CGPC: an application to an air conditioning system

This paper presents experimental results of the modeling, identification and control of an air conditioning system. The process has been decomposed in two subsystems connected in series with a natural feedback. It has been identified by the model based method using Marquardt´s algorithm. The controller system is a “two-interwoven-loops” where a classical internal model based controller has been synthesized for the inner loop and a continuous generalised predictive control (CGPC) based controller has been synthesized for the outer loop
