Abstract
This paper discuss some practical aspects of implementing Model Predictive Control project in real plant. First part presents in brief the background of application of model predictive control and linear programming optimizer of multiple boilers load in boiler house with general description of requirements and expectations. This introduction to real plant problems is followed by model predictive control project life cycle description. Next chapter contains selected topics which are not directly related to the control algorithms but are crucial factors of project success. Overview of possibilities of Connoisseur follows as an example of the commercial tool which supports main part of the project life cycle and is able to perform model predictive control and linear programming optimization tasks in real process environment. Last chapter describes possibilities of external tool integration with basic process control system.
