8.Design of Nonlinear Internal Model Controller using Local Linear Models, and its Application
Shinichi Imai
Pages: 108 - 111
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...
