A pattern-based approach to self-tuning process control

This thesis addresses the issues of performing closed-loop process identification under unknown load disturbances and reference step change, hence achieving a self-tuning controller that makes good use of the available on-line spatial-temporal information for control.

Description
Summary:This thesis addresses the issues of performing closed-loop process identification under unknown load disturbances and reference step change, hence achieving a self-tuning controller that makes good use of the available on-line spatial-temporal information for control. A new method for process dynamic parameter identification utilizing the closed-loop response patterns is proposed. The main contribution is to be seen through our establishment of a formal basis for the pattern-based method for closed-loop process identification.
