Abstract
This paper is oriented toward presenting the advanced predictive control methods in thermal processes which have been developed and/or practically implemented at the ASE Institute in FEEIT Skopje. The thermal processes usually have high fuel consumption and therefore the optimization of the fuel costs is extremely important. With reducing of these costs we dramatically reduce the costs of the final product. In such direction, the advanced control methods for thermal processes usually lean toward faster response and increased robustness, in this case, using predictive techniques.
