  • APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL (MPC) USING APPROXIMATE WINDOW-BASED ESTIMATORS
    Publication number: 20120109620
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining at least one measurement of one or more controlled variables associated with an industrial process. The method also includes obtaining a linearized approximation of a process model representing the industrial process. The method further includes estimating a state of the industrial process using the at least one measurement, the linearized approximation, and a window-based state estimator. The method also includes generating at least one control signal for adjusting one or more manipulated variables associated with the industrial process. Generating the at least one control signal includes using the estimated state and model predictive control (MPC) logic. In addition, the method includes outputting the at least one control signal.
