In this paper we take a different route to solve MPC problems under uncertainty. Disturbances are modelled as random variables and the expected value of the performance index is minimized. The MPC scheme that can be solved using Stochastic Programming (SP), for which several efficient solution techniques are available. We show that this formulation guarantees robust constraint fulfillment and that the expected value of the optimum cost function of the closed loop system decreases at each time step. date: 2005 date_type: published publication: Decision and Control and European Control Conf. publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: 12th-15th December 2005 pagerange: 1361-1366 event_title: 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference event_location: 12th-15th December 2005 event_dates: Sevilla, Spain id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2005.1582348 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-9567-0 book_title: Decision and Control and European Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1582348&isnumber=33412 citation: Muñoz de la Peña, David and Bemporad, Alberto and Alamo, Teodoro Stochastic programming applied to model predictive control.
