Model-Based Design of the IMO-NMPC Strategy: Real-Time Implementation.

This paper presents the methodology employed by the Intelligent Control Research Group (GICI) of the UPV/EHU for developing intelligent control strategies and implementing them on real-time platforms. Previous works have focused on the simulation phase of the methodology. However, this work represents one of the final steps where the code, after simulation validation, is transferred to an industrial hardware platform. This strengthens the methodology and demonstrates the actual capability of the iMO-NMPC control strategy in constrained settings. The Speedgoat baseline model was used as the hardware platform.
