  • Abstract
    The performance of a multivariable self-tuning controller (STC) has been evaluated via a simulation study of two distillation columns. The self-tuner is based on Koivo´s approach (1980), but it can be applied to systems which contain multiple time delays and/or multirate sampling. The effects of important design parameters are illustrated by the simulation results.
