of more than 1600 high performance, main superconducting magnets of the Large Hadron
Collider (LHC)-the new particle accelerator at European Organization for Nuclear Research
(CERN). This paper presents a simulation study of the application of Nonlinear Model
Predictive Control (NMPC) to the Superfluid Helium Cryogenic Circuit. First, the new first
principles, distributed parameter model of the circuit to be used in online optimization is …
