This paper presents a new grey-box state space model structure for nonlinear systems together with its identification procedure. The model structure is linear in the input and a combination of a linear state space model and a feature space transformation. Because of the first two properties this model structure is interesting for control design. The identification procedure for the model structure assumes that all the state variables can be measured directly or accurately estimated from measurement data. The presented identification method is a combination of well established identification methods for linear and nonlinear black-box identification approaches, respectively linear least squares and neural training. Physical insight is required to first select the appropriate state variables, secondly to select the right type and number of features and finally to reduce the number of parameters and improve the model accuracy. Therefor this modeling can be considered as a grey-box approach. The modeling approach has been applied successfully on a quarter car test setup containing a nonlinear magneto-rheological semi-active damper.

Selection of input variables for model identification of static nonlinear systems
Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems, 1996
System identification can be divided into structure and parameter identification. In most system-identification approaches the structure is presumed and only a parameter identification is performed to obtain the coefficients in the functional system. Yet, often there is little knowledge about the system structure. In such cases, the first step has to be the identification of the decisive input variables. In this paper a black-box input variable identification approach using feedforward neural networks is proposed.

Control of nonlinear systems using multiple model black-box identification?

The paper is devoted to development of control algorithms for nonlinear parametrically uncertain systems. Original system dynamics is approximated by a set of local NARX models combined by a special mixing rule. Algorithm for local models' parameters estimation and structure adjustment has been developed. Proposed approach allows straightforward designing of the combined feedforward/feedback controller.
Systems containing linear first-order dynamics and static nonlinear elements (i.e., nonlinear elements whose outputs depend only on the present value of inputs) are often encountered; for example, certain automobile engine subsystems. Therefore, system identification of static nonlinear elements becomes a crucial component that underpins the success of the overall identification of such dynamical systems. In relation to identifying such systems, we are often required to identify models in differential equation form, and consequently, we are required to describe static nonlinear elements in the form of functions in time domain. Identification of such functions describing static elements is often a black-box identification exercise; although the inputs and outputs are known, correct mathematical models describing the static nonlinear elements may be unknown. Therefore, with the aim of obtaining computationally efficient models, calibrating polynomial models for such static elements is often...
Identification of State-space Linear Parameter-varying Models Using Artificial Neural Networks
IFAC-PapersOnLine, 2020
This paper presents an integrated structure of artificial neural networks, named state integrated matrix estimation (SIME), for linear parameter-varying (LPV) model identification. The proposed method simultaneously estimates states and explores structural dependency of matrix functions of a representative LPV model only using inputs/outputs data. The case with unknown (unmeasurable) states is circumvented by SIME using two estimators of the same state: one estimator represented by an ANN and the other obtained by LPV model equations. Minimizing the difference between these two estimators, as part of the cost function, is used to guarantee their consistency. The results from a complex nonlinear system, namely a reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) engine, show high accuracy of the state-space LPV models obtained using the proposed SIME while requiring minimal hyperparameters tuning.

This paper addresses the identification and control of nonlinear systems by means of Fuzzy Hammerstein (FH) models, which consist of a static fuzzy model connected in series with a linear dynamic model. For the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems with the proposed FH models, two methods are proposed. The first one is an alternating optimization algorithm that iteratively refines the estimate of the linear dynamics and the parameters of the static fuzzy model. The second method estimates the parameters of the nonlinear static model and of the linear dynamic model simultaneously by using a constrained recursive least-squares algorithm. The obtained FH model is incorporated in a model-based predictive control scheme and a new constraint-handling method is presented. A simulated water-heater process is used as an illustrative example. A comparison with an affine neural network and a linear model is given. Simulation results show that the proposed FH modeling approach is useful for modular parsimonious modeling and model-based control of nonlinear systems.
