A model-predictive controller for grain drying
Crossflow grain drying is a non-linear process with a long delay; it is difficult to control. A model-predictive control system for crossflow dryers is presented. Simulation tests on a virtual dryer showed that the controller performed well over a wide range of drying conditions. It was tested on a commercial crossflow corn dryer and showed excellent accuracy and stability.
