Proportional and integral (PI) control parameters are determined by approximating a dynamic matrix control (DMC). Since accuracy of the approximation depends on DMC parameters in a complicated manner, a combination of direct and indirect optimization methods are employed in this paper. Quadratic programming (QP) is used to determine PI parameters, and a simple grid method is used to find optimal DMC parameters. A tuning formula for the PI controller based on a curve-fitting technique, is suggested. Computer simulations are performed to compare performance of the new PI design method with those achievable using some existing PI controllers.
