A control oriented hybrid model structure combining first principles models with standard black-box techniques for modelling nonlinear dynamics of reaction systems is presented in this paper. The approach is formulated in a general framework for continuous stirred tank reactors and analyzed in details through a case study of a reactive distillation column. The approach is based on easily established mass balance equations, the stoichiometry of the system as well as model reduction techniques. The choice of combined inputs and the model structure is motivated by some general control objectives for this class of systems. A progressive identification of this model structure can be performed when a dominant part exists. The application to real process data is presented. This model structure has been successfully used in an IMC scheme for an industrial reactive distillation column.

The paper describes modelling and simulation of electric arc furnace (EAF) melting shop. This is a batch process and can be classified as a hybrid system in which discrete events such as material transportation operations and sequencing of the power supply to the furnace are combined with the continuous time melting of steel. The continuous part of the system is described by a nonlinear dynamic model. The discrete event part of the system is described by decision rules. The object oriented approach to the task of building the simulation model is outlined, and the specific requirements for the EAF melt shop problem are determined. Examples of using the simulation for solving problems in managing the furnace melt shop are presented.

A fault detection and isolation scheme for a brushless DC motor driving a mechanical actuation system is presented. First, a detailed mathematical model of the drive is derived. The residual generator is based on parity relations while the fault isolation part is implemented by means of the transferable belief model. The problem of distinguishing between faults with the same fault signatures is addressed. It is shown that additional improvements in terms of resolution can be achieved by employing parameter estimation. The proposed FDI scheme is tested on the actual drive under various faults. The achieved performance features the highest resolution, diagnostic stability and accuracy.

Cumulative capacity of ceramic rotating disk filters cannot be calculated using only steady-state capacity models, because the basin slurry density can undergo slow dynamic changes even if the feed slurry density remains constant. In this article, dynamic models are used to study the effects of slurry density changes on the cumulative capacity of a ceramic rotating disk filter. Simulation runs are used specifically to determine the effect of drum rotation speed and the effect of mounting gap length of filter cake scrapers on the cumulative capacity. The results of the simulations show that selecting of optimal rotation speed based on short period plant tests will not maximize the cumulative capacity. Usually maximum cumulative capacity is reached at clearly higher rotation speeds than maximum momentary capacity.

We consider the general decentralized stabilization problem of linear time-invariant, large-scale systems with delay interconnections. A sufficient condition for the stabilizability via a decentralized state feedback control law is derived, it is shown that this condition is equivalent to the existence of positive definite symmetric matrix solutions to a system of (parameters-dependent) Riccati equations at the subsystem level. Also, a construction for the decentralized stabilizing control law is given in terms of the solutions to the Riccati equations. A example is given to illustrate the proposed method, and a comparison with the existing methods is made.

Smith predictor has been proved to be a useful scheme for stable processes with time delay. In this paper an analytical design method of Smith predictor is presented for integrator/time delay processes based on the theory of complex function. The design procedure incorporates a two-stage procedure. In the first stage, the controller that stabilizes the closed loop system is parameterized. In the second stage, high enough order Pade approximation is introduced to approximate the time delay, and convert the design problem of system with time delay to that of system without time delay. The optimal Smith predictor is then derived analytically. Examples are given to illustrate the method.

Currently, most commercial robot manipulators are equipped with conventional PID controllers due to their simplicity in structure and ease of design. Using such a controller, however, it is difficult to achieve a desired control performance since the dynamic equations of a mechanical manipulator are tightly coupled. In addition, they are highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper uses a new hybrid control scheme to control a direct drive two-link manipulator under inertial parameters changes. The proposed hybrid control scheme consists of a fuzzy logic proportional controller and a conventional integral and derivative controller (FUZZY P+ID). In comparison with a conventional PID controller, only one additional parameter has to be adjusted to tune the FUZZY P+ID controller. The outlined experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and the robustness of the new FUZZY P+ID controller.

A novel method for optimal on-line timing of washing periods in ceramic disk filters has been developed. This method called the imaginary average capacity trend method, is based on the use of an on-line ceramic filter model and process trend history data to estimate on-line optimal timing for the next washing period. The most important advantage of this method is its ability to generate satisfactory estimates for the optimal timing of washing periods in situations where the operating variables of the filter and/or properties of the feed slurry change dynamically during the operation period. In typical plant operation of ceramic disk filters, operation parameters are changed rather seldom, but feed slurry density can undergo large changes during an operation period. The principles of the developed on-line calculation method can also be applied to processes other than ceramic rotating disk filters.
