Application of predictive control to fast systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is relatively unwieldy and therefore does not lend itself to applications requiring fast sample rates. However many recent developments have looked at how the algorithm can be implemented both more efficiently in time and with relatively simple coding requirements. Read more

Predictive control of non-linear and/or robust systems

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

Predictive control is by now a well established methodology whereby one bases the design of the control law on the optimisation of system predictions. Read more

Multi-rate and/or non square systems and/or decentralised control

University of Sheffield Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering

In many chemical processes there are limitations on the sampling rates and the number of inputs and outputs may not match. This affects the structure of the control law as one ends up with a so called multi-rate or non-square system , for which conventional control design is not applicable. Read more
