Abstract:
This paper presents a critical review of tuning methodologies and controller structures applied to the Cholette bioreactor. This (bio)reactor has been studied extensively by the automatic control community from the point of view of controller structures and tuning methodologies, from controllers with a single structure to nonlinear controllers, and from the synthesis method to the frequency response. Therefore, new trends and opportunities of study have been detected with regard to their operating points, controller structures and tuning methodologies which could be addressed for this system.

Open and closed-loop control systems
An open-loop control system operates without feedback from the output. It consists of two primary elements: the controller and the controlled process. The controller receives an input signal...
Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
