Objectives, project description, background, proposed research

The project deals with development of progressive approaches to control of systems with uncertainties and focuses on processes with heat and mass transfer typical for chemical and food technologies, as e.g. distillation columns, heat exchangers, chemical reactors and others. Development of methods of robust analysis, robust stabilization and robust control of systems with uncertainties constitutes the core of the project. Modern adaptive control methods are investigated as well. Designed algorithms and control structures are tested by simulations and on laboratory processes.
