In the proposed scheme, two multivariable controllers are designed based on Internal Model Control (IMC) theory for setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection independently. An analytical approximation method is utilized to reduce the order of the controllers. By adjusting the corresponding controller parameter, the setpoint tracking and disturbance rejection of each control loop can be tuned independently. In the presence of multiplicative input uncertainty, a calculation method is also proposed to derive the low bounds of the control parameters in order to guarantee the robust stability of the system. Simulations are illustrated to demonstrate the validity of the proposed control scheme.展开更多

It is found that a complicated function involved in governing equations can be approached by Taylor polynomials unlimitedly, which leads to the simplification of governing equations. The unknown functions involved in governing equations can then be approximated by Chebyshev polynomials. The coefficients of Chebyshev polynomials are determined and an asymptotic solution is obtained. With the asymptotic solution, the dehydration and freezing fronts of materials are evaluated easily, and are consistent with numerical results obtained by using an explicit finite difference method.展开更多

Due to the existence of strong coupling between the level loop and the product density loop, and high nonlinearities in the process, the conventional control strategy cannot achieve satisfactory control performance, and thus the production demand cannot be met. In this paper, an intelligent decoupling PID controller including conventional PID controllers, a decoupling compensator and a neural feedforward compensator is proposed. The parameters of such controller are determined by generalized predictive control law. Real-time experiment results show that the proposed method can decouple the loops effectively and thus improve the evaporation efficiency.展开更多
