Decoupling control of three-tank liquid level systems based on feedforward compensation

By considering couplings between loops as a kind of measurable disturbance, a steady-state decoupling method based on feedforward compensation is proposed for a three-tank liquid level system often encountered in practical process control. In addition, the three-tank liquid level system's dynamic model with structure of two-input and two-output is presented according to its working principle. Finally simulation experiments given in C++Builder language demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
