Multivariable Predictive Control with Filtered Variables in Prediction Equations

The paper is focused on an implementation of a multivariable predictive controller with a colouring filter C in a disturbance model. The filter is often essential for practical applications of predictive control based on input-output models. It is commonly considered as a design parameter because it has direct effects on closed loop performance. In this paper a computation of redictions for the case with the colouring filter is introduced. The computation is based on a particular model of the controlled system in the form of matrix fraction which is commonly used for description of a range of multivariable processes. Performance of closed loop system with and without the colouring filter in the disturbance model was compared
