The standard predictive control problem

Project members: T.J.J. van den Boom, A.C.P.M. Backx (Eindhoven University of Technology)

In this project the standard predictive control problem (SPCP) is studied. The SPCP consists of one extended process description with a feedback uncertainty block. The most important finite and infinite horizon predictive control problems can be seen as special realizations of this SPCP. The SPCP and its solution are given in state-space. The objective of the controller is nominal performance subject to signal constraints and robust stability with respect to bounded model uncertainty.

Stability and feasibility are studied for the finite and infinite prediction horizon case with structured input signals descriptions and level and rate constraints on input, state and output signals.

This project is done in cooperation with the Control Systems group of Eindhoven University of Technology.
