Modelling and Non-linear Control Design for Coupled Twin Tank Level Process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The liquid level control in Coupled Tank System is a basic problem in process industries. Many times the liquids will be processed by chemical or mixing treatment in the tanks, but always the level of fluid in the tanks must be controlled and the flow between tanks must be regulated in presence of non-linearity, disturbance and time varying system parameters. The control of liquid level in tanks presents a challenging problem due to its non-linear behavior. This paper deals with non-linear control designs using higher order Sliding Mode Control (SMC). For the consideration of non-linearity and to realize level position regulating and tracking control, a non-linear Integral Sliding Mode Control (ISMC) is used which guarantees the asymptotic stability of closed loop system and reduce the chattering problem associated with Standard Sliding Mode Control (SSMC). The goal of the control algorithm is to track the desired level of liquid in second tank by using flow rate of liquid into first tank as the manipulated variable.

متن کاملModelling and Design Aspects of PI Controller for Coupled Tank Process
In industry, liquids such as water and chemicals are used in various processes. The amount of such liquids stored can be found by measuring level of the liquid in a container or tank. The level affects not only the quantity delivered but also pressure and rate of flow in and out of the container. Often the tanks are so coupled together that the levels interact and exhibits a nonlinear behaviour...

متن کاملAnalysis and Design of a Simple Surge Tank (RESEARCH NOTE)
In a hydroelectric power plant or in a pumping station in order to avoid sudden large increase of pressure due to instantaneous valve closure sometimes a surge tank is installed. The height of surge tank is designed by the highest possible water level during the operation. The theoretical treatment of oscillation in a surge tank is difficult because of the non-linearity of friction term in the ...
