Description

Applications ranging from the process industries to the automotive and the communications sector are making increased use of Model Predictive Control(MPC), where a fixed control law is replaced by on-line optimization performed over a receding horizon.  The advantage is that MPC can deal with almost any time-varying process and specifications, limited only by the availability of real-time computer power. This course is designed to help students to understand the basic principle and operation of model predictive control and its optimization. After completing this course, students will have sound knowledge on the basic concepts of model-based control and its applications.
