Cc. Chan et al., COMPARISON OF GPC CONTROLLER AND A PID AUTO-TUNER FOR A HEATING PLANT, International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, 34(4), 1997, pp. 316-325
Generalised Predictive Control (GPC)(1) is applied on the VVS-400 Heat
ing/Ventilation System(4). The temperature control performance of GPC
is compared with the on-board PID auto-tuner under load disturbance co
ndition. GPC seems to be not affected if the plant model is over-param
eterized. Furthermore, any offsets are eliminated by the consequence o
f assuming CARIMA plant model.
