The use of quasi-LPV modeling allows us to recast the nonlinear optimization problem arising in NMPC, as a repeated quadratic program which can be solved efficiently. The difference between the two presented schemes lies in the modeling paradigm chosen to express the dynamics of the system, namely state space (SS) or input-output (IO) frameworks. In both cases, quasi-LPV models are obtained by performing a velocity-based linearization, which results in an exact representation of the nonlinear dynamics and enables offset free control. Both schemes are successfully implemented on a laboratory CMG, and the experimental results are compared and discussed. Furthermore, advantages and disadvantages of each control scheme are examined.en2405-8963201928146151Elsevierhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/IngenieurwissenschaftenJournal Article10.15480/882.341510.1016/j.ifacol.2019.12.36210.15480/882.3415Other
