SISO EXTENDED PREDICTIVE CONTROL – FORMULATION AND ROBUST ANALYSIS

A new predictive controller is developed that represents a significant change from conventional model predictive control (MPC). The method termed extended predictive control (EPC) uses one tuning parameter, the condition number (CN) of the system matrix to provide a easy-to-follow tuning procedure. The control performance of EPC is compared with the original move suppressed and recently derived shifted predictive controllers, with improved results.
