Abstract

This paper describes the implementation of time-optimal feedback control on a pilot plant evaporator. The time-optimal control for a time invariant linear system is found using an algorithm which is a combination of a Linear Programming scheme and a Gauss- quadrature formula. The execution speed and core storage requirement of the algorithm allows implementation even on a small on-line computer.Experimental results showed that the time-optimal control system was sensitive to process noise and linearisation errors. The influence of process noise was eliminated by the use of a Kalman filter.
