Currently I am exploring possibility to design model predictive controller for Multicomponent distillation column for typical process. I am not aware how to proceed for this design.
For such type of application, the predictive controller which will have a distillation column model (1st order with time delay possibly) needs to be implemented in MATLAB code. The model will receive parameters such as flow, pressure, temperature from the distillation model in ASPEN DYNAMICS and provide output to the control block in ASPEN DYNAMICS. The linking between these two software is possible in windows.
Aspen talks very well with excel. The same is true for MATLAB. So you would need to use excel as an intermediate processing platform to integrate Aspen Dynamics with Matlab.
Dr. Kiran D. Patil, could you programe you MPC in Matlab use the Aspen Dynamics block as plant model?
I'm trying to programe an NMPC in Matlab and send control actions to aspen dynamic model using the AM simulink block?
would any of you know how to do this?
