In pH reactors, determination and control of pH is a common problem concerning chemical-based industrial processes due to the non-linearity observed in the titration curve. We introduced a modified multiregional fuzzybased control system to overcome the complexity of precise control of pH. In order to compensate for the experimental inaccuracies in measurements of pH in-situ values; an observer...

The objective of this contribution is to discuss some aspects of system identification of cascade systems. Models of such systems are important in for example cascade control applications. We will restrict our attention to systems with one input signal and two output signals. First, we will analyze some fundamental limitations regarding the statistical properties of such estimates, and in parti...

In this paper, we consider the L∞-bounded robust control problem for a class of nonlinear cascade systems with disturbances. Sufficient conditions are provided under which a hard bound is imposed on the system performance measure. The backstepping approach is used for controller design. Examples are provided to illustrate the method. Key-words. Nonlinear cascade systems, L∞ bound, robust contro...

This paper studies output feedback control of pure-feedback systems with immeasurable states and completely non-affine property. Since availability of all the states is usually impossible in the actual process, we assume that just the system output is measurable and the system states are not available. First, to estimate the immeasurable states a state observer is designed. Relatively fewer res...

A part of the immune system that improves (complements) the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microorganisms and injured cells from an organism, attacks the pathogen's cell membrane, and encourages inflammation called complement system. It is main part of immune system. Over thirty proteins and protein pieces compose the complement system, including cell membrane receptors, an...

Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a popular manufacturing technique that produces fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In this paper, a model-assisted flow front control system is developed based on real-time estimation of permeability/porosity ratio using the information acquired by a visualization system. In the proposed control system, a radial basis function (RBF) network meta-model is ...

The paper presents a feedback control of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) scheme for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) process in combined-cycle (CC) power plants. The SCR process is to reduce NOx emission at the CC power plants, prior to venting into the atmosphere by decomposing process using Ammonia (NH3) at the SCR catalysts. This process can be considered as a nonlinear with time delay s...

Steer-by-wire is the electrical steering systems on vehicles that are expected with the development of an optimal control system can improve the dynamic performance of the vehicle. This paper aims to optimize the control systems, namely Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) and the Proportional, Integral and Derivative (PID) control on the vehicle steering system using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (IC...

In view of problems of obtaining and tracking given value of the supply water temperature of secondary network in central heating system, a fuzzy control strategy composed of fuzzy control and fuzzy parameter self-tuning PID in series was proposed. For a specific project, a monitoring and control system formed of wired and wireless network was built to meet the overall monitoring requirement of...
