Effect of constrained in model predictive controller for SISO SMISD plant

This paper focus on performance analysis of Model Predictive Controller (MPC) due to the presence of constraint in its algorithm. The controllers are tested in Small-Medium Industry Steam Distillation Plant (SMISD) for regulating the steam temperature at the desired level. The performance of the controller are evaluated based on percentage overshoot, settling time and rise time. The simulation and real-time outcome indicated that Constrained MPC produced better transient response as compared to Unconstrained MPC.
