A Simplified Probing Controller For Glucose Feeding In phEscherichia Coli Cultivations

Authors:

Mats AAkesson, Per Hagander,

Volume: 1, Page 4520 Paper number 1890

Abstract:

A strategy for control of the glucose feed rate in cultivations of phE.~coli is discussed. By making probing pulses in the feed rate it is possible to detect and avoid a characteristic saturation linked to undesirable by-product formation. A simplification of a previous algorithm is presented and analyzed.

Observers for the Biotechnological Processes with Unknown Kinetics: Application to Wastewater Treatment

Authors:

Olivier Bernard, Zakaria Hadj-Sadok, Jean-Luc Gouzé,

Volume: 1, Page 4526 Paper number 1489

Abstract:

In this paper we present nonlinear observers for a class of biotechnological processes. These observers are an extension of the asymptotic observers (observers with unknown inputs) devoted to biotechnological systems for which some parts of the model are unknown. We take benefit of the outputs which are non linear functions of the state to design a close loop observer. The global convergence of these nonlinear observers is proven. The method is illustrated with an experimental application to a water treatment process.

Robust Interval-Based SISO and SIMO Regulation for a Class of Highly Uncertain Bioreactors: Application to the Anaerobic Digestion

Authors:

Víctor Alcaraz-González, Abdelmalek Maloum, Jér^ome Harmand, Alain Rapaport, Jean-Philippe Steyer, Víctor González-Alvarez,

Volume: 1, Page 4532 Paper number 1677

Abstract:

A robust set-valued regulation law is proposed for the stabilization of an anaerobic digester for the treatment of wastewater. This process exhibits a highly nonlinear dynamic behavior. In addition, it must operate in an uncertain environment with the presence of unknown inputs. Supporting some structural and operational conditions, this regulation law exponentially stabilizes the two most important variables in the anaerobic digester: the Chemical Oxygen Demand concentration and the Volatile Fatty Acids concentration around a desirable steady state in the presence of kinetic uncertainties and input disturbances. Simulations are carried out handling operational conditions close to those used in a real plant.

Adaptive Output Feedback Nonlinear Control of a pH Process with an Input Constraint

Authors:

Tae-Sik Kang, Tae-Woong Yoon, Dae Ryook Yang, Seong-Sik Yoon,

Volume: 1, Page 4538 Paper number 1573

Abstract:

In this paper an adaptive output feedback nonlinear control scheme is presented for a pH process, which is difficult to control due to the nonlinearities and uncertainties. A nonlinear controller is designed using a backstepping technique to handle the pH process with an input constraint. The backstepping-based controller is combined with state and parameter estimators to deal with unmeasurable state variables and unknown parameters, thereby resulting in an adaptive output feedback nonlinear controller. The input constraint mentioned above is considered in the controller and estimator designs. The stability properties of the proposed scheme are given, and simulation results show that uniform closed-loop performance is obtained despite the nonlinearity, the uncertainties of the parameters, and the unavailability of the state variables.

Constrained Iterative Learning Control of Liquid Slosh in an Industrial Packaging Machine

Authors:

Mattias Grundelius, Bo Bernhardsson,

Volume: 1, Page 4544 Paper number 1423

Abstract:

This paper considers the problem of moving a container with liquid without too much slosh in an industrial packaging machine. There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine to use for control, it is however possible to measure the slosh in a testbed. The problem is to determine the shape of the open loop acceleration reference that is programmed in the motion control system that controls the movement of the containers. In this paper the acceleration reference is calculated using iterative learning control where the results of an experiment are used to refine the acceleration reference to be used in the next iteration.

Multi-Loop Control Of Temperature For TV Glass Furnace

Authors:

Un-Chul Moon, Kwang Y. Lee,

Volume: 1, Page 4550 Paper number 1956

Abstract:

This paper presents a practical application of the conventional multi-loop control method for the temperature control of a television glass furnace. To control the temperature of the TV glass furnace, major input-output variables are selected, and simple First-Order-Plus-Dead-Time(FOPDT)models are established with the process experimental data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop control, which is a combination of cascade and single loops, is used. Practical implementation using the Distributed Control System (DCS) showed satisfactory results of the proposed control algorithm for the 150-ton/day-production furnace.

Dual Composition Control Of A Binary Distillation Columns Based On Nonlinear State Observer

Authors:

Ferenc Szigeti, Addison Ríos-Bolívar, Leonardo Rennola,

Volume: 1, Page 4556 Paper number 9099

Abstract:

Dual composition control of binary distillation columns is proposed and solved based on observer design and an elementary state elimination procedure. A particular observer allows us to recover the unmeasured feed composition, which is used in the controller design in order to maintain desired compositions. The method is an alternative against the disturbance decoupling.
