The advanced control and optimization in tobacco strips processing

摘要

The paper introduces briefly the tobacco strips processing procedure, pointing out the economical and social benefits. It lists the theories of the online adaptive optimization and the generalized predictive control algorithm. The control and optimization schemes are implemented on an advanced adaptive control and optimization workstation. Through the system reconstruction and software configuration, the workstation can be integrated into the existing computer monitoring system. The schemes aims at increasing the filling density of tobacco strips and controlling the water content percentage on the set-point within the permitted bound.
