Title in Portuguese
RMPCT de horizonte infinito aplicado ao processo de produção de alumina.
Keywords in Portuguese
Alumina (produção)
Controle de processos
Controle preditivo
Abstract in Portuguese
Algoritmos MPC implementam estratégias avançadas de controle adequada-mente aplicáveis a processos químicos complexos e multivariáveis. Recentemente, desenvolveram-se algoritmos MPC que possuem controle das saídas por faixas e estabilidade nominal baseados em horizonte infinito de predição. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é estender este tipo de algoritmo desenvolvendo um MPC de horizon-te infinito com referências para as entradas manipuladas e controle das saídas por funnel. Funnel é um dispositivo, particular aos algoritmos Honeywell RMPCT® (de horizonte finito), que suaviza as ações do controlador estabelecendo, a cada instan-te de amostragem, limites mais brandos para as saídas controladas que fogem às suas faixas. O algoritmo MPC de horizonte infinito aqui desenvolvido é analisado por simulação de um subsistema importante de uma planta de produção de alumina. Pe-las simulações, verificou-se de fato a suavidade das ações do controlador que dis-põe do funnel. Neste trabalho também se propõe, e se analisa por simulação, uma nova estrutura para o controlador RMPCT® que hoje atua sobre a planta. Uma vez que se mostrou interessante, essa nova estrutura, que inclui uma nova entrada ma-nipulada, poderá ser implementada na prática.

Abstract in English
MPC algorithms are particularly suitable to implement advanced control strate-gies at complex and multivariable chemical processes. Recently, it has been devel-oped MPC algorithms with zone control and nominal stability, based on infinity pre-diction horizon. The main objective of this dissertation is to extend this type of algo-rithm by developing an infinity horizon MPC with targets to the manipulated inputs and funnel control. Funnel is a numerical device, particular to Honeywell RMPCT® algorithms (with finite horizon), that softens the controller actions by establishing, at each sampling instant, softer limits for the controlled outputs that escapes from its zones. The infinity horizon MPC algorithm developed here is analyzed by simulation of an important subsystem of an alumina production facility. According to the simula-tions, it was confirmed in fact the smoothness of the control actions produced by the funnel controller. In this work it is also proposed, and analyzed by simulation, a new structure for the RMPCT® controller that controls the plant nowadays. Since this new structure, which includes a new manipulated input, showed itself interesting, it can be implemented in practice.
