Abstract

An industrial process control application of level and temperature is considered. The nonlinear mathematical model of the system is cast as a linear parameter varying (LPV) system. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) type of controller is successfully designed using the LMI unified approach to regulating both controlled variables, namely; temperature and level. The closed loop system is then implemented through computer simulation to show the effectiveness of the controller in performing the combined level-temperature regulation. Basically, this combined level and temperature industrial control application is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of post-modern controllers; in this case LMI based controllers.
