Abstract :
This paper concerns the application of a closed-loop stable MPC to an industrial FCC converter. The nominal stability of the proposed controller is achieved by considering an infinite prediction horizon. In addition, the state-space model used in the controller formulation is derived from the analytical form of the step response associated with transfer function models of the process, which were obtained from real plant tests.
