  • Predictive regulatory controller
    Patent number: 7486998
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for adjusting control signal values for use in controlling a plant to conform a system parameter to a set-point are disclosed. To adjust control signal values, a reference trajectory for the set-point is generated based on a set-point tracking tuning parameter. A current disturbance value for the system parameter is estimated based on a robustness tuning parameter, a model prediction value resulting from a control signal value associated with the system parameter, and an actual system value associated with the system parameter. A future disturbance value is predicted based on the estimated current disturbance value and a disturbance rejection tuning parameter. The control signal value associated with the system parameter is then adjusted based on the reference trajectory, the model prediction value, the future disturbance value, and an aggressiveness tuning parameter.
