Abstract

In this article, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear model predictive controller (LMPC) based on state space model and nonlinear model predictive controller based on neural network (NNMPC) are applied on a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The idea is to have a good control system that will be able to give optimal performance, reject high load disturbance, and track set point change. In order to study the performance of the two model predictive controllers, MIMO Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller (PID) strategy is used as benchmark. The LMPC, NNMPC, and PID strategies are used for controlling the residual concentration (CA) and reactor temperature (T). NNMPC control shows a superior performance over the LMPC and PID controllers by presenting a smaller overshoot and shorter settling time.
