摘要:AbstractThis document addresses the problem of controlling a one-stage refrigeration cycle by using the opening of the expansion valve and the compressor speed as control variables, while the outlet temperature of evaporator secondary flux and the superheating degree of refrigerant at evaporator outlet are the controlled variables. An uncertain matrix function is obtained in order to represent the full operating range of the nonlinear system. Thus, the control decentralized approach control consists of designing Generalized- Proportional-Integral (GPI) observers for the internal loops of each controlled variable while PID controllers are tuned based on the Quantitative Feedback Theory for the respective external loops. Simulations results show that the robust controllers reacts quickly reference settings, despite the non-measurement of the disturbance variables and the dynamic coupling of the multi-variable system, compared to decentralised single PIDs proposed with the benchmark.
