Comparison PID and MPC Control, applied to a binary distillation column

Anderson Rigoberto Cuenca S, Jose Leonardo Benavides M, Manuel Augusto Pesantez G.

Using binary distillation column in the industry is currently imperative, the reason why the control parameters that are highly nonlinear necessary to apply classic strategies as advanced control and raised here. These techniques are the PID controller and the MPC; the data that are to perform the calculations are of IFAC event whose mixture is alcohol with water. Finally with the help of software MATLAB^® / Simulink simulations for comparing which of the two drivers is the best delivery results when controlling the composition on the bottom, top and pressure in binary distillation column performed.
