MPC is the class of advanced control techniques most widely applied in the process industries. A primary advantage to the approach is the explicit handling of constraints. In addition, the formulation for multivariable systems with time delays is straightforward.
After studying this chapter, the reader should understand the basic ideas behind MPC, including the following:
Dynamic matrix control (DMC)
Tuning parameters such as prediction and control horizons and control weight
The effect tuning parameters have on control performance and stability
The ability to explicitly include constraints and handle multivariable processes
The major sections of this chapter are as follows:
