Model predictive control: past, present and future!
More than 15 years after model predictive control (MPC) appeared in industry as an effective means to deal with multivariable constrained control problems, a theoretical basis for this technique has started to emerge. The issues of feasibility of the on-line optimization, stability and performance are largely understood for systems described by linear models. Much progress has been made on these issues for non-linear systems but for practical applications many questions remain, including the reliability and efficiency of the on-line computation scheme. To deal with model uncertainty ‘rigorously’ an involved dynamic programming problem must be solved. The approximation techniques proposed for this purpose are largely at a conceptual stage. Among the broader research needs the following areas are identified: multivariable system identification, performance monitoring and diagnostics, non-linear state estimation, and batch system control. Many practical problems like control objective prioritization and symptom-aided diagnosis can be integrated systematically and effectively into the MPC framework by expanding the problem formulation to include integer variables yielding a mixed-integer quadratic or linear program. Efficient techniques for solving these problems are becoming available...
Architectures for distributed and hierarchical Model Predictive Control – A review!
The aim of this paper is to review and to propose a classification of a number of decentralized, distributed and hierarchical control architectures for large scale systems. Attention is focused on the design approaches based on Model Predictive Control. For the considered architectures, the underlying rationale, the fields of application, the merits and limitations are discussed, the main references to the literature are reported and some future developments are suggested. Finally, a number of open problems is listed...
