Abstract :
The load responses of predictive control systems can be significantly improved by the addition of an observer for load estimation. The observer design is based on the inverse of a simplified process model. Simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed design method results in predictive controllers with load estimation which are superior to both existing predictive controllers and conventional PID control1ers.
