Semibatch distillation modelling and control design

The work deals with the modelling and control of semibatch distillation pilot plant. For the description of such multivariable system the nonlinear and linearized model for two component mixture were used, while the reduced order linear model was developed for control purposes. For the discussed example multivariabile output feedback pole assignment PI controller was designed. Efficacy of developed control is shown through hybrid simulation, where system was realized on analog and controller on digital computer.
