Abstract:

The efficiency of process operation in the field of process industry may be improved by using advanced control methods. The advanced methods are still not widely used in industrial practice due to time-consuming implementation and difficult performance assessment. The aim of the project is the development of a rapid prototyping environment for a set of advanced control methods, including the methodology for experimentation, software tools for rapid prototyping of control methods, and a performance assessment procedure. Special emphasis of the project will be on industrial case studies
