Abstract :
Drying is an important process in paper manufacturing, where steam heated cylinders are used to dry paper. Control of the moisture content is accomplished by adjusting the steam pressure in the cylinders. This paper presents a nonlinear dynamic model, based on heat and mass balances for steam, cylinder, and paper. It is implemented in the object-oriented modeling language Modelica and is used to evaluate MPC control of a new process structure in the drying section, with promising results
