Abstract: The Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) in transfer function representation is proposed for the cascade control task. The recommended cascade GPC (CGPC) applies one predictor and one cost function that results in several advantageous features: The disturbance regulations of the inner and the outer loops can be totally decoupled; the inner disturbance regulation is well damped, the typical overshoot of the traditional cascade control structure is avoided. The investigation is based on simulation experiments of heat exchanger model identified from SISO input and output data.
