A new formulation of Economic Model Predictive Control without terminal constraint
Abstract
In this paper, it is shown that a simple formulation of Economic Model Predictive Control can be used which possesses two features that are generally viewed as mutually exclusive, namely, a rather short prediction horizon (reachability-compatible) on one side, and the absence of final constraint on the other side. The result holds for discrete-time models that are originated from continuous-time models by means of discretization. Practical stability at a small neighborhood of the optimal unknown steady-state pair is shown when some parameters increase and sampling time decreases. A commonly used example is given to illustrate the result.
