Abstract

The authors (1998), proposed an analysis-based nonlinear controller design procedure that has the ability to address unstable zero dynamics, unmeasured states, disturbances, and measurement noise. Here this procedure is applied to a pH neutralization process which was selected for its significant nonlinearity and relative simplicity. pH controllers are designed that optimize the desired closed loop speed of response while satisfying robust stability or disturbance suppression constraints
