Abstract:

Stiction is a nonlinear friction phenomenon that causes poor performance of control loops in the process industries. In this work, we develop a mixed-integer MPC (Model Predictive Control) formulation including valve dynamics for a sticky valve in order to improve control loop performance. The introduction of the valve nonlinearity into the model prevents the MPC from requesting physically unrealistic control actions due to valve stiction. Simulation studies using a two-tank system show that, if the deadband value is known apriori, the Mixed-Integer Quadratic Programming (MIQP) can effectively improve the closed-loop performance in the presence of valve stiction.
