“…However, undesirable features (i.e., strong couplings between variables, disturbances, complicated dynamic characteristics, and time delays) always bring challenges to researchers [5]. In recent years, in addition to the traditional PID controller [6], a lot of advanced control strategies, such as MPC [7][8][9][10][11][12], adaptive control [11,13,14], neural network control [15], robust control [16,17], optimal control [18], supervisory control [3], and expert control [19], have been put forward. MPC is one of the most popular approaches in the field of GCP.…”
