Design of Intelligent Controller for Temperature Process

Temperature is one of the most important and significant parameter of control in food processing, pharmaceuticals and in polymerization. The temperature process is highly nonlinear and design of robust controllers for such nonlinear systems is a challenge. This paper proposes a novel method for the control of temperature process. The traditional PI controllers which are in practice produce high overshoot and the design procedure seems complex. The proposed intelligent controller offers better performance in terms of overshoot and settling time and thus increases the robustness of the system. This paper describes the modeling of the temperature process in detail and discusses how the process responds to conventional and intelligent controllers.
