Qft Robust Control of a Wastewater Treatment Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the wastewater treatment process control using QFT (Quantitative Feedback Theory) techniques. The aim of the control is to obtain an effluent having the substrate concentration within the standard limits established by law (under 20 mg/l). It has been admitted variable operating regimes in large limits. Three main regimes have been taken into account: rain, normal, and drought. In these conditions two aspects were considered: a QFT controller designed to assure good properties for the three regimes mentioned before; a control structure that adjusts the dissolved oxygen setpoint as a function of the influent regime. The purpose is to stabilize the operating regime with respect to the quality variable (the effluent substrate concentration) and the command variable (the dilution rate). Copyright © 2005 IFAC

Enhancement of Robust Tracking Performance via Switching Supervisory Adaptive Control
When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the unce...
متن کاملEvaluation of Control Techniques Applied on a Wastewater Treatment Process with Activated Sludge
Wastewater treatment processes with activated sludge are described in the specialized literature by complex models with nonlinear parameterization, such as for example Activated Sludge Model ASM1, ASM2 or ASM3. Under these conditions, the design of control structures using the state space representation is very difficult. Suitable techniques to approach the control of these processes are using ...
متن کاملA New Approach for QFT-type Robust Controller Design in Uncertain Multivariable Systems
This paper presents a robust controller design methodology for a class of linear uncertain multivariable systems with hard time-domain constraints on their outputs and control signals in response to step disturbance inputs. In this approach, the m×m MIMO system is replaced by m2 SISO systems and then, using the QFT technique, desirable controllers are synthesized. The final controller will be d...

Natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. In this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. The design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. The dynamics of the plate i...
