AI-Assisted Gain Scheduling for Real-Time Temperature Control in Chemical Reactors
Abstract: Temperature control in continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) represents a critical challenge in chemical process industries due to inherent nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and parametric uncertainties. Conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers with fixed gains often fail to maintain optimal performance across varying operating conditions, leading to temperature excursions that compromise product quality and safety. This paper presents a novel AI-assisted gain scheduling framework that integrates artificial neural networks (ANN) with adaptive PID control …
