Industry - University Cooperative Research: Robust Controller Design for Systems with Constraints

这项工作将把为处理航空航天问题而开发的坚固控制器应用于化学加工行业。即使要控制的系统的数学模型可能很差，鲁棒控制器也会执行所需的任务。研究人员将努力适应和改进综合，并将其与内模控制(IMC)相结合，目前内模控制已成功地用于化工过程控制。要解决的具体问题包括：(1)适合于综合的实际控制问题的数学表述；(2)对决定最优解的因素的定性理解；(3)交替控制器的参数化；(4)约束控制。

This work will apply robust controllers developed to handle aerospace problems to the chemical process industries. Robust controllers perform a required task even though the mathematical model of the system to be controlled might be a poor one. The reachers will try to adapt and improve synthesis, and combine it with internal model control (IMC) now being successfully used for chemical plant control. The specific issues to be addressed include: (1) mathematical formulation of practical control problems suitable for synthesis; (2) qualitative understanding of the factors determining the optimal solution; (3) alternate controller parametrization; and (4) contrained control.
