In contrast, tracking MPC has well-established stability guarantees, but can yield poor closed-loop performance in terms of the selected economic criterion. In Zanon et al. (2016), a formal procedure to design a tracking MPC scheme so as to locally approximate the behaviour of economic MPC was proposed for the case of optimal steady-state operation. In this paper, we extend that result to the periodic case and provide a procedure to compute the tracking stage cost numerically. We illustrate our developments in a simulated example. publisher: Elsevier date: 2017 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.imtlucca.it/4004/1/1-s2.0-S2405896317328987-main.pdf identifier: Zanon, Mario and Gros, Sébastien and Diehl, Moritz A Periodic Tracking MPC that is Locally Equivalent to Periodic Economic MPC.
