From power plants to sugar refining, model predictive control (MPC) schemes have established themselves as the preferred control strategies for a wide variety of processes. The second edition of "Model Predictive Control" provides a thorough introduction to theoretical and practical aspects of the most commonly used MPC strategies. It bridges the gap between the powerful but often abstract techniques of control researchers and the more empirical approach of practitioners. "Model Predictive Control" demonstrates that a powerful technique does not always require complex control algorithms. The text features material on the following subjects: general MPC elements and algorithms; commercial MPC schemes; generalized predictive control multivariable, robust, constrained nonlinear and hybrid MPC; fast methods for MPC implementation; applications.All of the material is thoroughlyupdated for the second edition with the chapters on nonlinear MPC, MPC andhybrid systems and MPC implementation being entirely new. Many new exercisesand examples have also have also been added throughout and MATLAB programsto aid in their solution can be downloaded from extras.springer.com. The text is an excellent aid for graduate and advanced undergraduate studentsand will also be of use to researchers and industrial practitioners wishing tokeep abreast of a fast-moving field.
