Abstract

This paper focuses on the application of an explicit self-tuning linear quadratic Gaussian controller to the simulation servo control of conversion in a continuous stirred tank solution polymerization reactor under isothermal conditions. A new saturation and controller windup algorithm proposed in Ogunye (1994, 1996) was implemented for the set-point tracking-control policies. The improvement in closed-loop performance using this saturation algorithm over that obtained when the input saturates was demonstrated at the simulation level
