Abstract :
This paper describes the design of a multivariable robust controller for a drying process. The plant consists of a co-current rotary dryer to evaporate moisture from a waste product. A methodology to design a multivariable QFT controller and pre-filter is shown. The performance obtained with this control strategy has been validated under simulation.
