Offset-free state-space nonlinear predictive control for Wiener systems

This work is concerned with state space Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Wiener systems which consist of a linear dynamic block connected in series with a nonlinear steady-state (static) one. Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms with successive on-line model or trajectory linearisation for dynamic processes described by such Wiener systems are discussed. Advantages of the presented MPC algorithms are: (a) computational efficiency since...
