An Application of the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning Method to a Multivariable Process Control
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides an application of the virtual reference feedback tuning (VRFT) method to a process control. The VRFT method is a direct method which determines parameters of a feedback controller using a set of input and output data of a plant. Originally, the VRFT method is presented for designing a single-input single-output control system. In this paper, the VRFT method is applied for a design of a multi-input multi-output control system. Experimental results show availability of the VRFT method. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

Fictitious Reference Tuning Using Information in Frequency Domain
In this paper, an application method of Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT), which has been developed for controller gain tuning for single-input single-output systems, to state feedback gain tuning for single-input multivariable systems is proposed. Transient response data of a single-input multivariable plant obtained under closed-loop operation is used for model matching by the FRIT...

In this work, the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning is applied to the control of a boiler plant benchmark. Only data (without any modelling step) was used to compute a series of PI controllers for both a decentralized and a complete multi-loop control strategies. When compared with other PI controllers, it was found that a better tuning of the controller was achieved yielding better closed-loop...

متن کاملModified Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning and Its Application to Ultrasonic Motors
This paper proposes a virtual reference feedback tuning (VRFT) method that can compensate for a dead zone. To this end, first, by focusing on the control error, we modify the performance index such that it is minimized in VRFT. Then, we present analysis results pertaining to the optimality conditions and their related filters in the modified VRFT method. Next, a VRFT method with dead-zone compe...
