Desarrollo de un controlador predictivo con compensación por adelanto y garantía de estabilidad: resultados preliminares

This paper presents a nominal stabilizing predictive controller with a feedforward action for stable systems. An infinite horizon model predictive controller is developed to guarantee closed-loop stability and compensating disturbances in a single layer controller. The controller stability is assured using the recursive solution and the asymptotical decreasing of the cost function concepts. The infinite horizon predictive controller with feedforward action is implemented in a simulation scenario of a solar collector field in which it is compared to the same control approach without the disturbance compensations. It is demonstrated that the novel strategy can improve the control performance by correctly rejecting the disturbances and keeping the nominal stability features, leading to the convergence of the closed-loop system both for the reference tracking and measured disturbances scenarios.
