Abstract
Model predictive control (MPC) has become the standard for implementing constrained, multivariable control of industrial continuous processes. These are processes which are designed to operate around nominal steady-state values, which include many of the important processes found in the refining and chemical industries. The following provides an overview of MPC, including its history, major technical developments, and how MPC is applied today in practice. Possible future developments are provided.
