Abstract :
This paper presents a multiobjective model predictive control algorithm which allows the specification of different control goals at different operating points. The algorithm is illustrated with an application to a very detailed model of a solar cooling plant. The plant is used to cool down an office building with varying operating conditions. The plant is a nonlinear multivariable process subject to high disturbances and changing operating loads.
