Effective Transfer Function Approach for Decentralized Controller

M.Bharathi

Effective transfer function approach is a novel method for decentralized control system design of multivariable interactive processes. An extension of the effective transfer function approach by taking into consideration all the interactions is proposed. The simplicity and effectiveness of the method is based on the incorporation of the interaction frequency directly in the controller design. This approach ensures that all the necessary information of the gain and interaction frequency changes are provided. The advantage of this method is more significant when applied to higher dimensional processes with complicated interaction modes. Since this is an extension of the ETF approach, it can also be easily integrated into an auto-tuning control structure.
