PROBLEM 5

5.1 Background of problem

In industrial processes, particularly in multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) control systems,


determining the best control configuration is crucial for achieving effective performance. Many
processes involve several interacting variables, which can lead to control challenges such as poor
system performance or instability if not properly managed.

Consider a chemical plant where multiple reactions are occurring simultaneously, requiring the
regulation of temperature, pressure, and flow rates in various reactors. In such a system, the
inputs could be manipulated variables such as the amount of heat supplied to the reactors or the
rate at which chemicals are injected. The outputs, on the other hand, could be variables like
reactor temperature, pressure, or product composition.

Analysis

To calculate the steady-state gain matrix G(0), which is a 2x2 matric, we substitute s=0 into
each element of the matrix:

And we obtain the matric below

G(0) = [ 1.318
0.038 ∞ ]
0

To calculate the relative gain array RGA;

We use the formula; RGA = G(0) ᶱ G−T (0)

Where G−T ( 0 ) is the inverse of the transpose of the steady gain matrix G(0) and ᶱ denotes the
element-wise (hadamard) product.

G (0 ) = (1.318
0
0.038
∞ )
The inverse of GT ( 0 ) involves inverting the matrix. However, since one of the elements is
infinite, it creates a challenge in directly computing the inverse. The system with an infinite
value at steady state suggests that the system is unbounded or unstable in certain modes.

Interpretation

 The presence of infinity in the matrix at steady state makes the computation of the RGA
undefined. This suggests that the system has an unstable or unbounded component.
 The zero gain in one of the elements also suggests that the pairing for that input/output is
impractical.

(b)

The following steps will be taken:

 Steady-State Gain Matrix G(0).


 Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse of G(0).
 RGA Calculation for the non-square system.
 Condition Number of G(0).
 Analysis of all 2x2 Subsystems: RGA, Niederlinski Index (NI), and Condition Number

Steady-State Gain Matrix G(0)

Substitute s=0 in each element of the transfer function matrix:

G(0)= (0.004
0.5 0.07 0.04
−0.003 −0.001 )
Moore-Penrose Pseudoinverse of G(0)

+¿¿
For non-square matrices, we need the Moore-Penrose pseudoinverse G (0) to compute the RGA.

+¿¿
G (0) = G T (0)G(0)G T (0)−1

G(0)GT (0) = (

0.001325 0.000026 )
