Abstract:
Model Predictive Control is a process control technique that is used in process industries that predict the future
behavior of the process state by predicting the change in the dependent variables of the modeled system. It can
compute the future input at each step by minimizing a cost function on the manipulated and controlled
variables. The main goal of this paper is to design a Model Predictive for a multivariable process. Here, the
distillation column is used as a multivariable process. Finally, the settling time, overshoot, ISE, IAE, ITAE
errors of MPC controller is compared with PID controller for both SISO and MIMO systems.
