Recent Developments in Tuning Methods for Predictive Functional Control

Predictive functional control (PFC) is a popular alternative to PID because it exploits model information better and enables systematic constraint handling while also being cheap computationally efficient. A recent overview paper reviewed some proposals for improving the tuning efficacy. This extends develops upon that review by introducing exciting new how making more intuitive and, thus, easier unskilled operators. Moreover, there are early indications these easily modified use in nonlinear cases maintaining very low cost simple fast online computation.
