Linear Quadratic Regular (LQR) [continuous form]


Given the state equations of an LTI system as

$\dot{x}= \bf{A}x + \bf{B}u$,

we would like to find a control input $u$ such that it minimizes the cost function $J$:

$J=\int_{t_0}^{t_1} \left( \bf{x^TQx+u^TRu} \right) dt$.

The optimal control input would be:

$\bf{u_{opt}}=-\bf{Kx}$,

where $\bf{K}=\bf{R^{-1}B^TP}$,

and $\bf{P}$ is obtained by solving the following matrix Riccati equations

$\bf{\dot{P}=-PA-A^TP-Q+PBR^{-1}B^TP}$,

with the following boundary condition:

$\bf{x^T}(t_1)\bf{P}(t_1)\bf{x}(t_1)=\bf{0}$.


Compressor Surge Control System:

NOTE: Surging is not witnessed in reciprocating compressors. So, it concerns centrifugal and axial flow compressors.
