On Adaptive Control Of A Class Of Time Delay Biotechnological Processes

Abstract

This paper with the design and analysis of some nonlinear and adaptive cotrol strategies capable to deal with the model uncertainties in an adaptive way for a class of nonlinear and time varying bioprocesses. The nonlinear controller design is based on the input-output linearizing technique. A realistic case study, which consists of a complex bioprocess resulting from the association of a recycling bioreactor with an electrochemicaal reactor, is fully analysed. Computer simulations are included to demonstrate the performances of the proposed controllers.
