To avoid overly conservative disturbance corrections while ensuring safe operation, random influences should be taken into account explicitly. We propose a multistage stochastic programming approach within the model predictive control framework and apply it to a distillation process with a feed tank buffering external sources. A preliminary comparison to a probabilistic constraints approach is given and first computational results for the distillation process are presented.}, language = {en} }
