The proposed solution is based on predicting the evolution of the constrained vector and, accordingly, selecting online the future reference based on both the current state and the desired set-point changes. The achievable performance is first investigated via simulations, and compared with the one obtained via a receding horizon controller which uses an online mathematical programming solver. Finally, an analysis is carried out so as to establish the stability and offset-free properties of the method ER -
