Abstract

Continuous fermentation processes described by two nonlinear differential equations with uncertain parameters are considered. Sliding mode control design for these processes is proposed. The control design is carried out with direct use of nonlinear model, expert knowledge and on-line measurement of output variable only. Chattering phenomena are avoided by realizing the sliding mode with respect to the control input derivative. The excellent performance of presented control is proved through simulation investigations.
