Adaptive Economic Model Predictive Control for linear systems with performance guarantees

Abstract

We present a model predictive control (MPC) formulation to directly optimize economic criteria for linear constrained systems subject to disturbances and uncertain model parameters. The proposed formulation combines a certainty equivalent economic MPC with a simple least-squares parameter adaptation. For the resulting adaptive economic MPC scheme, we derive strong asymptotic and transient performance guarantees. We provide a numerical example involving building temperature control and demonstrate performance benefits of online parameter adaptation.
