Controller Design for Serial Processes

چکیده
In this paper we aim at obtaining insight into how a multivariable feedback controller works, with special attention to serial processes. Serial processes are important in the process industry, and the structure of this process makes it simple to classify the different elements of the multivariable controller. In particular, we focus on the difference between the feedforward and feedback parts of the controller. Feedforward control may improve the performance significantly, but is sensitive to uncertainty, especially at low frequencies. Feedback control is very effective at lower frequencies where high feedback gains are allowed. An example of neutralization of an acid in a series of three tanks is used to illustrate the ideas.

A Unified IMC based PI/PID Controller Tuning Approach for Time Delay Processes
This paper proposes a new PI/PID controller tuning method within filtered Smith predictor (FSP) configuration in order to deal with various types of time delay processes including stable, unstable and integrating delay dominant and slow dynamic processes. The proposed PI/PID controller is designed based on the IMC principle and is tuned using a new constraint and without requiring any approxima...
متن کاملAnti-swing Fuzzy Controller Design for a 3D Overhead Crane
This paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3D overhead crane. Load must track a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.The proposed method uses PID control for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the load swing. Only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. No plant information of cran...

متن کاملAdaptive 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...
