Objectives

The objective of this research project was to design a system for evaluating the performance of advanced industrial controllers (based on adaptive, fuzzy techniques, etc.) in response to a wide range of situations.

The main task of the project was the design of tools to evaluate the performance of controllers operating on real laboratory processes (such as temperature, flow rate, level, pH, etc.), obtaining theoretical performance metrics, designing benchmarks for controller evaluation, and performing a comparative analysis of the obtained results.


This project was carried out in coordination among the universities of Girona, Balearic Islands, Polytechnic of Catalonia, and the Polytechnic of Valencia.
