Advanced Control for Constrained Processes and Systems

PBCE075E * ISBN: 9781849192613

This book provides a unified, practically oriented treatment to
many constrained control paradigms. Recently proposed control
strategies are unified in a generalised framework to deal with
different kinds of constraints. The book's solutions are based on
reference conditioning ideas implemented by means of supervisory
loops, and they are complementary to any other control technique
used for the main control loop. Although design simplicity is a
book priority, the use of well established sliding mode concepts
for theoretical analysis make it also rigorous and self-contained.
The first part of the book focuses on providing a simple
description of the method to deal with system constraints in SISO
systems. It also illustrates the design and implementation of the
developed technique through several case studies. The second part
is denoted to multivariable constrained control problems: improving
system decoupling under different plant or controller constraints,
and reducing the undesired effects caused by manual-automatic or
controller switching. The key aim of this book is to reduce the gap
between the available constrained control literature and industrial
applications.
