Plant-wide control implies advanced supervisory algorithms to maintain desired performance in the involved coupled sub-systems. The dynamical interactions among these sub-systems can vary with the operating point, material properties and disturbances present in the process. Recirculating loops introduce additional phenomena in the dynamic response, further challenging the control tasks. Complex process dynamics may be linear parameter varying (LPV) and may be difficult, if not impossible, to identify properly. In this context, maintaining global performance is a challenge one must undertake with limited information at hand. This paper investigates the trade-off between the complexity of the implementation and achieved performance, using supervisory predictive control with limited information shared, applied on a test-bench representative for process control industry. The robustness of the proposed algorithms is tested against a nominal scenario in which the prediction model is fully identified, with complete information exchange. Experimental tests are performed on a test-bench process characterized by strong interactions, and the results illustrate the usefulness of this work. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
