Description

This work deals with the development of model-based adaptive control algorithms for bioprocess operation. Non-linear adaptive control laws are proposed for single input single output regulation. Parameters are continuously adapted following a new adaptive scheme which ensures second-order dynamics of the parameter error system. A computational study is presented of the application of this theory to baker’s yeast fermentation. Results put in evidence the efficient performance both of the adaptive scheme and of the related control laws.
