A Process Application Of Step-Wise Safe Switching Control

In the present work we study the application to a characteristic nonlinear process of the Step-Wise Safe Switching (SWSS) control approach for SISO plants. The process nonlinear description is considered to be unknown for control design, while its behavior is approximated by a set of SISO linear models derived through identification around corresponding operating points. The performance of the supervisory scheme is illustrated using simulation results, which are also compared with corresponding results of other approaches.
