Feedforward Control

F. Haugen. Process Control. NMBU. 2018. 1


Why?
• Faster disturbance compensation
and/or
• Faster setpoint tracking (important only
with time-varying setpoint)

How?
• Connecting disturbance measurement
signal directly to the actuator (the control
signal)

What is needed?
• Measurement of disturbance(s)
and
• Process knowledge
in the form of some mathematical model

Example 1:
Feedforward control in a temperature control system
(We will run a simulator of this example.)

F. Haugen. Process Control. NMBU. 2018. 4


Example 1 cont.:
How to derive the feedforward controller:
(1) Process modelling: Energy balance:

(2) The feedforward controller is obtained by


solving for the control variable, and
substituting the process variable by its setpoint:

Can it be implemented?
Find out by inspecting the right-hand side!
All terms must have known values.
Which sensors are needed?

Let's derive the feedforward controller (it is quite easy).
