Abstract
A control framework generates control parameters for controlling operation of a physical system, and includes one or more embedded models each producing a model output corresponding to a different operating parameter of the system as a function of one or more system operating conditions and/or a number of solution parameters, objective logic producing a scalar performance metric as a function of the number model outputs and of one or more system performance target values, objective optimization logic determining a number of unconstrained solution parameters in a manner that minimizes the scalar performance metric, and solution constraining logic determining the number of solution parameters from the number of unconstrained solution parameters in a manner that limits an operating range of at least one of the unconstrained solution parameters. The control parameters may correspond to one of the number of unconstrained solution parameters or to the number of solution parameters.
