This work presents a constrained multivariable model predictive controller using Laguerre Functions. This controller uses a set of orthonormal Laguerre networks for representation of the control trajectory within a control horizon. In order to demonstrate the advantages of applying this type of controller in MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) systems, the Laguerre Functions Functions are used to decrease the computational load used to calculate the optimal control. In addition, It improves the compromise between control signal viability and closed-loop performance of the system. The Laguerre Functions are also used in conjunction with Hildreth’s Quadratic Programming to find the optimal solution for the case where the control signal is constrained. The proposed controller presents advantages when compared to the classical model predictive control approach, where forward shift operators are used to predict the future trajectory of the control signal, leading to unsatisfactory solutions and a high computational load for cases where the control signal demands a long prediction horizon and a high closed-loop performance.It is also reported the practical testes with a robotic manipulator configured as a MIMO system with three inputs and three outputs and tests simulated with the Wood and Berry binary distillation column which is a MIMO system with two inputs and two outputs, also containing transport time delays. The tests aim to compare the controller results presented with the traditional predictive control approach and thereby demonstrate the advantages of the method using the Laguerre functions and their efficiency for MIMO systems.

Recently, DC/DC power converters have gained wide attention, especially in industry,telecommunications, and the control of renewable energy sources. The increase in the use of this technology can be explained by the growing demand for high-quality DC voltage regulation in various applications. Additionally, recent advances in power electronics along with control engineering have accelerated the development of DC/DC power converters. Therefore, they looked to optimize these converters in several ways, such as improving conversion efficiency and reducing their weight and cost. In the proposed work, control strategies for voltage regulation in a single-inductor, dualoutput Buck DC-DC converter system (SIDO) are investigated. Based on a nominal multiple-input, multiple-output plant model and performance requirements, both a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and a Decoupled PI control strategy are designed to control the power converter system under parametric uncertainties such as variation of the voltage source, variations of constant power loads (CPLs) and variations of load resistances. A prototype of a single inductor dual output DC-DC Buck converter was developed for experimental testing. The results indicate that the proposed LQR strategy approach is reasonable and provides adequate performance improvements in SIDO converter controllers under conditions of varying voltage source and varying load resistances, offering robust performance and system stability; however, more research is needed to address variations in constant power loads and in the design of a PI controller for its application in this kind of system.
