Abstract

A system according to the principles of the present disclosure includes a model predictive control (MPC) module and an actuator module. The MPC module generates predicted parameters based on a model of a subsystem and a set of possible target values. The MPC module generates a cost for the set of possible target values based on the predicted parameters and at least one of weighting values and references values. The MPC module adjusts the at least one of the weighting values and the reference values based on a desired rate of change in an operating condition of the subsystem. The MPC module selects the set of possible target values from multiple sets of possible target values based on the cost. The actuator module adjusts an actuator of the subsystem based on at least one of the target values.
