In this paper a multi-input nonlinear plant is considered. A new linearization technique is examined that transform the nonlinear system into an equivalent linear system. In this method one of control signals is made as a linear combination of states. The linearization technique based on feedback is applied for such systems. It is shown, that there are systems, which are only linearizable when using approach presented in this paper.This class of systems is relatively narrow, but is often seen in thermal plants. An example of heat exchanger was examined in order to illustrate developed procedure.
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.
