不依赖天气预报,用迭代学习优化太阳能船的持久航行速度。

Fusion of Indirect Methods and Iterative Learning for Persistent Velocity Trajectory Optimization of a Sustainably Powered Autonomous Surface Vessel

  • 结合间接法与迭代学习,设计闭环控制策略。
  • 仿真显示性能接近需未来预报的模型预测控制。
  • 适合长期运行的太阳能无人艇,计算开销小。

本文提出一种实时速度轨迹优化方法,用于太阳能驱动的自主水面船(ASV)。由于太阳能周期性变化且受天气扰动影响,系统需在满足瞬时电量约束的前提下实现持久可行性。为此,采用障碍函数最小程度收紧约束以确保持久可行;再通过间接方法推导出简单切换控制律:每个无约束时段内最优速度为待定常数。利用迭代学习法确定各时段的最优常数值,最终获得无需太阳预报的闭式控制律。基于海迹SP-48 ASV模型和北卡罗来纳海岸太阳能数据的仿真表明,该方法性能接近需精确未来太阳预报且计算量更大的模型预测控制,显著降低计算负担。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this paper, we present the methodology and results for a real-time velocity trajectory optimization for a solar-powered autonomous surface vessel (ASV), where we combine indirect optimal control techniques with iterative learning. The ASV exhibits cyclic operation due to the nature of the solar profile, but weather patterns create inevitable disturbances in this profile. The nature of the problem results in a formulation where the satisfaction of pointwise-in-time state of charge constraints does not generally guarantee persistent feasibility, and the goal is to maximize information gathered over a very long (ultimately persistent) time duration. To address these challenges, we first use barrier functions to tighten pointwise-in-time state of charge constraints by the minimal amount necessary to achieve persistent feasibility. We then use indirect methods to derive a simple switching control law, where the optimal velocity is shown to be an undetermined constant value during each constraint-inactive time segment. To identify this optimal constant velocity (which can vary from one segment to the next), we employ an iterative learning approach. The result is a simple closed-form control law that does not require a solar forecast. We present simulation-based validation results, based on a model of the SeaTrac SP-48 ASV and solar data from the North Carolina coast. These simulation results show that the proposed methodology, which amounts to a closed-form controller and simple iterative learning update law, performs nearly as well as a model predictive control approach that requires an accurate future solar forecast and significantly greater computational capability.
