Abstract: The project is aimed at research in the area of robust model predictive control (MPC) of the systems with uncertainties. The research is focused especially to the processes of chemical and food technologies, such as chemical reactors, heat exchangers and others. From the control viewpoint the main demands are the stability of the control, the quality of control performance, the optimization of energy resources, and the total computational burden of robust MPC design. The designed robust MPC will be validated using simulation of control and laboratory plants.

Objectives: Main objectives of the project involve solving these particular tasks:

  • study the possibilities of conservativeness reduction
  • design of the robust MPC of uncertain multiple-input and multiple-output systems with input constraints
  • software package for modeling and control the processes of chemical and food technologies

Principal researcher: Juraj Oravec
