Initial Tuning of Predictive Controllers by Reverse Engineering

Hartley E.N. and Maciejowski J.M.

Proc. European Control Conference, August 2009

Abstract

This paper demonstrates a method for finding the cost function and state observer to be used in model predictive control (MPC) so that when constraints are inactive we reproduce a pre-existing low order controller thereby inheriting its desirable properties. This can be used as a baseline for further tuning. We explore the available degrees of design freedom in order to facilitate, as appropriate, exploitation of constraint-handling, offset-free and redundancy management capabilities of MPC.
