NONLINEAR BATCH REACTOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL BASED ON ADAPTIVE FEEDBACK-BASED ILC

This work presents the temperature control of a nonlinear batch reactor with constrains in the manipulated variable by means of adaptive feedback-based iterative learning control (ILC). The strong nonlinearities together with the constrains of the plant can lead to a non-monotonic convergence of the l2-norm of the error, and still worse, an unstable equilibrium signal e∞(t) can be reached. By numeric simulation this works shows that with the adaptive feedback-based ILC is possible to obtain a better performance in the controlled variable than with the traditional feedback and the feedback based-ILC.
