Experiment design in identification for control

Objective



System identification deals with the estimation of models of dynamical systems from data measured on these systems. When a nodel-based controller is used, it has recently been observed that significant improvements in performance can be achieved by letting the design of the identification experiment be guided by the control objective. This has given rise to an intense new research activity in "identification for control" at CESAME/UCL, one of the world leaders in this field
The purpose of this project is to propose a sequential design of experiments approach, building on the concepts of dual control, a methodology which leads to an optimal compromise between the antagonistic objectives of regulation and identifi- cation. The main difficulty is the huge computational complexity of the solution. The thesis of C. Kulcsar (1) has led to suboptimal but significantly simpler solu- tions to the dual control problem, and the project aims at linking these solution techniques to identification for control.
