Model Predictive Control

Model Predictive Control (MPC), the classic textbook for students and practitioners seeking deep understanding of advanced control systems, is now revised, updated and reorganized in a streamlined third edition. The authors, renowned researchers in the field, cover an extensive range of topics that embraces the basic and the advanced, the theoretical and the applied. The book offers advanced undergraduate and graduate students an accessible, step-by-step approach that enables them progressively to grasp and apply the concepts they are studying. For instructors, this is an invaluable curriculum resource packed with examples and case studies. The text features material on: commercial MPC: convolution models, transfer functions, state-space models, and constraints; advanced topics: robust and stochastic MPC and MPC for nonlinear, hybrid, large-scale, and distributed systems; and applications: a series of case studies in solar energy generation, hospital stock control, a pilot microgrid
