Nonlinear adaptive switching control for a class of non-affine nonlinear systems

An improved nonlinear adaptive switching control method is presented to relax the assumption on the higher order nonlinear terms of a class of discrete-time non-affine nonlinear systems. The proposed control strategy is composed of a linear adaptive controller, a neural network (NN) based nonlinear adaptive controller and a switching mechanism. An incremental model is derived to represent the considered system and an improved robust adaptive law is chosen to update the parameters of the linear adaptive controller. A new performance criterion of the switching mechanism is designed to select the proper controller. Using this control scheme, all the signals in the system are proved to be bounded. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A DIRECT NONLINEAR ADAPTIVE CONTROL OF STATE FEEDBACK LINEARIZABLE SYSTEMS

A direct nonlinear adaptive control of state feedback linearizable single-input single-output systems is proposed in the case when parametric uncertainties are represented linearly in the unknown parameters. The main feature of the proposed nonlinear adaptive control system is that the linearizing coordinate transformation and the state feedback are updated by parametric adaptive law, derived using the second method of Lyapunov. The proposed adaptive control scheme is relatively straightforward and simple in the sense that it does not use the concept of augmented error. This adaptive control scheme is numerically applied to an exothermic chemical reactor system and is compared with the nonadaptive stale feedback linearization which has an integral action. The simulation shows that the proposed adaptive control scheme can be applied effectively to highly nonlinear, uncertain chemical systems.

Modeling of the solubility of solid solutes in supercritical CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> with and without cosolvent using solution theory

In this work, regular solution theory was applied to study the solubility of solids in a supercritical fluid (SCF) with and without cosolvent, and a new model for binary and ternary systems was proposed. The activity coefficient can be obtained from the model and the solubility can then be calculated easily. For a binary system there are two adjustable parameters and for a ternary system, four adjustable parameters; the parameters are related to the interactions between molecules in solution. The proposed model was compared with the HSVDW1 and HSVDW2 models. The calculated results show that the proposed model is more accurate, and the AAD for the three models is 4.5%, 7.9% and 18.5%, respectively. The model was further used to correlate the solubility data of 2-naphthol in SC CO₂ with and without cosolvent measured by us before, and the overall AAD is 3.23%.     

A self-tuning control method for Wiener nonlinear systems and its application to process control problems

Many chemical processes can be modeled as Wiener models, which consist of a linear dynamic subsystem follow-ed by a static nonlinear block. In this paper, an effective discrete-time adaptive control method is proposed for Wiener nonlinear systems with uncertainties. The parameterization model is derived based on the inverse of the nonlinear function block. The adaptive control method is motivated by self-tuning control and is derived from a modified Clarke criterion function, which considers both tracking properties and control efforts. The un-certain parameters are updated by a recursive least squares algorithm and the control law exhibits an explicit form. The closed-loop system stability properties are discussed. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results, two groups of simulation examples including an application to composition control in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system are studied.

Inferential Control of Reactive Destillation Columns – An Algorithmic Approach

Decentralized control system design comprises the selection of a suitable control structure and controller parameters. Here, mixed integer optimization is used to determine the optimal control structure and the optimal controller parameters simultaneously. The process dynamics is included explicitly into the constraints using a rigorous nonlinear dynamic process model. Depending on the objective function, which is used for the evaluation of competing control systems, two different formulations are proposed which lead to mixed‐integer dynamic optimization (MIDO) problems. A MIDO solution strategy based on the sequential approach is adopted in the present paper. Here, the MIDO problem is decomposed into a series of nonlinear programming (NLP) subproblems (dynamic optimization) where the binary variables are fixed, and mixed‐integer linear programming (MILP) master problems which determine a new binary configuration for the next NLP subproblem. The proposed methodology is applied to inferential control of reactive distillation columns as a challenging benchmark problem for chemical process control.     

FEEDBACK LINEARIZATION DESIGNS FOR UNCERTAIN NONLINEAR TIME-DELAY PROCESSES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

This work concerns the phenomena in which the feedback linearization control is applied to uncertain nonlinear time-delay processes. Under the I/O linearization algorithm, both nonlinear controllers are used to stabilize the closed-loop system with transformed delay inputs. When the effect of input perturbations can converge to zero or asymptotically vanish, these nonlinear feedback designs with only an adjustable parameter can directly improve the tracking performance. The simple linearizing controller can directly regulate the system output at unstable operating point. Combined with deadtime compensation the nonlinear predictive controller with the aid of appropriate state prediction is valid for the real process in the presence of large time delay. Finally, via computer simulation and test of control ability of both feedback control designs the useful comparative results are presented.     

Control strategies for thermal budget and temperature uniformity in spike rapid thermal processing systems

Single wafer rapid thermal processing (RTP) is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing. A precisely applied thermal budget during RTP is crucial and relies on the temperature control of the wafer. However, temperature control in the RTP system with a spike-shaped temperature profile is a challenging task, and achieving perfect servo control is almost impossible because of the high temperature ramp-up/down rate and substantial nonlinearity of the process. This paper presents a novel method of control system design to provide a precise thermal budget in the spike RTP system. By tuning controller parameters and designing the set-point profile, the method targets thermal budget indices instead of temperature servo control. A nonlinear control strategy is proposed based on modeling the RTP system as a nonlinear Wiener model. Furthermore, a multivariable control structure is considered to maintain the temperature uniformity within the wafer. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy and provide helpful guidelines for the design of a multivariable control configuration to achieve superior wafer temperature uniformity.

Nonlinear robust optimization for process design

A novel robust optimization framework is proposed to address general nonlinear problems in process design. Local linearization is taken with respect to the uncertain parameters around multiple realizations of the uncertainty, and an iterative algorithm is implemented to solve the problem. Furthermore, the proposed methodology can handle different categories of problems according to the complexity of the problems. First, inequality‐only constrained optimization problem as studied in most existing robust optimization methods can be addressed. Second, the proposed framework can deal with problems with equality constraint associated with uncertain parameters. In the final case, we investigate problems with operation variables which can be adjusted according to the realizations of uncertainty. A local affinely adjustable decision rule is adopted for the operation variables (i.e., an affine function of the uncertain parameter). Different applications corresponding to different classes of problems are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear robust optimization framework. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 481–494, 2018
