Abstract
This study demonstrates the use of a simple algebraic controller design for a cooling-heating plant with a through-flow air-water heat exchanger that evinces long internal delays with respect to the robustness to plant model uncertainties and variable ambient temperature conditions during the season. The advantage of the proposed design method consists in that the delays are not approximated but fully considered. Moreover, the reduction of sensitivity to model parameters’ variations yields the better applicability regardless modeling errors or environmental fluctuations. The infinite-dimensional mathematical model of the plant has been obtained by using anisochronic modeling principles. The key tool for the design is the ring special of quasipolynomial meromorphic functions (RQM). The Two-Feedback-Controllers (TFC) rather than the simple negative control feedback loop is utilized, which enables to solve the reference tracking and disturbance rejection independently and more efficiently. The eventual controller is then tuned such that robust stability and robust performance requirements are fulfilled. The tuning procedure is supported by a performance optimization idea. Since the originally obtained controller is of the infinite-dimensional nature, a possible way how to substitute it by a simplified finite-dimensional one is proposed for engineering practice. The functionality of both the controllers is compared and verified by simulations as well as by real measurements which prove a very good performance. © 2016 Elsevier LtdEuropean Regional Development Fund under the project CEBIA-Tech Instrumentation [CZ.1.05/2.1.00/19.0376
