Patent ID: 7400933

Claim:
A method of predictive control for a single input, single output (SISO) system generating an optimum input for controlling the SISO system, comprising: modeling the SISO system with model factors; detecting output from the SISO system; estimating a filtered disturbance from the output; determining a steady state target state from the filtered disturbance and a steady state target output; populating a dynamic optimization solution table using the model factors and a main tuning parameter; determining the optimum input from the dynamic optimization solution table; and controlling the SISO system in response to the optimum input; wherein the estimating a filtered disturbance from the output comprises: determining filter gains from the model factors, an estimator tuning parameter, and an output noise covariance parameter; and estimating the filtered disturbance {circumflex over (d)} k↑k ={circumflex over (d)} k|k−1 +L d ( y k −C{circumflex over (x)} k|k−1 (5).
