Abstract
A system and method for model-based control of a the physical system, based on a computer simulation model approximating operating characteristics of at least a portion of the plurality of components and having one or more model parameters for adjusting a modeled operating characteristic of at least one of the plurality of components is provided. In the system and method at least one active input parameter for the physical system is generated based on current values for the model parameters and the computer simulation model and at least one measured system parameter value and at least one modeled system parameter value are obtained for measuring the performance of physical system responding to the active input parameter. The system and method also evaluate a difference between the measured system parameter value and the modeled system parameter value and update the current values for the model parameters to minimize the difference.
