Abstract

Abstract: The high-purity distillation column system is strongly nonlinear and coupled, which makes it difficult to control. Active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) has been widely used in distillation systems, but it has limitations in controlling distillation systems with large time delays since ADRC employs ESO and feedback control law to estimate the total disturbance of the system without considering the large time delays. This paper designs a proportion integral-type active disturbance rejection generalized predictive control (PI-ADRGPC) algorithm to control the distillation column system with large time delay. It replaces the PD controller in ADRC with a proportion integral-type generalized predictive control (PI-GPC), thereby improving the performance of control systems with large time delays. Since the proposed controller has many parameters and is difficult to tune, this paper proposes to use the grey wolf optimization (GWO) to tune these parameters, whose structure can also be used by other intelligent optimization algorithms. The performance of GWO tuned PI-ADRGPC is compared with the control performance of GWO tuned ADRC method, multi-verse optimizer (MVO) tuned PI-ADRGPC and MVO tuned ADRC. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy can track reference well and has a good disturbance rejection performance.
