Abstract

This paper presents the design and real time implementation of model predictive control of liquid level process using LabVIEW software. The classical controllers like PI and PID controllers have so many limitations. These controllers provide better performance only at particular operating range. The specific control problems associated with the plant operations severely limit the performance of conventional controllers. The increasing complexities of plant operations demand the need for more sophisticated process controllers. Model predictive control (MPC) is an important branch of automatic control theory. MPC refers to a class of control algorithms in which a process model is used to predict and optimize the process performance. In this project, Liquid level in a process trainer is to be controlled using model predictive control in real time. Model predictive control will give better performance.
