Inherently Robust Economic Model Predictive Control Without Dissipativity

Abstract

We establish sufficient conditions for the terminal cost and constraint such that economic model predictive control (MPC) is robustly recursively feasible and economically robust to small disturbances without any assumptions of dissipativity. Moreover, we demonstrate that these sufficient conditions can be satisfied with standard design methods. A small example is presented to illustrate the inherent robustness of economic MPC to small disturbances.
