Descripción
Resumen:This paper addresses the challenge of trajectory tracking in non-minimum-phase systems, which are known for their limitations in performance and stability within process control. The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using linear-algebra-based control strategies to achieve precise tracking in such systems. The primary hypothesis is that internal model-based compensators can transform non-minimum-phase behavior into equivalent minimum-phase dynamics, thereby enabling the application of linear algebra techniques for controller design. To validate this approach, both simulation and experimental tests are conducted, first with a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) model and then with the TCLab educational platform. The results show that the proposed method effectively achieves robust trajectory tracking, even in the presence of external disturbances and sensor noise. The primary contribution of this work is to demonstrate that internal model-based compensation enables the application of linear control methods to a class of systems that are typically considered challenging to control. This not only simplifies the design process but also enhances control performance, highlighting the practical relevance and applicability of the approach for real-world non-minimum-phase systems processes.
