9780198562924: Advances in Model-Based Predictive Control (Oxford Science Publications)

Synopsis

In the classic example of a steam engine governor an increase in speed immediately results in a decrease in steam supplied, so slowing the engine. In many instances there is a considerable lag between the corrective action (decrease in steam) and resumption of the correct state. For example, the output of a base chemical plant may take minutes or even hours to respond to pressure of temperature changes imposed on the plant. In these cases predictive control is required. Without a detailed running history of the chemical plant (in this example) it is then necessary to use model-based predictive control (rather than experience based predictive control).

This book is devoted to all aspects of Model-Based Predictive Control, including new developments in the theory of the subect and current applications of MBPC to real processes. Topics included are: algorithm developments, industrial applications, and comparison with other approaches.

Review

The book will be of interest to both researchers and designers, and control engineers. (Aslib Book Guide, Vol.59, no. 11, Nov 1994)
