Abstract [eng] An adaptive control system for the set-point control and disturbance rejection of biotechnological-process parameters is presented. The gain scheduling of PID (PI) controller parameters is based on only controller input/output signals and does not require additional measurement of process variables for controller-parameter adaptation. Realization of the proposed system does not depend on the instrumentation-level of the bioreactor and is, therefore, attractive for practical application. A simple gain-scheduling algorithm is developed, using tendency models of the controlled process. Dissolved oxygen concentration was controlled using the developed control system. The biotechnological process was simulated in fed-batch operating mode, under extreme operating conditions (the oxygen uptake-rate’s rapidly and widely varying, feeding and aeration rate disturbances). In the simulation experiments, the gain-scheduled controller demonstrated robust behavior and outperformed the compared conventional PI controller with fixed parameters.
