PROCESS DESIGN AND CONTROL Comparison of Various Control Configurations for Continuous Bioreactors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Five control configurations for continuous bioreactors are analyzed using a simple model. A controller-independent measure, the partial disturbance gain, is used for evaluating their controllability with respect to disturbance rejection. The computation of the partial disturbance gain is generalized to the case with several uncontrolled outputs. At substrate-limited growth conditions, the concentration turbidostat using the feed substrate concentration as the manipulated variable is the best control configuration. The conventional turbidostat should be avoided. When the cell growth is not substrate limited, all these control configurations are effective except the concentration nutristat which is not feasible regardless if the growth is substrate limited or not.

Fault-Tolerant Control of a Nonlinear Process with Input Constraints
A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...

Satellite thermal control ensures safe operating temperature ranges for satellite components throughout the mission life. Effects of altitude, spin, and position of satellite radiator(s) on the thermal control of a small Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite have been studied. Results show that change in satellite altitude, in the range considered here, does not produce critical thermal conditions. H...
متن کاملMonitoring process variability: a hybrid Taguchi loss and multiobjective genetic algorithm approach
The common consideration on economic model is that there is knowledge about the risk of occurrence of an assignable cause and the various cost parameters that does not always adequately describe what happens in practice. Hence, there is a need for more realistic assumptions to be incorporated. In order to reduce cost penalties for not knowing the true values of some parameters, this paper aims ...
متن کاملAdaptive Extremum Seeking Control of Continuous Stirred Tank Bioreactors
In this paper, we present an adaptive extremum seeking control scheme for continuous stirred tank bioreactors. The proposed adaptive extremum seeking approach utilizes the structure information of the kinetics of the bioreactors to construct a seeking algorithm that drives the system states to the desired set-points that extremize the value of an objective function. Lyapunov’s stability theorem...
متن کاملAdaptive Control of a Fermentation Bioprocess for Lactic Acid Production
This paper presents the design and the analysis of an indirect adaptive control strategy for a lactic acid production, which is carried out in continuous stirred tank bioreactors. Firstly, an indirect adaptive control structure based on the nonlinear process model is derived by combining a linearizing control law with a new parameter estimator. This estimator is used for on-line estimation of t...
