On stability and non-averaged performance of economic MPC with terminal conditions for optimal periodic operation

摘要

Operation at steady state is often not optimal when optimizing over an economic cost objective. In many cases, periodic operation yields better performance. Therefore, we derive asymptotic stability guarantees of an economic model predictive control scheme with terminal conditions for systems with optimal periodic operation for a more general setup than existing methods can handle. Moreover, we establish a non-averaged closed-loop performance bound by defining the closed-loop cost via a Cesàro summation instead of ordinary summation. Such a non-averaged performance bound provides new insights for systems with periodic optimal operation.
