Decoupling And Disturbance Rejection Control For Target Circulation Loop, Xiuju Tan Jan 2006

Decoupling And Disturbance Rejection Control For Target Circulation Loop, Xiuju Tan

Reactor Campaign (TRP)

The primary objective is to modify the existing control algorithm of the pilot target circuit (TC-1) loop to achieve precise temperature control. Safety concerns, the alarm system, and a user-friendly design are the secondary objectives.

The decoupling and active disturbance rejection controls are the effective control scheme in this special multivariable control process to TC-1 loop.

The research objectives are:

• To identify the interacting terms between heater inputs and target temperature outputs in each zone experimentally,

• To design of decoupling and active disturbance rejection control (ADRC),

• To monitor system through internet based remote monitoring, automatic alarming and …
