ABSTRACT

A linear input/output model is identified for a nonlinear distributed parameter system using a combination of singular-value decomposition and Karhunen Loeve expansion. The model captures the dominant behavior of the system around a nominal operating point. A Quadratic Dynamic Model-Based Controller (QDMC) is designed based on this input/output model. Sufficient conditions for closed-loop stability of the infinite dimensional process and finite order controller are presented and discussed. The system identification method and a QDMC controller are applied to the multiple-input multiple-output hydro-dealkylation (HDA) of toluene process in the presence of common disturbances.
