Generic model control — A case study

TLDR
In this article, a forced circulation single-stage evaporator is considered, and a process model derived from fundamental mass and energy balances is presented to outperform single loop and predictive control strategies by a significant amount.
Abstract
This paper outlines the use of a process model directly in a control algorithm. The process considered, a forced circulation single-stage evaporator, is a nonlinear interacting process. The control strategy employing a process model derived from fundamental mass and energy balances is shown to outperform single loop and predictive control strategies by a significant amount. The control structure is first presented in general form and then specifically applied to this process.

Critique of exact linearization strategies for process control

TL;DR: It is shown that many design techniques recently developed for non-linear process control are based, either implicitly or explicitly, on exact linearization of the input-output map, and Extensions of basic techniques that are especially pertinent for process control problems are reviewed and evaluated.

Strong tracking filter based adaptive generic model control

TL;DR: Based on the theory of Strong Tracking Filter (STF), a new approach to Adaptive Generic Model Control (AGMC) is proposed in this paper, and two AGMC schemes are developed The first is a parameter-estimation-based AGMC after introducing a new concept of Input Equivalent Disturbance (IED).

Generic model control of the specific growth rate in recombinant Escherichia coli cultivations.

TL;DR: Generic model control is shown to be a powerful tool for keeping a microbial cultivation process close to its predetermined (optimized) control profile, as demonstrated at the example of the green fluorescent protein expressed in genetically modified Escherichia coli host cells.

Paper: Model predictive heuristic control

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of digital process control is described, which relies on three principles: 1) the multivariable plant is represented by its impulse responses which will be used on line by the control computer for long range prediction; 2) the behavior of the closed-loop system is prescribed by means of reference trajectories initiated on the actual outputs; 3) the control variables are computed in a heuristic way with the same procedure used in identification, which appears as a dual of the control under this formulation.
