Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Fuzzy output feedback H-infinity tracking control for MIMO Nonlinear Three-Tank System   Order a copy of this article
    by Sana BZIOUI, Rafik Channa 
    Abstract: In this work, a multi input multi output nonlinear tank system used in bioprocess and water treatment industries is considered. To control liquid level in tank, taking into account external disturbances, an output feedback Hinfinity controller is implemented. This approach is easy to apply since it only requires available signals from the system to be controlled. Because in practice, direct measurements of all state variables of an industrial system are rarely available and only their outputs are accessible for the measure. On another side, in industry, the state observers are not always applicable for technical or economic reasons. The proposed approach is based on Takagi-Sugeno (TS) model approach, which consists to transform the nonlinear model of the tank system into several linear sub models. The design procedure is based on an output parallel distributed compensation (OPDC) controller with an H-infinity criterion. The design conditions are formulated as a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimisation problem. To maintain the liquid level at the desired set point in each tank, an integral action is introduced. A three tank system is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
    Keywords: Takagi-Sugeno; output parallel distributed compensation; OPDC; linear matrix inequality; LMI; robust control; H-infinity; tracking control; tank system; integral action; fuzzy control; process systems engineering; nonlinear systems.
