Abstract

The four-tanks system is well-known and a considerable number of works study it in the existent literature. This work proposes a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) design to regulate the water flow inputs of the four tanks system. As an initial approach, the implementation is performed in Simulink prior to a foreseeable real-plant application of the proposed solution. Simulation results are presented and discussed to show the performance of the controller. Improvements are enumerated and analysed.
