| Popis: | Data-driven modeling and control of temperature dynamics in mechatronics systems and industrial processes are challenging control engineering problems. This is mainly because the temperature dynamics is inherently infinite-dimensional, nonlinear, spatially distributed, and coupled with other physical processes. Furthermore, the dominant time constants are usually long, implying that in practice due to various economic and time constraints, we can only collect a relatively small number of data samples that can be used for data-driven modeling. Finally, since sensing and actuation of temperature dynamics are often spatially discrete, special attention needs to be given to sensor (actuator) placement and identifiability problems. Motivated by these challenges, in this manuscript, we consider the problem of data-driven modeling and validation of temperature dynamics. We have developed an experimental setup consisting of a long aluminum bar whose temperature dynamics is influenced by spatially distributed heat actuators and whose temperature is sensed by spatially distributed thermocouples. We address the noise reduction problem and perform step response and nonlinearity analyses. We combine predictor based subspace identification methods with time series analysis methods to identify a multiple-input multiple-output system model. We provide detailed treatments of model structure selection, validation, and residual analysis problems under different modeling and prediction scenarios. Our extensive experimental results show that the temperature dynamics of the experimental setup can be relatively accurately estimated by low-order models. Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures |
