Predictive Functional Control: Principles and Industrial Applications

by Donal O'Donovan and Jacques Richalet

first industrial application of MPC was in 1973. A key motivation was to provide better performance than could be obtained with the widely-used PID controller whilst making it easy to replace the PID controller unit or module with his new algorithm.
