Abstract

We explain two aspects of the design of stage cost in MPC schemes. In the theoretical part of this paper, we summarize recent result for the analysis of MPC stability and performance for general cost functions based on strict dissipativity and the turnpike property. In the application part, we explain how to design an MPC controller for the challenging task of starting up a combined cycle power plant. The paper thus describes the topic from two sides and shows how the theoretical insights can inform decisions in applications.
