Robust model predictive control and fault-handling of batch processes

This Chapter considers the control of batch processes subject to input constraints and model uncertainty with the objective of achieving a desired product quality. First, a computationally efficient non-linear robust MPC is designed. The robust MPC scheme uses robust reverse-time reachability regions (RTRRs) which we define as the set of process states that can be driven to a desired neighborhood of the target end-point subject to input …
