Abstract

AbstractThe application of the Generic Model Control (GMC) algorithm to the control of an evaporator has been reported recently by Lee et al. (1989). The results of their case study are claimed to demonstrate the superiority of the nonlinear GMC algorithm over conventional techniques including Dynamic Matrix Control. In this note it is shown that for the evaporator example the improved performance arises primarily from the full multivariable and feedforward nature of the control law, rather than from the nonlinear nature of GMC.
