“…The Hybrid Model Predictive Control (HMPC) strategy is a technique that represents nonlinear dynamics under different operating modes, by creating a set of linear equations. Since a linearization process of nonlinear dynamics can be a difficult task, a hybrid identification procedure is used, allowing to obtain simple models suitable for a HMPC controller (Putz and Cipriano, 2013). Given the existence of several operating modes in a grinding plant, regarding the ON/OFF status of secondary grinding circuits, ON/OFF status of conveyors, quantity of active hydrocyclones, and others.…”
