METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL IN A REAL TIME CONTROLLER

摘要

is provided a method 300 and apparatus for controlling the load on the machine (30) . While the method of the present invention remains substantially constant over a control output associated with the process variable in the forecast period , determines the maximum allowable value of the process variable using a predictive model of the machine 304, the maximum value of the process variable is determined if possible within the limits , increasing the control output (312 ) and the output process is a control value includes setting a final value (318 ) for the process variable that does not exceed the allowable range .
