R. Gundala et al., Multiple model adaptive control design for a multiple-input multiple-output chemical reactor, IND ENG RES, 39(6), 2000, pp. 1554-1564
Multiple adaptive and nonadaptive models are used to represent the behavior
of processes that are known to transition to unknown regimes in the operat
ing space. The adaptive models investigated are of two types, free-running
and re-initializable, that differ in the initialization of their parameters
. Using these models and their companion controllers in a model reference a
daptive structure, it is shown that this mixed model set can provide satisf
actory control of a nonlinear, interactive, multiple-input multiple-output
chemical reactor with active constraints.
