Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Control Systems

Background:

  • Nonlinear systems require advanced control strategies for efficient operation.
  • Distillation columns are critical in chemical processes but exhibit complex dynamics.
  • Accurate state estimation is crucial for effective control of multivariable systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a discrete-time multivariable feedback linearizing control (FLC) structure.
  • To integrate an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for state estimation in a distillation column model.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed FLC-EKF control scheme against alternative methods.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an input/output (I/O) linearizing state feedback law.
  • Implementation of a closed-loop observer using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) based on a reduced-order model.

    • Main Results:

    • The EKF accurately estimated unmeasured states despite a significant process/predictor mismatch.
    • The FLC structures, particularly FLC-EKF, outperformed traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers.
    • The FLC-EKF scheme demonstrated robustness and superiority in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed FLC-EKF control scheme offers a robust and effective solution for controlling nonlinear systems like distillation columns.
    • Accurate state estimation via EKF is vital for the success of feedback linearization in complex industrial processes.
    • The FLC-EKF approach provides enhanced performance and stability compared to conventional control methods.
