Nonlinear modeling, estimation and predictive control of cryogenic air separation columns

Cryogenic air separation columns produce high-purity air components for various industries. The need to operate these very high-purity columns over a wide range of production rates in response to time-varying electrical costs motivates the development of nonlinear control strategies. First-principle...
