Abstract Abstract: This ~hesis is concerned with the mul~i-model con~rol algori~hm of indus~rial processes using ~he microcompu~ers. Multi-model control technique is based on represen~ing ~he process by a set. of linear models which are valid around c ert aIn nominal opera~ing points. It lies’within ~wo main par~s; loca~ion and control. LOCATION is an operation which is able to evaluate the quality of the different models .....ith respect. to certain criterion and classify them accordingly. CONTROL is an operation achieved in two steps: 1- The basic control, of each of the available models, which is calculated separately using cert.ain control criterion. 2- Syn~hesising ~he actual control. applied ~o ~he process, which can be realized in several ways; either by selecting the basic control of the bes~ model or by combining the differen~ basic controls. A tracking. location criterion is proposed to overcome the problem. encoun~ered by ~he dlfferen~ available de~erminis~ic mul~i-model techniques. where ~he used models are of differen~ s~ructure. A mul~i-microprocessor network has been developed. I~ consis~s of a personal computer connected .....ith three microprocessor cards working in parallel. This ne~work is used to implemen~ and ~est ~he multi-model con~rol algorithm. Simulation reSUlts, using the developed ne~work. are included. A real time application is carried out. to control ~he temperature of a pilot.~hermal process. The results of t.hesimulation and ~he real time application show the potent.ial of the control algorithm and ~he efficiency of the proposed hardware corif’Lqtrr a.t.Lori and the Loc at.Lori cri~erion. key words: Mul~i-model, Hul~i-microprocessor, optimal con~rol. |
