Control Design of a Nonlinear Multivariable Process
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The paper presents an effective procedure for control design of multi input – multi output nonlinear processes. The procedure is based on an approximation of a nonlinear model of the process by a continuoustime external linear model in the form of the left polynomial matrix fraction. The parameters of the continuoustime external linear model are recursively estimated either by a direct method or through an external delta model. The control system structure with two feedback controllers is used. The controllers are derived using the explicit pole assignment method. The control is simulated on the nonlinear model of two conic liquid tanks in series.
