Optimal Tension Regulation of a Strip Winding Process

摘要

An optimal tension regulator system is designed for a steel strip winding process. A simplified dynamic model of the winding process contains a parametric nonlinearity due to variations of the coil radius. A parameter imbedding technique is applied to derive the optimum feedback control for a range of parameter values. Simulation results are given for an implementation of the regulator system designed using the numerical values from a real plant. (Author)
