The goal of this project encompasses the design, development, and implementation of a model-based temperature control (MBTC) system to improve the capability of a vertical furnace in a production environment. The approach integrates thermal dynamic modeling of the furnace with robust H∞ multivariable controller design to replace older PID control systems while enabling easy conversion within a manufacturing environment. Initial evaluation of the design utilized an oxidation furnace with the…
