This thesis focuses on nonlinear robust process control synthesis and analysis. The theoretical fundamental is the L2 finite gain theory. The aim of this research is to gain better understanding of this theory and develop new process control synthesis and analysis methods for nonlinear processes with model uncertainties and unmeasured disturbances.The current nonlinear process control methods are examined in this thesis. The research scopes of this study are described as follows: 1/. To characterize the most common process control problems such as zero-offset requirement, presentation of model uncertainties and unknown disturbance in the L2 finite gain theory framework and solve the basic theoretical issues concerned in controller design. 2/. To solve numerical computation problems arising in the nonlinear controller. 3/. To investigate the relationship between robustness requirement and performance requirement for nonlinear systems in the L2 finite gain theory framework. 4/. To consider the common phenomenon such as time-delay in the new developed methods. 5/. To investigate the advantages of the controller based on the L2 finite gain theory over the current nonlinear control methods. A series of new systematic robust process control synthesis approaches are the main contributions of this study. Simulations show the potential of these newly developed methods. / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
