Latin Abstract :
In this paper, an approach to multivariable combustion control design within the Individual Channel
Design (ICD) framework for analysis and control design is presented. ICD is a framework which involves
an interplay between customer specification, uncertain plant characteristics, and the multivariable feedback
design itself. Established multivariable methods and process engineering knowledge can be incorporated
or evaluated within the ICD framework. The combustion control has been designed and evaluated
with a computer simulation of both a linearized model and a nonlinear model of the closed-loop system.
The ICD multivariable framework shows in a highly transparent manner, by way of simple graphical frequency
response indicators, what the main possibilities and difficulties posed by a combustion process for
multivariable control are, and how much trade-off between control specifications is possible. Solutions are
also presented for problems such as: integrity of closed-loop control, balance of input-output channels,
simple and transparent controller structure, and robustness.
