    Notes: A new method to design adaptive, self-tuning controllers is presented that incorporates decoupling for multivariable control problems. The algorithm is shown to result from two very different derivations. The first approach employs multiple single-input/single-output self-tuning controllers but with a classical decoupling scheme incorporated; the second approach utilizes a novel selection of design parameters in an existing multivariable self-tuning control method. The decoupling self-tuning controller is capable of handling unknown or time-varying time delays. Simulation studies utilizing two distillation column models show that the controller can provide excellent control even for highly nonlinear and highly interacting processes.

    Notes: Two time delay compensation techniques, the Smith predictor and the analytical predictor, are used for bottom composition control of a pilot scale methanol-water distillation column. The closed-loop performance of the two predictor schemes is compared to that for a proportional-integral controller in experimental and simulation studies. The predictors resulted in improved control for both set point and feed flow disturbances.

    Notes: Selected state and/or output variables can be made undisturbable, i.e., invariant, to arbitrary, unmeasured changes in specific input variables by properly designed feedback and feedforward controllers. Simulation and experimental applications to a computer-controlled, pilot plant evaporator gave results superior to conventional controllers.Necessary and sufficient conditions for undisturbability are expressed in terms of the structure of the coefficient matrices of the state space model and equivalently of the corresponding eigenvector matrix. The design procedure normally includes arbitrary specification of all closed-loop eigenvalues and up to r elements of each eigenvector, where r is the number of control (manipulated) variables.

    Notes: A low-order modeling technique for separation processes is developed by considering a staged column as a compartment system in which a number of stage are lumped to form an equivalent stage. This method leads to low-order models of separation processes directly and without linearization. Moreover, the resulting models have state variables and parameters that are physically significant. In contrast to alternative model reduction methods, compartmental analysis guarantees preservation of both material balances and steady states for arbitrary changes in the input variables.A comparison of compartmental analysis to a recently proposed technique based on orthogonal collocation, both methods incorporating an equimolal overflow assumption, shows the efficiency and robustness of the compartmental method.

    Notes: Marshall's method of model reduction (1966) neglects the modes of the high order system which contribute little to the overall system response. This approach is extended to handle complex and/or repeated eigenvalues and is then modified so that pure time delays can be included in the control variables of the reduced order model. Open- and closed-loop examples show that the inclusion of the time delays tends to compensate for the eliminated modes and leads to better agreement between the high and low order models.

    Notes: In recent years there has been extensive interest in feedback control systems that automatically adjust their controller settings to compensate for changes in the process or the environment. Such systems are referred to as adaptive controllers. This survey paper reviews the current state of the art in adaptive control from a process control perspective and describes leading design techniques. Potential operating problems associated with adaptive control schemes are considered. A survey of experimental applications of adaptive control systems to process control problems is also included.

    Notes: A theoretical analysis has been performed to elucidate the relationship between two popular time delay compensation techniques, the Smith predictor and the analytical predictor. In general, use of these two techniques results in different closed-loop responses. It is only for the special case where the process model is perfect and set point changes occur, that the two techniques are equivalent. A modification of the analytical predictor has been proposed that allows the technique to be used with any feedback controller, instead of the special PI controller employed by Moore et al. (1970).

    Notes: A new self-tuning controller (STC) has been developed for a general class of nonlinear multiinput, multioutput process models. These models can include arbitrary, known nonlinear functions of the old inputs and outputs as well as the products of these functions and any powers of the most recent inputs. A very general control algorithm has been proposed that allows different numbers of inputs and outputs, different time delays for each input-output pair, and a performance index that can include different penalties on the outputs and on the incremental changes in the outputs. Simulation results are presented for two-point composition control of a pilot-scale distillation column. The results demonstrate that the new nonlinear STC performs significantly better than conventional STC's based on linear models.
