Description
Summary:In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the latent variable model predictive control (LV-MPC) algorithm, originally proposed by Flores-Cerrillo and MacGregor, is presented. The properties of the algorithm in terms of stability, robustness, and control performance are analyzed. An off-line design methodology, using Internal Model Control framework (IMC), to determine the adequate range of the LV-MPC parameters is proposed. The excellent control performance and robustness of the off-line design methodology is illustrated for the temperature tracking of an emulsion polymerization process and an exothermic chemical reaction system.
