Resumo:
This work will propose a set of strategies based on augmented representation in state space during the implementing model-based predictive controller to enable the use of decoupler with the guarantee of stability and robustness in constrained multivariable linear systems. The new formulation is general and can be used with many decouplers that applicable to the process and many predictive controller strategies. A initial literature review will be carried out with the objective of providing a basis for formalization of the proof of stability and robustness for the predictive controller using the proposed representation and the results will be presented through simulation study cases. The main contribution comes from obtaining decoupled responses with guarantees of stability and robustness.
