Distributed Model Predictive Control for Plant-Wide Systems

A comprehensive examination of DMPC theory and its technological applications

• A comprehensive examination of DMPC theory and its technological applications from basic through to advanced level
• A systematic introduction to DMPC technology providing classic DMPC coordination strategies, analysis of their performance, and design methods for both unconstraint and constraint systems
• Includes the system partition methods, coordination strategies, the performance analysis and how to design stabilized DMPC under different coordination strategies
• Presents useful theories and technologies which can be used in many different industrial fields, such as the metallurgical process and high speed transport, helping readers to grasp the procedure of using the DMPC
• Reflects  the authors' combined research in the area, providing a wealth of and current and background information
