title: An approach to predictive control of multivariable time-delayed plant: stability and design issues.
abstract: In this paper, a new method of multivariable predictive control is presented. The main advantage of a predictive approach is that multivariable plants with time delays can be easily handled. The proposed control algorithm also introduces a compact and simple design in the case of higher-order and nonminimal phase plants, but it is limited to open-loop stable plants. The algorithm of the proposed multivariable predictive control is developed, designed, and implemented on an air-conditioned system. The stability of the proposed control law is discussed.
