Abstract
Abstract Model-free adaptive control (MFAC) stands out as an effective data-driven method for addressing nonlinear problems in industrial processes. To maintain good control performance, a data-driven set-point tuning (DDST) method is used to update the virtual set-point of the MFAC system. The DDST-based MFAC (i.e. DDST-MFAC) constantly approaches the target of the process through the nonlinear set-point tuning method. However, due to equipment errors and external interference, industrial sensors often suffer from measurement noise, which can have adverse effects on the control performance. In this article, an available dynamic data reconciliation (DDR) technique is adopted to improve the tracking performance of the DDST-MFAC, which suppresses the impact of process noise by using predicted information and measured data to achieve high-precision requirements for controlling nonlinear processes. Finally, considering both Gaussian and non-Gaussian distribution of measurement noise, the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through the simulation of a nonlinear nonaffine plant. It is also applied to the steam-water heat exchange process, the control result is improved ultimately.
