Thesis title: Limit Cycle Approach for Identification and Control of Processes

Abstract:The thesis is concerned with identification and control of single-input-single-output (SISO) and two-input-two-output (TITO) processes based on relay induced limit cycles. A relay based on-line identification method for stable and unstable SISO processes is proposed where the process model parameters are estimated from a single relay test. An ideal relay in parallel with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller induces a limit cycle oscillation whose frequency and amplitude are used for the process identification.read more

Thesis title:Adaptive Network Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) as a Tool for System Indentification with Special Emphasis on Training Data Minimization

Abstract:Nearly two decades back nonlinear system identification consisted of several ad-hoc approaches which were restricted to a very limited class of systems. However, with the advent of the various soft computing methodologies like neural networks, the fuzzy logic and the genetic algorithm combined with modern structure optimization techniques, a wider class of systems can be handled at present.read more

Thesis title: Design of Robust Fuzzy Controllers for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems

Abstract:This thesis deals with the analysis and design of robust fuzzy controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems using Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model based approach. A T-S fuzzy model is used here to approximate the uncertain nonlinear systems where the nominal model and uncertain terms of the consequent parts of the fuzzy model are identified by a linear programming approach and then they are expressed in a form suitable for robust fuzzy controller design.read more

Thesis title:Relay Feedback Method for Process Modeling

Abstract:From a practical and simplicity point of views, the relay feedback identification is extended to the various fields of process control industries. The proposed techniques yield significantly improved accuracy over the conventional relay feedback method by deriving the explicit expressions for unknown process model parameters in terms of the output limit cycle data.read more

Thesis title: Improved Control Structures and Methodologies for Linear Processing with Delay

Abstract:The aim of this thesis is to investigate various control structures and strategies for time delay processes. Time delays (dead times) appear in many processes in industry, economics, biology, communication networks etc. The presence of dead times complicates the control design and exerts severe limitations on the performance of such systems. Hence control structures that can potentially improve the performance of those processes are of central importance. Simple controllers, easy to design and tune, are very important in process industries. In this thesis, some control schemes based on a new but very simple Smith Predictor are presented

Thesis title:Identification of Process Dynamics Using Relay with Hysteresis

Abstract:In recent years, many research work on relay based process identification have been reported. Still there is much scope for improvements and extensions of this method. In this thesis using describing function technique explicit expressions are derived and using state space method improved results are obtained. This thesis presents identification of single-input-single-output (SISO) and two-input-two output (TITO) process dynamics using relay with hysteresis. The analytical expressions are derived based on describing function (DF) technique and state space method. The DF technique is applied to develop off-line and on-line identification methods for SISO and TITO processes whereas the state space method is applied for off-line identification of SISO processes.read more
