Abstract: This paper considers an application of self-tuning generalized predictive control (STGPC) to a temperature control experimental device of aluminum plate. In our research, although two DOF GPC can achieve to design the output response and the disturbance response independently, model parameters such as thermal conductivity had been fixed in the experiment. Therefore this paper applies STGPC to the experimental device and verifies the validity of the proposed controller. Moreover the control result, in the case of the controller constructed by the identified parameters through parameter identification law, is shown.

Keywords: GPC, self-tuning, temperature control
