About this title

Synopsis

In recent years Model Predictive Control (MPC) schemes have established themselves as the preferred control strategy for a large number of processes. Their ability to handle constraints and multivariable processes and their intuitive way of posing the pro cess control problem in the time domain are two reasons for their popularity. This volume by authors of international repute provides an extensive review concerning the theoretical and practical aspects of predictive controllers. It describes the most commonly used MPC strategies, especially Generalised Predictive Control (GPC), showing both their theoretical properties and their practical implementation issues. Topics such as multivariable MPC, constraint handling, stability and robustness properties are thoroughly analysed in this text.

From the Back Cover

From power plants to sugar refining, model predictive control (MPC) schemes have established themselves as the preferred control strategies for a wide variety of processes.

The second edition of Model Predictive Control provides a thorough introduction to theoretical and practical aspects of the most commonly used MPC strategies. It bridges the gap between the powerful but often abstract techniques of control researchers and the more empirical approach of practitioners. Model Predictive Control demonstrates that a powerful technique does not always require complex control algorithms.

The text features material on the following subjects:

• general MPC elements and algorithms;
  
• commercial MPC schemes;
  
• generalized predictive control
  
• multivariable, robust, constrained nonlinear and hybrid MPC;
  
• fast methods for MPC implementation;
  
• applications.
  

All of the material is thoroughly updated for the second edition with the chapters on nonlinear MPC, MPC and hybrid systems and MPC implementation being entirely new. Many new exercises and examples have also have also been added throughout and MATLABŪ programs to aid in their solution can be downloaded from extras.springer.com. The text is an excellent aid for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and will also be of use to researchers and industrial practitioners wishing to keep abreast of a fast-moving field.
