چکیده
The objective of this paper is showing how model predictive control can easily be implemented directly into industrial bioreactor automation systems and thus making this control technology accessible to the fed-batch fermentation processes. By means of a practical example it is shown how to keep the biomass concentration exactly on its predefined path taking the substrate feed rate as the only action variable in a bioreactor that is conventionally equipped with standard measurement devices. The model predictive control algorithm uses a very simple general process model the parameters of which are adapted during the cultivation process. Additionally the feed rate profile corresponding to the desired biomass profile is used as a scheduling variable to adapt to changes in the process dynamics and at the same time for safeguarding

Design and Practical Implementation of a New Markov Model Predictive Controller for Variable Communication Packet Loss in Network Control Systems
The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...

This paper proposes a novel structure of model predictive control algorithm for piecewise affine systems as a particular class of hybrid systems. Due to the time consuming and computational complexity of online optimization problem in MPC algorithm, the explicit form of MPC which is called Explicit MPC (EMPC) is applied in order to control of buck converter.
