Parameter-adaptive control with configuration aids and supervision functions

Several theoretical and experimental investigations have shown that parameter-adaptive control algorithms work well if some pre-conditions for stability and convergence are satisfied. In practice these pre-conditions may be violated. Therefore a supervision level is introduced which monitors faulty functions and takes appropriate actions. Simulations and experimental results for an air-conditioning pilot plant show that a considerable improvement of the overall control behaviour can be achieved.
