Abstract
This paper considers suitable disturbance models for use in the design of control systems for web forming processes. It suggests a practical disturbance representation and, using spectral factorization, presents a multivariable aggregated model of the disturbance. The paper compares generalized minimum variance (GMV) controllers designed using uncorrelated and correlated disturbance models and demonstrates the improvement in performance of a multivariable GMV controller which is designed to accommodate the cross direction correlation in the disturbance compared to the GMV controller that is commonly used in practice, which is based on a model that ignores the effects of correlated disturbances.
