P5: Real-system application and report structuring

5 junho 2026, 15:00 • Sérgio Pequito

This session focused on applying the previously designed MPC and Kalman filter to the real TCLab system and comparing the experimental behavior with the simulation results. It also included guidance on structuring the final report, making plots self-contained and readable, and ensuring that key details such as variables, objectives, bounds, legends, captions, units, and interpretations are explicit in the report rather than hidden in the code.

P4: MPC design, tracking, constraints, and Kalman filtering.

29 maio 2026, 15:00 • Sérgio Pequito

These sessions focused on designing and testing the MPC controller in simulation, from the unconstrained regulator to reference tracking with feedforward terms, input/output constraints, and safety limits. Students were expected to document the decision variables, objective function, bounds, constraints, selected horizon, control weight, and computational trade-offs, without requiring the reader to inspect the code. They were also expected to interpret steady-state errors, infeasibility, soft constraints, disturbance compensation, and the effect of Kalman filter tuning on the closed-loop behavior.
