The aim of this paper is to review and to propose a classification of a number of
decentralized, distributed and hierarchical control architectures for large scale systems …

Multivariable control techniques solve issues of complex specification and modelling errors
elegantly but the complexity of the underlying mathematics is much higher than presented in …

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems are usually present in process systems
engineering. Due to the interaction among the variables and loops in the MIMO system …

The interactions between input/output variables are a common phenomenon and the main
obstacle encountered in the design of multi-loop controllers for interacting multivariable …

A method is proposed in this paper to select the input signals for both single and multiple
flexible ac transmission system (FACTS) devices in small and large power systems. Different …

This paper presents a mechanistic dynamic model of a post-combustion CO 2 capture plant
using the MEA absorption process. Insight regarding the process dynamics due to various …

Difficulties caused by the interactions are always encountered in the design of multi-loop
control systems for MIMO processes. To overcome the difficulties, a multi-loop system is …

Thereare richtheories and designs for generalcontrolsystems, but usually, they will not lead
to PID controllers. Noting that the PID controller has been the most popular one in industry …

In this paper, a decentralized PI/PID controller design method based on gain and phase
margin specifications for two-input–two-output (TITO) interactive processes is proposed. The …

A novel direct synthesis (DS) method for simultaneous and non-iterative design of multi-loop
PID controllers for stable multivariable processes is presented in this article. We deal with …
