Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 化學工程研究所 === 86 === Several chemical processes are of distributed type. Distributed systems are mathematically described by their partial differential equations. For a linear distributed system, the Laplace transform of the associated partial differential equation is an irrational transfer function containing transcendental terms. Since an irrational transfer function has an infinite number of poles, the dynamic simulation of distributed systems is a very difficult task. The stability test and design of the feedback system for distributed systems are particularly difficult. The purpose of this thesis is to design optimal PID controllers for linear distributed systems such that the integral of the square error is minimized. In fact, this thesis solves an optimal parameter selection problem. In order to ensure that the selected controller parameters make the overall feedback control system stable, the D-partition technique is adopted along with the Nyquist stability criterion to construct the stable domain in the parameter space. After the stability domain in the parameter space has been identified, a crude random search is performed to choose five sets of PID controller parameters which are then served as the initial guesses for the further gradient-based searches. To illustrate the proposed optimial PID controller design approach, two numerical examples about the feedback control of a heat transfer process are worked out.
