Abstract: An optimal multivariable controller has been designed for superheater steam temperature control in a drum boiler. The controller takes the form of a linear quadratic regulator with supplementary ...

Abstract: Sliding mode control has been promoted as a means to overcome the nonlinearities associated with pneumatic positioning systems. Previously published performance results have been disappointing with ...

Abstract: This brief details the design and experimental implementation of a practical multivariable controller applied to a thermal hydraulic process. Features of the design include a first-order plus ...
