Model predictive control (MPC) is an advanced process control strategy that is usually separated into two levels; steady-state target calculation and dynamic optimization. The existence of uncertainty in model parameters of target calculation can significantally affect the overall performance of the controller. Methods have been proposed to deal with model uncertainty using robust optimization. In this study, a new approach using post-optimality analysis is proposed to study the effect of uncertainty or variation in model parameters on the optimal solution of linear target calculation. This approach can compute the stability limits, for simultaneous variation in objective function coefficients or process limitations, before the optimal target or basis are changed.
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.
