Abstract
A new technique is presented for the design of evolutionary predictive controllers in which the optimum parameters of a predictive controlle r are computed at each time step. Based on a stochastic search techniq ue using Genetic Algorithms, the technique leads to the design of pred ictive controllers whose closed-loop performance subject to control co nstraints is significantly improved over existing predictive control t echniques. Examples of both unconstrained and constrained control are presented.
