Almost all industrial processes exhibit nonlinear dynamics, however most model predictive control (MPC) applications are based on linear models. Linear models do not always give a sufficiently adequate representation of the system and therefore Nonlinear Model Predictive control (NMPC) techniques have to be used. In this article, two techniques of NMPC, namely successive linearization nonlinear model predictive control (SLNMPC) and wiener nonlinear model predictive control (WNMPC) are applied to nonlinear process systems. The major advantage of the two methods being that the NMPC problem is reduced to a linear model predictive control (LMPC) problem at each time step which thereafter allows the optimization problem to be solved using quadratic programming (QP) techniques. Another advantage of these methods is the reduced computational time in calculating the control effort which makes them suitable for online implementation. Both simulation and experimental results show the superiority of the SLNMPC over WNMPC in handling process nonlinearity. The work also shows the favourable performance of the NMPC over LMPC, as expected.

The paper presents a fuzzy control based on parallel distributed fuzzy controllers for a heat exchanger. First, a TakagiSugeno fuzzy model is employed to represent a system. Each subcontroller is LQR designed and provides local optimal solutions. The stability of the system with the proposed fuzzy controllers is discussed. Finally, simulation results illustrate the validity and applicability of the presented approach.

The paper presents a method for design of robust PI controllers for systems with interval uncertainty. The proposed method combines the method based on plotting the stability boundary locus in the (kp, k i)-plane with the poleplacement method. The designed approach is verified by simulations. It is implemented for robust PI controller design for the continuous stirred tank reactor with hydrolysis of propylene oxide to propylene glycol. The reactor has three uncertain parameters: the reaction enthalpy, the pre-exponential factor and the overall heat transfer coefficient. The control input is the volumetric flow rate of the coolant and the controlled output is the temperature of the reacting mixture. Mathematical model of the reactor has been obtained in the form of the 4th order transfer function with interval polynomials in the numerator and the denominator. The sixteen Kharitonov plants were created for the reactor and the method based on plotting the stability boundary locus in the plane of controller parameters combined with the poleplacement method is used for robust PI controller design.

The conventional process monitoring procedure using principal component analysis (PCA) can show which variable is highly related with the fault by looking at the contribution plots for the monitoring statistics, SPE (squared prediction errors) and T 2 . However, this procedure is not able to determine if the variable is just affected by the fault or the variable is the cause of the fault. In addition, it is not able to show fault propagation through the process variables during the process time. The proposed progressive PCA modeling procedure can identify all variables related to the fault through progressively removing the identified variables and PCA modeling with the remaining variables. It can also provide timing information of when abnormal behaviors are observed for the identified variables by using time series SPE plots with control limits estimated by weighted chi-squared distribution. Based on the timing information, it is able to build a flow chart showing the fault propagation paths. The proposed method is demonstrated on a benchmark fed-batch penicillin process simulator.

The paper presents an approach to PI controller design for systems with varying time delay, which can be interpreted as systems with interval parametric uncertainty. The transfer function of the controlled system is modified by approximation of the time delay term by its Pade expansion or Taylor expansion in the numerator. PI controllers, that are able to assure robust stability of the feedback closed loop with the modified controlled system are found by the graphical method. Then the pole-placement method is used to specify those controller parameters, which assure certain quality of the control performance. Designed PI controllers are implemented using PLC SIMATIC S7-300 and tested by experiments on a laboratory electronic equipment with varying time delay.
