Identification and Control of Bilinear Systems

The research presented in this paper combines the problem of identifiction and control of nonlinear processes. This is done by approximating the process with a bilinear model and designing model-based control structures (Reference System Controllers) based on the bilinear approximation. The identification of the bilinear model and the construction of the controller are described below. An example of the identification and control of an exothermic CSTR is also presented.
