Performance Comparison and Energy Consumption Index Between MPC and FuzzyPID in Small-scaled Agarwood Distillation Pot

Abstract

This paper highlights a performance comparison and evaluation on energy consumption between Model Predictive Controller (MPC) and self-tuning FuzzyPID. First-Order-Plus-Dead-Time (FOPDT) is developed to model a hydro distillation process behaviour. In this study, the approaches of control strategy is intended to optimise the energy consumption as well as to improve the performance on transient response. Therefore, the best controller will be identified for this hydro distillation system. The analyses result on performance of the transient response and energy consumption are been performed. It was found that, MPC was capable to eliminate overshoot, achieved faster response in settling time and consumed lower energy usage than FuzzyPID.
