This paper proposes an improved constrained networked model predictive tracking control design for the chamber pressure of a coke furnace under uncertainty and packet losses. Unlike conventional constrained model predictive control (MPC) strategies that have a limitation in the consideration of both set-point tracking and the dynamic process responses, the system state variables and output tracking errors are combined and thus can be regulated simultaneously in the new MPC scheme. Based on such advantages, there are more degrees of freedom for the subsequent controller design and improved system performance can then be obtained. Case studies on the regulation of chamber pressure of a coke furnace under process uncertainties and packet losses are investigated to verify the proposed approach in comparison with typical traditional constrained MPC schemes.
