A predictive control algorithm based on locally linear model tree model (LOLIMOT) is implemented to control a fossil fuel power unite. The controller is a non-model based system that uses a LOLIMOT identifier to predict the response of the plant in a future time interval. An evolutionary programming (EP) approach, optimizes the identifierpredicted outputs and determines input sequence in a time window. This intelligent system provides a predictive control of multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems with slow time variation.
