Direct product quality control for energy efficient climate controlled transport of agro-material
شماره ركورد

Latin Abstract
A (model-based) Product Quality Controller is presented for climate controlled operations involving agro-material, such as
storage and transport. This controller belongs to the class of Model Predictive Controllers and fits in a previously developed
hierarchical control structure. The new Product Quality Controller rejects disturbances and tracks the product quality by means of
the product responses respiration and fermentation. To achieve an energy efficient operation the presented controller is closely
linked with the (existing) local controllers. Local optimisation on the level of these local controllers allows (controlled) high-frequent
climate fluctuations. This results in significant energy savings. The Product Quality Controller and the energy efficient local controllers
are implemented in small-scale and full-scale industrial case studies on controlled atmosphere-container transport of apples.
This yields direct control of product quality and a significant reduction in energy consumption.
