Adaptive Predictive Control Algorithm for Batch Processes: Application to a Rotational Molding Process

The present manuscript addresses the problem of handling process nonlinearity in batch process operations and control via a re-identification-based subspace identification approach deployed within a model predictive control (MPC) framework. In contrast to existing re-identification algorithms for continuous and batch processes, where all of the recent and past experimental data is chosen to re-identify the model, the proposed approach is …
