Successive Linearization-based Stochastic Repetitive Control Technique and its Applications to SMB and CATOFIN Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A repetitive control technique which is based on a time-varying stochastic state space model obtained by cycle-to-cycle linearization of a nonlinear fundamental process model around the operation trajectories in the previous cycle is introduced. The control technique was applied to two repetitive chemical processes: simulated moving bed, a continuous chromatograph separation process, and CATOFIN process, a catalytic propane dehydrogenation reactor where dehydrogenation and coke oxidation alternate over short periods. Numerical studies have shown that the proposed RC techniques are very effective in improving the operation of both processes.

Adaptive Input-Output Linearization Control of pH Processes
pH control is a challenging problem due to its highly nonlinear nature. In this paper the performances of two different adaptive global linearizing controllers (GLC) are compared. Least squares technique has been used for identifying the titration curve. The first controller is a standard GLC based on material balances of each species. For implementation of this controller a nonlinear state...

This paper proposes an adaptive control method based on the feedback linearization technique and a proposed neural network, for tracking and position control of an industrial manipulator. At first, it is assumed that the dynamics of the system are known and the control signal is constructed by the feedback linearization method. Then to eliminate the effects of the uncertainties and external d...

متن کاملRepetitive control and online optimization of Catofin propane process
The Catofin propane process is an emerging industrial process for propylene production through dehydrogenation of propane. It is composed of multiple adiabatic fixed-bed reactors which undergo cyclic operations where propane dehydrogenation and catalyst regeneration alternate over roughly ten minute period for each. One of the major concerns in the operation of the Catofin process is maintainin...
