Abstract

Presented in this paper is an overview of a novel multivariable controller design methodology and its application to the robust control of a distillation column. The design methodology applies to uncertain, multivariable, regulating systems required to maintain a prespecified operating condition within hard time domain tolerances despite a vector of step disturbances. The specific class of systems addressed are those which can be modeled as square, multivariable systems with structured and/or unstructured uncertainty. The design methodology is a sequential loop frequency domain approach that utilizes a fully populated controller matrix to meet performance specifications which may include system integrity specifications.
