Almost all process systems are nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear control is traditionally an area of interest in process systems engineering which is of great
practical importance. These facts notwithstanding, many process engineers have difficulty with the paradigms and results of modern nonlinear control
theory because they lack the mathematical background usually associated with such methods or because of their computational difficulty and small-scale
applicability in the general case. Analysis and Control of Nonlinear Process Systems overcomes these barriers.
Features
- The necessary mathematical preliminaries for readers from a process engineering background
- Constant reference to the widely-known finite-dimensional linear time-invariant continuous case as a basis for extension to the nonlinear situation
- The most promising theories and analytical methods for nonlinear process control laid out clearly and straightforwardly with exercises to reaffirm the
techniques as they are taught
- Emphasis on the importance of process knowledge and first-principles-based models in obtaining feasible and effective solutions in particular
circumstances from general cases
- Illustration of applications with simple examples and case studies
Analysis and Control of Nonlinear Process Systems will interest graduate process engineers wishing to study advanced control methods either with a view to
further research or application in industry as well as to academics seeking to move process control courses into more complicated but up-to-date territory. It
will also be a great assistance to those in their senior undergraduate years who will form the next generation of industrial process engineers and need
unfussy access to the most modern nonlinear control ideas

Sensitivity of Automatic Control Systems
Although it arose much earlier in a variety of contexts, sensitivity theory became an independent branch of science in the sixties. Since then, researchers
from around the world have continued to make great strides in both the theory and its applications. However, much of the work of Russian scientific schools
and specialists remain unknown in the West.Sensitivity of Control Systems summarizes the results of the authors and their disciples in sensitivity theory,
addressing the basic notions of the theory and the problem of selecting technical parameters of systems. The authors formulate problems for actual
technical systems and their models, and establish relations between sensitivity theory and classical stability problems. They offer a significant, general
theory for investigating the sensitivity of boundary problems and use elements of this theory for sensitivity analysis of solutions to nonlinear programming
and variational calculus problems, as well as oscillatory processes. The book also presents general investigation methods for discontinuous systems,
including those described by operator models.Full of powerful new methods and results, this book offers a unique opportunity for those in theoretical
investigation and in the design, testing, and exploitation of various control systems to explore the work of Russia's leading researchers in sensitivity theory.
Furthermore, its techniques for parametric perturbation investigation, Sensitivity of Control Systems will prove useful in fields outside of control theory,
including oscillation theory, motion dynamics, and mathematical economy

ANALOG AND DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM DESIGN
pages: 624 pages
Publisher: Saunders College Publishing
This text's contemporary approach focuses on the concepts of linear control systems, rather than computational mechanics.
Straightforward coverage includes an integrated treatment of both classical and modern control system methods.
The text emphasizes design with discussions of problem formulation, design criteria, physical constraints,
several design methods, and implementation of compensators. Discussions of topics not found in
other texts--such as pole placement, model matching and robust tracking--add to the text's cutting-edge
presentation. Students will appreciate the applications and discussions of practical aspects, including the
leading problem in developing block diagrams, noise, disturbances, and plant perturbations. State feedback
and state estimators are designed using state variable equations and transfer functions, offering a comparison
of the two approaches. The incorporation of MATLAB throughout the text helps students to avoid time-consuming
computation and concentrate on control system design and analysis

Title: Digital Self-tuning Controllers: Algorithms, Implementation and Applications (Advanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing)
Author: Vladimír Bobál, Joseph Böhm, Jaromír Fessl, Jirí Machácek
Publisher: Springer (July 15, 2005)
Publication Date: 2005-07-15
Number Of Pages: 318

Adaptive control theory has developed significantly over the past few years; self-tuning control represents one branch of adaptive control that has been
successfully applied in practice. Controller design requires knowledge of the plant to be controlled which is not always readily accessible; self-tuning
controllers gather such information during normal operation and adjust controller designs on-line as required. Digital Self-tuning Controllers presents you
with a complete course in self-tuning control, beginning with a survey of adaptive control and the formulation of adaptive control problems. Modelling and
identification are dealt with before passing on to algebraic design methods and particular PID and linear-quadratic forms of self-tuning control. Finally,
laboratory verification and experimentation will show you how to ground your theoretical knowledge in real plant control. Features: comprehensive
coverage providing everything a student needs to know about self-tuning control from literature survey to the control of an experimental heat exchanger; a
strong emphasis on practical problem solving with control algorithms clearly laid out in easy-to-follow formulae, code listings or made directly available as
MATLAB® functions making the book particularly suitable as an aid to project work; specially written MATLAB® toolboxes convenient for the presentation
of typical control system and plant properties and ready for use in direct control of real or simulated plants available from springeronline.com; worked
examples and tutorial exercises to guide you through the learning process. Digital Self-tuning Controllers comprises an invaluable course with which
graduate students and advanced undergraduates can learn how to overcome the significant problems of putting the powerful tools of adaptive control
theory into practice. The text will also be of much interest to control engineers wishing to employ the ideas of adaptive control in their designs and plant

Title: Control Design Techniques in Power Electronics Devices (Power Systems)
Author: Hebertt J. Sira-Ramirez, Ramon Silva-Ortigoza
Publisher: Springer (July 5, 2006)
Publication Date: 2006-06-21
Number Of Pages: 444
Power electronics systems are physical devices that can be modelled mathematically as controlled dynamical systems. This makes them suitable for the
application of existing control theory, particularly in the design of their regulatory subsystems. For years there has been a perceived need to bring the
disciplines of power electronics and theoretical control into closer co-operation, demonstrating the potentially great advantages of, at first sight, rather
obscure control theory to power specialists while making control technicians better aware of the fundamental needs and limitations of power electronics
design. Control Design Techniques in Power Electronics Devices deals specifically with control theories relevant to the design of control units for switched
power electronics devices, for the most part represented by DC–DC converters and supplies, by rectifiers of different kinds and by inverters with varying
topologies. The theoretical methods for designing controllers in linear and nonlinear systems are accompanied by multiple case studies and examples
showing their application in the emerging field of power electronics. The book is introduced through the very important topic of modeling switched power
electronics as controlled dynamical systems. Detailed circuit layouts, schematics and actual closed-loop control responses from a representative group of
the plants under discussion and generated by applying the theory are included. The control theories which feature in the book are: sliding mode control
and feedback control by means of approximate linearization (linear state feedback, static and dynamic proportional-integral-differential (PID control),
output feedback trough observer design, Lyapunov-based control and passivity-based control). Nonlinear control design methods represented include:
exact feedback linearization, input-output linearization, differential flatness, generalized PID control and, again, passivity-based control. This monograph
will be of interest to researchers in power systems and their related control problems. It will also assist tutors and students in these fields with its dydactic
style and its rich source of worked-out application examples from a broad spectrum of control theories.

The effectiveness of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for a large class of process systems has ensured their continued and widespread use in
industry. Similarly there has been a continued interest from academia in devising new ways of approaching the PID tuning problem. To the industrial
engineer and many control academics this work has previously appeared fragmented but a key determinant of this literature is the type of process model
information used in the PID tuning methods

The strength of PID control lies in its simplicity, lucid meaning, and clear effect. Although PID control is a widely accepted method for controlling
mechanical systems it is hard to find a book on PID control for mechanical systems. This monograph discusses thoroughly the theoretical bases, e.g.,
optimality of PID control, performance tuning rules, automatic performance tuning method, and output feedback PID control for mechanical control
systems - clearly presenting the characteristics and theory of mechanical control systems
