On the Equivalence of a Minimal Order MPC and a Gtdof Control of Time-Delay Plants

Abstract

It is shown that for open-loop stable plants the task of an MPC can be solved by identifying the plant model only instead of the redundant prediction model. Interesting structural considerations can be derived from comparison of the topologies and structural forms of regulators obtained by pole-placement design, the GTDOF scheme and the MPC. A new simple method is also introduced for adaptive and combined iterative identification and control for time-delay plants. Copyright©2005 IFAC
