Resumo:
Data-Driven Control (DDC) methods have gained prominence in recent decades because
they do not require the parametric process model to tune industrial controllers. In this
work, the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) technique is evaluated in the design of
Lookup Table (LUT) and polynomial gain schedulers, which are used to continuously adjust
the gains of adaptive Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers. The objective of
the control is to apply these gain schedulers in the control of nonlinear processes, so that the
closed-loop system follows a desired dynamic, defined by a reference model. Thus, it is also
the objective of this work to present a methodology to define a linear reference model from
data obtained of a nonlinear system. The performance validation of the gain schedulers,
according to the dynamic of the proposed reference model, is performed based on the IAE,
IAU and IAOE metrics. The results show greater efficiency of the closed-loop control with
the adaptive PID controller and gain schedulers compared to the fixed-gain PID controller.
