As the temperature process of beer fermentation has a large time delay, strong coupling and distributed parameter, the process requirements are difficult to satisfy for conventional control. The beer fermentation temperature control model was developed and the Smith compensation and distributed predictive control algorithm were proposed. The simulation shows that the algorithm can satisfy the technological requirements very well.

This article details a new Model Predictive Control algorithm ensuring robust stability and control feasibility for uncertain nonlinear multi-input multi-output dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. The proposed control algorithm is based on construction of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional as terminal cost. Incorporation of this terminal cost into the Model Predictive Control optimization problem and calculation of the associated admissible set result in robust feasibility and robust stability of closed-loop system in presence of uncertain time-delay effects and bounded disturbance signals. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional term is constructed with respect to predicted sliding functions over the prediction horizon and considers the effects of dynamical variations over the prediction horizon in generation of control inputs. As dynamical variations are investigated in a sample-to-sample basis, feasible sliding regions are updated at each sample as well. Finally, based on expression of sliding functions as a combination of dynamical variations and input-based terms, required control inputs are calculated in the admissible bound by the optimization algorithm. Construction of control scheme on this basis permits straightforward calculation of robust stability and feasibility conditions for a general class of uncertain nonlinear system in finite prediction horizon whereas in the previous works, often-restrictive conditions were considered for the investigated dynamical systems. Numerical illustrations indicate precision and efficiency of control algorithm and improved stability and convergence rate for multivariable nonlinear dynamical systems considering uncertain time-delay effects. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop implementation indicates applicability of the proposed scheme in real-time control applications particularly in case appropriate compromises between optimality and calculation speed are considered.

In this paper, a new strategy for robust control of temperature in a steel slab reheating furnace with large time delay uncertainty based on fractional-order controllers combined with a Smith predictor is proposed. A time delay model of the preheating zone of this process is used, obtained from an identification procedure applied in a real industrial furnace. It is shown that this process experiences very large time delay changes. A fractional-order integral controller embedded in a Smith predictor structure (FI-SP) is designed, which is robust to changes in such time delay. Simulated results of a standard Proportinal Integral Derivative (PID) controller, a PID controller embedded in a Smith predictor and the proposed FI-SP controller are compared. Six performance indexes have been used in this comparison. The analysis of these indexes shows that the designed FI-SP controller exhibits the most robust behavior (lowest indexes averaged in all the range of time delay variation) for ranges that include large time delays. Then the robustness features of the FI-SP controller outperform the other integer order controllers in the time responses both to set-point changes and to step disturbances. Therefore, this controller guarantees the best accuracy of temperature control. The designed FI-SP guarantees system stability and robust performance for a high range of plant time delay uncertainties.

The reheat steam temperature control system of thermal power unit is a complex control object with time-varying parameters and large delay. In order to achieve precise control of reheat steam temperature, the performance of the reheat temperature control system is analyzed according to the data that are obtained based on the constrained predictive control algorithm. Firstly, the process and mathematical model of reheat steam temperature control system are introduced. Then the principle of constrained predictive control algorithm is analyzed. Finally, the steady-state values of control quantities of reheat steam temperature control system under different conditions are given by MATLAB simulation, and, by analyzing the steady-state values and steady-state time of the input and output of the system, the reference values and the regulating law of the control quantities and the specific constraint range of the control quantities of the system are given, which can provide reference data and theoretical basis for the field adjustment of the reheat steam temperature control system in power plant and improve the safety and effectiveness of the system.
