| description | Despite the extensive literature that exists on predictive control and robustness to uncertainty, both multiplicative (e.g. parametric) and additive (e.g. exogenous), very little attention has been paid to the case of stochastic uncertainty. Yet this arises naturally in many control applications, for example when models are identified using least squares procedures. More generally, stochastic uncertainty is a salient feature in other key areas of human endeavour, such as sustainable development. Sustainability refers to the strategy of encouraging development at current time without compromising the potential for development in the future. Inevitably, modelling the effects of sustainable development policy over a horizon of say 30 years involves a very significant random element, which has to be taken into account when assessing the optimality of any proposed policy. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is ideally suited for generating constrained optimal solutions and as such would be an ideal tool for policy assessment. However, this calls first for suitable extensions to the stochastic case. The aim of this paper is to review some of the recent advances in this area, and to provide a pilot study that demonstrates the efficacy of stochastic predictive control as a tool for assessing policy in a sustainable development problem concerning allocation of public research and development budgets between alternative power generation technologies. This problem has been considered in earlier work, but only in the context of a single-shot, open-loop optimisation. Similarly, the consideration of stochastic predictive control methodologies has previously been restricted to general hypothetical control problems. The current paper brings together this body of work, proposes suitable extensions, and concludes with a closed-loop study of predictive control applied to a sustainable development policy assessment problem. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
