Abstract

This chapter contains a brief background on economic model predictive control (EMPC) methods. The background on EMPC methods is meant to provide context to the EMPC design methodologies of the subsequent chapters. In particular, stability and performance under EMPC is discussed. The chapter concludes with a benchmark chemical process application where EMPC is applied to evaluate the closed-loop properties under EMPC.
