Summary of work • A GA approach to tuning controllers based on gain and phase margin was applied • Novel optimisation function was proposed • Twelve models were tuned • Three controllers were evaluated • The controllers were subsequently employed on a real time system ISSC 2004, Belfast
Conclusions • GPC performance depends on the sampling period • Tuning strategy works well, but... • GPC performed better in simulation, but... • Do advanced control algorithms perform better? ISSC 2004, Belfast
