Industrial applications of PFC (Predictive Functional Control)

Jacques Richalet

Model predictive control (MPC) or Predictive Funtional Control (PFC) is an advanced method of process control that is used to control a process while satisfying a set of constraints. It has been in use in the process industries in chemical plants and oil refineries since the 1980s.
