Design of controllers based on MPC for a conical tank system

Conical tank level process was studied experimentally to obtain the process model. The linear portion of this non linear model was considered and different control schemes such as discrete time Proportional Integral Derivative control (DTPID) and Discrete time Model Predictive Control (MPC) were implemented in MATLAB environment. Among these two control schemes, MPC resulted with minimum rise time, settling time and overshoot.
