In the present work a sugarcane crushing mill is presented as a MIMO system with high multivariable interaction.A linear model of the plant is taken with flap position and turbine speed as manipulated variables and mill torque and buffer chute height as controlled variables. The multiloop PI controller has been designed for this plant by first investigating the RGA and the value of Niederlinski index of this plant.The decoupling of this system is done and the respective open loop and closed loop step responses are observed and compared with those of the composite MIMO system. Also the performance of multiloop controller is compared with controller designed using model predictive control system strategy for this plant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
