Summary: | In chemical plants and other process industries, desired conditions are achieved by adjusting controllers. However, it is difficult to obtain the desired control response because most of the controllers use fixed Proportional-Integral-Differential (PID) control. On the other hand, the internal model control method, in which the control target is described by a detailed mathematical expression, has been proposed. The internal model control is simple to control system structure and is characterized by high robust stability against uncertainties of the control target. However, there are few examples of applying internal model control to nonlinear systems. In this paper, we propose a new method for designing an internal model control system that constructs multiple local linear models for a nonlinear system and adjusts the system parameters corresponding to the models. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through experiments.
