via an academic example and two case studies. The first case study consists of identifying an LPV model describing the behaviour of an electronic bandpass filter from benchmark experimental data. The second case study involves identification of the plasma safety factor from a tokamak plasma simulator.
