Two-tier search space optimisation technique for tuning of explicit plant-model mismatch in model predictive controller for industrial cement kiln process

Rotary kiln process: An overview of physical mechanisms, models and applications

“…Teja et al [148] presented a work on the control and optimization of a three-string cement rotary kiln using a predictive control model (PCM), with which they claimed that the PCM better handles disturbances, resulting in improved productivity, a reduction in energy consumption and the highest quality of finished product. Ramasamy et al [149] proposed a work to determine the optimal PMM (Plant-Model Mismatch) parameters capable of improving PCM performance under various cement kiln operating scenarios. Stadler et al [150] developed a predictive control model of a cement rotary kiln in the aim of controlling and optimizing clinker combustion in the cement production process.…”
