Handling multi‐rate and missing data in variable duration economic model predictive control of batch processes

In the present work, we consider the problem of variable duration economic model predictive control of batch processes subject to multi‐rate and missing data. To this end, we first generalize a recently developed subspace‐based model identification approach for batch processes to handle multi‐rate and missing data by utilizing the incremental singular value decomposition technique. Exploiting the fact that the proposed identification approach …
