Abstract

Model-Based Predictive Control (MBPC or simply MPC) is a control methodology that makes use of the process model to predict the future outputs of the plant and based on it to optimize future control actions. In fact, predictive control cannot be considered as an independent control strategy, but instead, it integrates a whole family of control methods such as optimal control, process control with dead times, multivariable processes control, etc. This has allowed that the predictive control has had an important development both in the scientific and academic community, as in the industrial sector.
