In this study, the discrete-time identification approach based on subspace method with N4SID algorithm is applied to construct the state space model around a given operating point, by probing the system in open-loop with variation of input signals. Three practical approaches are used and their performances are compared to obtain the most suitable approach for modeling of such a system. The models are also tested in the real-time implementation of a linear model predictive control. The selected model is able to well reproduce the main dynamic characteristics of gaseous pilot plant in open loop and produces zero steady-state errors in closed loop control system. Several issues concerning the identification process and the construction of MIMO state space model are discussed. {\^A}{\copyright} 2009 AACC.}, issn = {07431619}, author = {Wibowo, T. C.
