Robust control and optimization for thermo-energetic installations

A new methodology for the design of control systems for real time applications is presented. It is proposed to have a first stage of assisted design of nominal systems with simulation based verification of the achieved performances. The control algorithm will then be improved by robustification to reproduce as good as possible the performances obtained in simulation on the real time process. Finally, a supervisor is implemented to optimize the thermo-energetic process and to compute the best choice for the reference signals.
