This paper presents the development of an distributed optimal predictive control (DOMPC), this controller is based on the centralized optimal predictive control (OMPC) and the dual-mode predictive control. This adaptation encompasses the partition of the system in s subsystems and the distributed optimization of the control signals. It is assumed that the controllers are connected by a local area network, which introduces a communication delay of one sampling instant. The proposed scheme is applied to a 4 tanks benchmark system and it is compared with the centralized OMPC scheme.
