Dynamic Matrix Control DMC using the Tuning Procedure based on First Order Plus Dead Time for Infant-Incubator

Abstract

The concept of Model Predictive Control (MPC) is considered as one of the most important controlling strategies. It is used in several fields, such as petrochemical, oil refinery, fertilizer and chemical plants. It is also well spread among the clinicians and in the biomedical fields. In this context, our paper aims to investigate the thermal conditions inside the infant incubator for premature babies. In this study, we propose the Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) as a control strategy. The most particularity of this strategy is applicable to the Multi-input Multi-output (MIMO) systems. It aims to compare different coupled transfer functions achieved by two identification methods in previous work. Also, a simulation of the air temperature and humidity is achieved inside the unit care. In this work, we focus on the tuning controlling parameters because it is considered as a key step in the successful performance of (DMC). Then, to obtain the (DMC), we have used an analytic tool, which is the Process Reaction Curve (PRC), for higher order transfers function because it needs a lot of work for this purpose. It should be approximated as a low order transfer function with time delay, which is achieved by using the First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) of processing models. Finally, the result of the comparison of the infant-incubator is provided to show an optimal and good performance of the thermal behavior of our propos methodology and prove that a good identification ensures a better performance.
