Generalized Predictive Control Parameter Adaptation Using a Fuzzy Logic Approach
A method to adapt the Generalized Predictive Control parameters to improve broadband disturbance rejection was developed and tested. The effect of the parameters on disturbance rejection has previously been poorly understood and a trial and error method was used to achieve adequate results. This …

Robust self-tuning predictive control for industrial applications
The recently introduced self-tuning Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) algorithm based on long range prediction, has been successfully tested in a wide range of industrial control applications. The complicated nature of the GPC algorithm, however, makes it very difficult to apply to it the …
