Generalized predictive control. A practical application and comparison of discrete- and continuous-time versions

Most systems of interest to control engineers are continuous in nature, whereas today's controller implementations are primarily digital. This article presents the results of a practical application where discrete-time and continuous-time versions of generalized predictive control are applied to a well-known system: a cascaded water tank.
