Self-tuning prediction and control for two-dimensional processes part 2: parameter estimation, set-point tracking and offset handling

We consider some of the issues of implementing the prediction and control algorithms of the companion paper (Heath and Weltstead 1994). The algorithms are suitable for setting in self-tuning mode by combining them with recursive parameter estimation algorithms. The problems of set-point tracking and offset handling are also considered. It is shown that if the two-dimensional process can be modelled as incremental, then the solution is particularly staightforward. Throughout, the results are illustrated by simulations.
