Abstract: Abstract In the control field, most of the research papers focus on feedback control, but few of them have discussed about feedforward control. Therefore, a review of the most commonly used feedforward control algorithms in industrial processes is necessary to be carried out. In this paper, in order to benefit researchers and engineers with different academic backgrounds, two most representative kinds of feedforward controller design algorithms and some other typical industrial feedforward control benchmarks are presented together with their characteristics, application domains and informative comments for selection. Moreover, some frequently concerned problems of feedforward control are also discussed. An industrial data driven example is presented to show how feedforward controller works to improve system performance and achieve the maximum economic profits.
