Model Predictive Control (MPC) in conjunction with hybrid modeling can be an attractive and systematic methodology to handle these challenging control problems. In this paper, we focus on a mass spring damper system actuated by an electromagnet, which is one of the most common elements in the automotive actuators, with fuel injectors representing a concrete example. We present two designs which are based, respectively, on a linear MPC approach in cascade with a nonlinear state-dependent saturation, and on a hybrid MPC approach. The performance and the complexity of the two MPC controllers are compared. date: 2006 date_type: published publication: 2nd IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems publisher: IFAC pagerange: 241-246 event_dates: Alghero, Italy id_number: 10.3182/20060607-3-IT-3902.00044 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-3-902661-06-7 book_title: 2nd IFAC Conference on Analysis and Design of Hybrid Systems official_url: http://www.ifac-papersonline.net/Detailed/30165.html citation: Di Cairano, Stefano and Bemporad, Alberto and Kolmanovsky, Ilya and Hrovat, Davor Model predictive control of nonlinear mechatronic systems: an application to a magnetically actuated mass spring damper.
