The main aim of the study was to investigate the suitability of DMC for milling circuit control. This was conducted through simulation studies using models of two different milling circuits. A generalised software package was developed for the application and analysis of DMC. DMC was developed in the United States of America by Shell Oil Company (Cutler and Ramaker, 1979; Prett and Gillete, 1979). It falls under the class of controllers which is termed Model Predictive Control (MPC). The control algorithms falling into this category are multivariable and model-based, and as such are expected to improve control of processes which exhibit strong interactions, non-minimum phase behavior, and operate at constraints. Other control schemes falling into this category are Model Algorithmic Control (MAC) and Internal Model Control (IMC). Details of MAC are largely proprietary, while the frequency-based IMC method does not permit direct handling of constraints. Thus the focus of this project was on the DMC algorithm and its variants; Linear Dynamic Matrix Control (LDMC) and Quadratic Dynamic Matrix Control (QDMC). 2016-10-03T04:07:41Z 2016-10-03T04:07:41Z 1993 Master Thesis Masters MSc (Chem Eng) http://hdl.handle.net/11427/22050 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
