Abstract

This paper deals with a problem of finding of suboptimal control law for a counterflow heat exchanger. The counterflow heat exchanger is a non-linear, multidimensional, distributed parameter system, which frequently appears in industrial and civil installations. The most common task is to control of output temperature of one medium. In previous works of the author [7, 8] the problem of identification and finding suboptimal control signal in open-loop system has been solved using so called Generalized Back Propagation Through Time (GBPTT) method [4]. In this paper in order to decrease influence of disturbances the control law will be introduced. State variables of the model, which serves as a state observer are arguments of the control law. Parameters of the control law are optimized using GBPTT method. Numerical examples are presented.
