ITMPC (Improving the tuning methodology for MPC) is a project funded by the EU Sixth Framework Programme under the "Marie Curie Actions - Human resources and mobility". Marie Curie Actions main objective is to provide broad support for the development of abundant and dynamic world-class human resources in the European research system, taking into account the inherent international dimension of research

 

What is the main objective?

 The Department of Systems and Control (Ingeniería de Sistemas y Automática)  at Escuela de Ingenieros of the University of  Sevilla has an extended and successful experience in developing and applying Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategies to a variety of processes and in particular to solar plants.  The new areas of competence to be developed by the host institution are related to the design of robust MPC structure by using  Identification in closed loop, On site tuning-Robustness or any other methods.

The project will be implemented by hosting outstanding European researchers which will lecture and interact with the host research group during their stay at the host institution. A total of  9 researchers will be hosted from our institute and six  researchers form the host institute will be involved full-time on the TOK project.

During their stay the hosted researcher will be asked to (i) lecture and give seminars, (ii) demonstrate the uses of the current available tools, (iii) interact through scheduled meetings with local industry and with local researchers on a list of several applications that are the subject of current studies at the host institution and

The project will start the 15th of May 2004 for a period of four years
