Variable structure control effectively manages bioreactor cell mass and nutrient levels despite model inaccuracies. This robust MIMO sliding mode control ensures precise tracking and process decoupling for improved bioprocess performance.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemical Engineering
  • Control Systems Engineering
  • Process Automation

Background:

  • Bioreactor systems require precise control of state variables like cell mass and nutrient concentration.
  • Plant-model mismatch and disturbances present significant challenges in maintaining desired bioreactor performance.
  • Existing control strategies may not adequately address the complexities of bioreactor dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the application of variable structure control (VSC) for bioreactor state variable management.
  • To demonstrate the efficacy of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) sliding mode control (SMC) on a benchmark bioreactor problem.
  • To compare the performance of the proposed VSC strategy against a feedback linearizing controller.

Main Methods:
