Robust Control of Continuous Fermentation Processes Described by Monod-type Model with Delay

Abstract

Abstract. Discrete nonlinear problem for control synthesis of continuous fermentation processes is formulated and method for robust control synthesis is developed. The method consists of an optimal robust control design and an input/output linearization via a nonlinear state feedback. The obtained total control is a robust one. The method is demonstrated by numerical simulations on the example of a Saccaromyces cerevisiae fermentation, described by Monod-type model with a delay.
