Abstract
The aim of the paper is to obtain suitable state-space models of continuous biotechnological processes (CBTP) in the framework of Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT). The LFT models are starting point in most of the advanced robust control design and analysis methods. Therefore, a linearized process model in the state-space is used whose elements are supposed to vary within certain bounds to represent the nonlinear behaviour of the real plant. The performance specifications are defined in the frequency domain through weighting functions. Two LFT models of CBTP are obtained ready for controller design aimed to optimize robust stability margins and robust performance, respectively.
