Design and implementation of a QDMC controller.

摘要

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is being used by the chemical industry as an alternative to conventional methods of process control. MPC is implemented mostly to handle multivariable interacting processes and also nonlinear processes. Among the MPC algorithms, Quadratic Dynamic Matrix Control (QDMC) has been successfully applied in industry. The QDMC has proven it can handle multivariable processes along with process constraints. This thesis is an attempt to show how to design and implement a QDMC controller for the chemical process industry.
