Use of dynamic matrix control in simulation of heat system

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to system control. Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) method was chosen and its functionality was verified by a simulation of system control based on a real laboratory model. A control algorithm and the simulation were realized in MATLAB/SIMULINK program environment. Results have proven capabilities of DMC method to control stable oscillatory and nonminimum phase systems. Additionally, real model parameters were tested with a demonstration of a possibility of tuning by a ratio of weighting values form objective function.
