Model Predictive Control (MPC)

Model Predictive Control (MPC) is an advanced method used to manage systems by predicting future behavior. It uses a mathematical model of the system to forecast how it will respond to different inputs over a certain time horizon. By continuously analyzing these predictions, MPC determines the best current actions to achieve desired outcomes while respecting constraints. It then implements the first step of these actions and repeats the process as new data comes in, effectively adapting to changing conditions. MPC is widely used in industries like manufacturing, energy, and automotive for optimizing process performance and ensuring safety.
