Polymerization reactor control using autoregressive‐plus Volterra‐based MPC

BR Maner, FJ Doyle III - AIChE Journal, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
A nonlinear model‐predictive control scheme based on the autoregressive‐plus Volterra
model is proposed. A “plant‐friendly,” yet persistently exciting, input sequence is designed …

Control-relevant system identification using nonlinear Volterra and Volterra-Laguerre models

AS Soni - 2006 - search.proquest.com
One of the key impediments to the wide-spread use of nonlinear control in industry is the
availability of suitable nonlinear models. Empirical models, which are obtained from only the …

Optimal control of a continuous bioreactor using an empirical nonlinear model

RS Parker, FJ Doyle - Industrial & engineering chemistry research, 2001 - ACS Publications
Nonlinear model-based controllers are developed to regulate the cell biomass exit
concentration of a continuous-flow bioreactor by manipulating the dilution rate.“Plant …

System identification of modes in nonlinear structures

TA Doughty - 2002 - search.proquest.com
Nonlinear system identification techniques are formulated to generate models of modes in
physical structures. Three techniques are described: the first is based on the continuous …
