Resources on Predictive Control

Articles
  • Advanced Control in Co-generation Utility Management, S.Goodhart, J.Nishizawa, K.Yano and H.Yada, IEE Computing & Control Journal, Dec 2000. A description of the application of DMCplus to optimise operating costs of a steam and electrical co-generation plant at a large Mitsubishi Chemical plant in Japan.
  • Algorithms for Industrial Model Predictive Control, D.Sandoz, M.Desforges, B.Lennox and Peter Goulding, IEE Computing & Control Journal, June 2000. Discusses three different methods for realising constrained predictive control that are in different stages of take up in industrial applications. An example based on a heavy oil fractionator is presented.
