Infinite Horizon MPC and model reduction applied to large scale chemical plant

摘要

This paper studies the application of Infinite Horizon Model predictive Control (MPC) and model reduction by means of Hankel norm to chemical process of interest in the field of control of large, complex and networked systems. In this paper we first describes the model of the complete process which is composed by three reactors and three distillation columns. Later, we show the main aspects about model reduction by means of Hankel norm and Infinite Horizon MPC and finally the model obtained through numerical linearization and model reduction is used to design centralized Infinite Horizon Model predictive Control (MPC).
