The process consists of a continuously stirred tank, where aqueous solutions streams of acetic acid and of sodium hydroxide are mixed together. The main challenge of a successful control strategy for this process arises mainly from its non-linear behavior. The paper will show how to handle such non-linearity efficiently by introducing an augmented output and an optimization based control. Simulation results will be given to demonstrate the behavior of the proposed control strategy.

This makes the CSTR one of the most difficult industrial units for control and the system instability or thermal runaway indicate that the safety issues must also be taken into account. In comparison to the real reactor, a hybrid system is safe and less expensive alternative for testing new concepts in control. In this paper, we consider a hybrid reactor that consist of a jacketed vessel and LabVIEW based real-time simulator of a chemical reaction. To make the hybrid reactor a highly nonlinear benchmark plant, the system parameters must be carefully selected. Instead of making time consuming experiments, the preliminary simulation tests would be helpful in selection of the process parameters. For this purpose three models of various complexity for the real hybrid reactor are developed. We show that an overall heat transfer coefficient cannot be assumed constant to obtain a good agreement between the simulation results and the measurement data. The paper also presents the influence of the coefficient on the dynamical behavior of the hybrid reactor based on the bifurcation analysis.","PeriodicalId":377619,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124399025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system of lactose and salt in water is studied with the separation aim being concentration of lactose and simultaneous removal of salt. The most crucial part of the model is dependence of permeation rate on concentrations of components. Two models from literature and one data-based model are fitted to experimental data. An optimal control problem (OCP) is formulated to minimize processing time using diluant-to-permeate flow ratio as the control input. The optimal control strategy is found analytically and verified using numerical methods of dynamic optimization. The resulting processing times and the optimal input profiles are compared between all the models. Simulation case study confirms the attractiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":377619,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"218 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115982532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem is addressed to two types of controllers, finite order PI and infinite order Internal Model Controller (IMC) with the delay compensation. For the PI a classical finite order feedback known as back-calculation method is utilized, whereas for the IMC, a novel functional feedback is proposed. For both the cases, the feedback setting is optimized with respect to minimizing the IAE criterion. The analysis is performed on a dimensionless form of the model so that the results are valid to a broad class of systems. For both PI and IMC, the ‘optimal’ dynamics of the anti-windup loop is of first order with the time constant being close to the time constant of the plant model.","PeriodicalId":377619,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123788465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The non-linear mathematical model of Ball & Plate structure is presented and adequately linearized. Polynomial approach to controller design for two degrees of freedom (2DOF) controller structure is introduced as the main tool for determination of unknown parameters. This method requires placing poles of characteristic polynomial, which are semi-optimally determined using minimization of linear quadratic criterion. This criterion is minimized by spectral factorization with the aid of the Polynomial Toolbox for MATLAB. Experiments have proved that this type of controller is able to stabilize the ball in desired position on the plate, reject external disturbances and follow reference path without much effort. In addition, a simple maze was created on the plate to extend possibilities of the choice of reference signal. The algorithm is able to determine correct path through the maze and navigate the ball along this path.","PeriodicalId":377619,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on Process Control (PC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126889352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
