What is the Predictive Control and to Where it is Planning?

Model Based Predictive Control (MBPC or simply MPC) is a control methodology that uses the process model to predict the future plant outputs and optimize the future control actions. In fact, the predictive control cannot be considered as a separate control strategy but rather a family of integrated control methods such as optimal control, control of processes with dead time, multivariable processes control, etc. This has allowed predictive control has been an important development in both the scientific and academic community and in the industry.
