Abstract
This paper describes hierarchical control with fuzzy supervisory control and model predictive multivariable control (MPC) in a petroleum plant. MPC is effective in time delay, interference, and handling constraints. Fuzzy logic controllers are effective for plants with large time delay and non-linearity. Our proposed hierarchical control combines their advantages. Fuzzy supervisory control, which determines set points for MPC, consists of an estimation block and a compensation block. We use a statistical model with multi-regression analysis for the estimation block to estimate parameters of plant operation, and fuzzy logic for the compensation block to correct output of the statistical model. Hierarchical control has been applied to an actual plant in an oil refinery, and showed satisfactory performance.
