Online Quantitative feedback theory (QFT)-based self-tuning controller for grain drying process by Mansor, Hasmah, Mohd Noor, Samsul Bahari, Raja Ahmad, Raja Kamil, Taip, Farah Saleena

“…Improved results are obtained by using the proposed method as compared to standard QFT procedure in terms of smaller percentage overshoot and shorter settling time when dealing with larger uncertainty range. In addition, the design methodology of the proposed controller design (loop shaping) was improved such that the dependency on human skills was removed and the controller design was done online.…”
