Design of a Nonlinear Generalized Predictive Controller based on Database-Driven Approach

This paper presents a Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) design scheme based on database-driven approach for nonlinear systems.In industrial systems, lots of controlled plants with unknown time-delay and strong nonlinearity, are difficult to be handled in terms of control performance.The databased-driven approach has been attracted attention to tackle non-linearity issue without system information.On the other hand, GPC is considered in cases where the time-delay is unknown.The proposed scheme is validated through a numerical simulation.
