Overview

Predictive control is probably the most popular advanced control technique adopted by the industry. Its popularity stems from capability for constraints handling and optimal control framework. A new family of nonlinear predictive controllers will be introduced that is much simpler to compute than most existing designs and is closer to model based fixed controllers than the more usual on-line linearization or adaption. In addition, to the NGMV controllers, the dual estimation problems are equally interesting. A brief overview on the current trends in Nonlinear Predictive Control will be provided as well.
