EV_TYPE applies a specific objective function. Linear is an l1-norm, or in other words the solver minimizes the sum of the absolute value of the difference between the CV and the set point. Squared is an l2-norm or sum squared error (SSE), or in other words the solver minimizes the sum of the squared difference between the CV and the set point. l1-norm can be useful when noise or measurement error is expected because it better rejects those. Option 3 is not typically used as an approximate absolute value function that uses a nonlinear function instead of slack variables.
