forspárstýring
Forspárstýring, a term originating from Icelandic, translates to "forecasting management" or "predictive control" in English. It refers to a class of advanced control strategies that utilize a model of the process to predict its future behavior. Based on these predictions, the controller then calculates an optimal control sequence over a finite horizon, typically applying only the first control action and then re-evaluating the prediction and control sequence at the next time step. This receding horizon approach is a key characteristic of forspárstýring.
The core idea behind forspárstýring is to anticipate potential deviations from the desired setpoint and proactively
Applications of forspárstýring are found in various fields, including chemical engineering, robotics, automotive systems, and aerospace.
