Summary:•Methods for the design of economic model predictive control (EMPC) systems.•Discussion of closed-loop stability and performance properties of various EMPC methods.•Demonstration of applicability and closed-loop properties of EMPC methods using a nonlinear chemical process example.•Broad literature review and perspective with respect to current industrial practice. An overview of the recent results on economic model predictive control (EMPC) is presented and discussed addressing both closed-loop stability and performance for nonlinear systems. A chemical process example is used to provide a demonstration of a few of the various approaches. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the current status of EMPC and future research directions to promote and stimulate further research potential in this area.
