Abstract The idea for this work starts from the situation in which a metaheuristic-based
algorithm has already been developed in order to solve an optimal control
problem. This algorithm yields an offline "optimal" solution. On the other hand,
the Receding Horizon Control (RHC) structure can be implemented if a process
model is available. This work underlines some of the practical aspects of joining
the RHC to an existing metaheuristic-based algorithm in order to obtain a
closed-loop control structure that can be further used in real-time control. The
result is a systematic procedure that integrates a given More >
