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 date: 1994 date_type: published publication: Proc. 3rd IEEE Conf. on Control Applications volume: 3 publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1909-1914 event_dates: Glasgow, U.K. id_number: 10.1109/CCA.1994.381285 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-1872-2 book_title: Conference. on Control Applications official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=381285&isnumber=8643 funders: Work supported in par by MURST and CNR citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Mosca, Edoardo Constraint fulfilment in feedback control via predictive reference management.
