Model predictive control (MPC) has been used successfully in industry. The basic characteristic of these algorithms is the formulation of an optimization problem in order to compute the sequence of control moves that minimize a performance function on the time horizon with the best information available at each instant, taking into account operation and plant model constraints. The classical algorithms Infinite Horizon Model Predictive Control (IHMPC) and Model Predictive Control with Reference System (RSMPC) were used for the experimental application in the multivariable control of the pilot plant (level and pH). The simulations and experimental results indicate the applicability and limitation of the control technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
