An Overview of Nonlinear Model Predictive Control Applications

Research output: Book Chapters | Papers in Conference ProceedingsConference paper (refereed)Researchpeer-review

Abstract

This paper provides an overview of nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) applications in industry, focusing primarily on recent applications reported by NMPC vendors. A brief summary of NMPC theory is presented to highlight issues pertinent to NMPC applications. Five industrial NMPC implementations are then discussed with reference to modeling, control, optimization, and implementation issues. Results from several industrial applications are presented to illustrate the benefits possible with NMPC technology. A discussion of future needs in NMPC theory and practice is provided to conclude the paper.
