Multi-model decoupled generic model control

The control performance of GMC (Generic Model Control, Lee and Sullivan, 1988) using steady-state models (Cott et al, 1989) to control distributed parameter systems can be significantly undermined by the lack of appropriate dynamic information. A decoupling strategy has been integrated inter the GMC framework in order to compensate for dynamic mismatch. The approach (Multi-Model Decoupler, MMD) is based upon using a separate model inverse for the calculation of each manipulated variable. The additional model inputs provide the extra degrees of freedom that allow for dynamic compensation.
