Physical-model Based Control: Experiments with a Stirred-tank Heater
نویسنده
چکیده
In the pursuit of generic methods, control theory has become separated from its prime objective: the control of physical systems. These generic techniques have a wide range of applications yet do not easily allow inclusion of system speci c information into the control design. There are two important categories for which the inclusion of system-speci c information is important: partially-known systems and nonlinear systems. Physical Model-Based Control (PMBC) is a novel approach to using such system-speci c information. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the experimental application of PMBC to a partially-known nonlinear system. In so doing, the performance of the PMBC method is evaluated, and it is demonstrated how process and control engineering insights can be combined within this PMBC framework to yield a novel system-speci c control algorithm.

A continuous stirred tank heater simulation model with applications
This article presents a first principles simulation of a continuous stirred tank heater pilot plant at the University of Alberta. The model has heat and volumetric balances, and a very realistic feature is that instrument, actuator and process non-linearities have been carefully measured, for instance to take account of the volume occupied by heating coils in the tank. Experimental data from st...
