En World Congress of IFAC, Beijing, China.0 08 043248 4https://hdl.handle.net/11441/89845This paper presents the application of a Generalized Predictive Controller (GPC) to the diffusion process in a sugar factory. The controIler was embedded in the existing control system, needing the same computational requirements as a PID routine. The control law is extremely simple to compute and the tuning is straightforward since a low order model is used. Due to model uncertainties that. appear , when working at different operating points, the original GPC algorithm is improved by the use of the so-called T polynornial, which increases the stability robustness by filtering the predictions.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Predictive controlRobustnettFood processinginfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1016/S1474-6670(17)57176-1
