Nonlinear Chemical Processes with Variable Dead Time: Comparative Robustness and Performance Analysis for Model Based Pbkp_redictive Schemes

Abstract:

The objective of this work is to make a comparison of three pbkp_redictive control schemes: A Robust Smith Pbkp_redictor and two kinds of model-based pbkp_redictive control (MPC) which were applied to a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). This process has an elevated and variable dead time due to the location of the temperature transmitter and the flow variation on which the delay depends. The performance of the controllers is tested under tracking and regulation conditions: change in the set point, persistent disturbance applied at a determined time. In the same way, the proposed control strategies are compared and analized each other using the robustness plot.
