The main benefit of model predictive control (MPC)Model Predictive Control (MPC) is its ability to steer the system to a given referenceReference without violating the constraints while minimizing some objective. Furthermore, a suitably designed MPC controllerController guarantees asymptotic stabilityStability of the closed-loop system to the given referenceReference as long as its optimizationOptimization problem is feasibleFeasible at the initial state of the system. Therefore, one of the limitations of classical MPC is that changing the referenceReference may lead to an unfeasibleFeasible MPC problem. Furthermore, due to a lack of deep knowledge of the system, it is possible for the user to provide a desired reference that is unfeasible or non-attainable for the MPC controller, leading to the same problem. This chapter summarizes MPC formulations recently proposed that have been designed to address these issues. In particular, thanks to the addition of anArtificial artificial referenceArtificial reference as decision variable, the formulations achieve asymptotic stabilityStability and recursive feasibility guarantees regardless of the referenceReference provided by the user, even if it is changed online or if it violates the system constraints. We show a recent formulation which extends this idea, achieving better performancePerformance and larger domains of attraction when working with small prediction horizons. Additional benefits of these formulations, when compared to classical MPC, are also discussed and highlighted with illustrative examples.
