SISO extended predictive control—formulation and the basic algorithm

A new predictive controller is developed that represents a significant change from conventional model predictive control. The method termed extended predictive control (EPC) uses one tuning parameter, the condition number of the system matrix to provide an easy-to-follow tuning procedure. EPC drastically improves the system matrix conditionality resulting in faster closed-loop response without oscillatory transients. The control performance of EPC is compared with the original move suppressed and recently derived shifted predictive controllers, with improved results.
