Abstract: This paper focuses on the design and evaluation of a robust explicit moving horizon controller and a robust explicit moving horizon estimator for a batch polymerization process. It is of particular interest since there are currently no reported case studies or implementations of the explicit parametric controller/estimator for batch and polymerization processes. In this paper we aim at achieving tight offset-free tracking of a desired reactor temperature profile, making accurate states estimation despite of the possible perturbations, and demonstrating the practical applicability to a case with industrially relevant complexity.
