Abstract

Economic Model Predictive Control (EMPC) has recently become popular because of its ability to control constrained nonlinear systems while explicitly optimizing a prescribed performance criterion. Large performance gains have been reported for many applications and closed-loop stability has been recently investigated. However, computational performance still remains an open issue and only few contributions have proposed real-time algorithms tailored to EMPC. We perform a step towards computationally cheap algorithms for EMPC by proposing a new positive-definite Hessian approximation which does not hinder fast convergence and is suitable for being used within the real-time iteration (RTI) scheme. We provide two simulation examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of RTI-based EMPC relying on the proposed Hessian approximation.
