Abstract

This paper shows that the GPC with exponential weighting(GPCEW) can be applied to Electric furnace system which has large time delay. Stability of GPCEW can be guarantee from monotonically non-increasing property of Riccati difference equation. We show that the performance of GPCEW versus GPC and auto-tuning PID control is better than that of GPC or atito-tuning PID.
