    The document discusses advanced control methods that can improve upon the limitations of simple PID controllers. It describes linearizing the control loop by incorporating blocks that inverse linearize nonlinear elements like temperature sensors and thermal objects. This allows the overall loop to be treated as a linear system even if components are nonlinear. It also discusses changing the control structure to methods like cascade control, selective control, and feedforward control to improve performance beyond a single PID controller. Specifically, it explains how a square-root actuator can linearize the relationship between control signal u and process variable T, allowing the loop to be modeled and controlled as a linear system.

    1 Advanced control methods


    Limitations of the simple SISO PID controller caused by:

    • system nonlinearities;

    • simplicity of the control algorithm.

    How to achieve a better performance?

    • Linearize the control loop

    • Change the structure: cascade control, selective control, feedforward control.

    1.1 Linearization
    Control loop has nonlinearities

    PV
    F-1

    T=F-1(Utp)+T0

    • Temperature sensor Utp = F (T )

    linearized by block F −1 inside the controller: T = F −1 (Utp + T0 ).

    • Thermal object ∆T (◦ C) ≈ P (W ), T = T0 + c · U 2

    U - voltage RMS (Root Mean Square).

    Approach: process can be linearized by using suitable actuator!

    √
    If actuator characteristic is URM S = kac u, then u → T is linear.
