DEVELOPMENT OF AN EXTENDED PREDICTIVE CONTROLLER FOR A SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM

The proposed algorithm of extended predictive control (EPC) represents an exact method for removing the ill-conditioning in the system matrix by developing a unique weighting structure for any control horizon. The main feature of EPC algorithm is that it uses the condition number (CN) of the system matrix to evaluate a single tuning parameter that provides a specified closed loop response. Tuning of EPC is effective and simple since there is a direct relationship between closed loop performance and its tuning parameter.
