Abstract

In this paper, a fuzzy model predictive control (FMPC) strategy is proposed to regulate the output variables of a coagulation chemical dosing unit. A multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) process model in form of a linearised Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is derived. The process model is obtained through subtractive clustering from the plant's data set. The MIMO model is described by a set of coupled multiple-input, single-output models (MISO). In the controller design, the T–S fuzzy model is applied in combination with the nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) algorithm. The results show that the proposed controller has good set-point tracking when compared with nonlinear MPC and adequate disturbance rejection ability required for efficient coagulation control and process optimisation in water treatment operations.
