评论： Torsten 2023-11-29

I am trying to code a Matlab program that optimizes the parameters of a Simulink model called "R1Model" and simultaneously compares the simulation data (simulated_data) generated by the model with the experimental data (y_exp). Once the optimization is complete, the code should display the values of the optimized parameters such that the simulated data matches the real data. I think the error is in the objective function. This Error message always occurs:

Error using fmincon (line 321)

Row dimension of A is inconsistent with length of b.

Error in Try1 (line 27)

[optimal_param, optimal_value] = fmincon(objective_function, initialRCParams, lb, ub);

Help is highly appreciated:)

Thanks!

The Code:

%load('Res_1st_run.mat');
ExpData = importdata("Res_1st_run.mat");
t_exp = ExpData.results.I_cmd_A.Time.';
%y_exp = ExpData.results.U_measured_V.Data.';
y_exp = ExpData.results.SOC_BAT.Data.'./100;
% the Simulink model function to be optimized
simulink_model = @(param) simulate_model(param, t_exp); 
% the objective function to minimize (sum of squared differences)
objective_function = @(param) sum((y_exp - simulink_model(param)).^2);
% Initial parameter guess
initialRCParams = [RCParameters.R_i, RCParameters.R_1, RCParameters.R_2, RCParameters.C_1, RCParameters.C_2];
% Define parameter bounds 
lb = double([0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
ub = double([10, 10, 10, 10, 10]);
% Optimization using fmincon
% options = optimset('Display', 'iter', 'MaxIter', 100); % Modify options as needed
[optimal_param, optimal_value] = fmincon(objective_function, initialRCParams, lb, ub);
% Display optimized parameter and objective value
fprintf('Optimized Parameter: %.4f\n', optimal_param);
fprintf('Optimized Objective Value: %.4f\n', optimal_value);
% Simulate the model with the optimized parameter
simulated_data = simulate_model(optimal_param, t_exp); 
% Plot the experimental and simulated data for comparison
plot(t_exp, y_exp, 'b', t_exp, simulated_data, 'r');
xlabel('Time');
ylabel('Data');
legend('Experimental Data', 'Simulated Data');
function simulated_data = simulate_model(param, t_exp)
open_system('R1Model');
%param = initialRCParams;
RCParameters = param;
% Simulate the model and return the simulated data
simulated_data = sim('R1Model', 'StartTime', num2str(t_exp(1)), 'StopTime', num2str(t_exp(end)));
simulated_data = simulated_data.yout{1}.Values.Data;
end

[optimal_param, optimal_value] = fmincon(objective_function, initialRCParams, lb, ub);

Mathworks-provided functions never look at the names of variables that you are passing in as parameters in order to guess what functional role the contents of those parameters have.

Mathworks-provided functions work with a mix of positional parameters and name-value pairs (all name-value pairs must go after positional parameters.)

fmincon() does not accept any name-value pairs, only positional parameters. If you do not wish to actively use a particular positional parameter, pass in [ ] in that location.

[optimal_param, optimal_value] = fmincon(objective_function, initialRCParams, [], [], [], [], lb, ub);

Thank you for the quick reply! However I now get this result which is quit unsatiesfying:

Optimization completed because at the initial point, the objective function is non-decreasing

in feasible directions to within the value of the optimality tolerance, and

constraints are satisfied to within the value of the constraint tolerance.

Optimized Parameter: 0.0373

Optimized Parameter: 0.0168

Optimized Parameter: 0.0029

Optimized Parameter: 1680.0000

Optimized Parameter: 2999.0100

Optimized Objective Value: 13865.2475

I think the problem lies in the objective function or that the parameters are somehow not updated correctly...

I tried to plot the objective function while keeping R_2 ,C_1 and C_2 constant and R_i, R_1 as variables and the result was that the objective function is a constant.

Any help or suggestions are highly appreciated:) Thank you!

Okay thank you! But if I change the parameters manually the simulated data does change. So probably the updating of parameters does not work probably but all my debugging test suggests it does. Could it be something else?

Torsten 2023-11-29

Did you try a different initial point ?

Did you write the simulated data to file during execution and compare them with those you obtain with the initial parameters ?
