Probing Control : Analysis and Design with Application to Fed-Batch Bioreactors
In most control problems the objective is to control the output at a desired value in spite of disturbances. In some cases, the best setpoint is not known a priori and it should be found online to optimize the process performance. This thesis examines a probing strategy that can be applied for this …
