Model predictive control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy in the control of complex industrial, automotive and energy systems. By solving an optimisation problem over a finite horizon, MPC ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a modern feedback law that generates the control signal by solving an optimal control problem at each sampling time. This approach is capable of maximizing a certain ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Using your noodle to think things through tends to make things go much more smoothly—even if you’re just a high-speed food packaging machine wrapping instant noodles. That’s an important lesson gained ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...
