Description
Summary:The problem of optimal profiles tracking control under uncertainties for a nonlinear fed-batch bioprocess is addressed in this paper. Based on the results reported by Pantano et al. [ Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2017, 56, 6043 ], this work aims to improve the control system response against parametric uncertainty and process disturbances. The methodology is simple and easy to implement, but with excellent results. The design parameters are optimized by a randomized Monte Carlo algorithm. Besides, demonstration of the tracking error convergence to zero when the system is subjected to uncertainties is included in the article. The control system performance is tested through simulations, showing the improvement achieved.
