Non-Linear PI Control Inspired by Biological Control Systems

Abstract

A non-linear modification to PI control is motivated by a model of a signal transduction pathway active in mammalian blood pres(cid:173) sure regulation. This control algorithm, labeled PII (proportional with intermittent integral), is appropriate for plants requiring ex(cid:173) act set-point matching and disturbance attenuation in the presence of infrequent step changes in load disturbances or set-point. The proportional aspect of the controller is independently designed to be a disturbance attenuator and set-point matching is achieved by intermittently invoking an integral controller. The mechanisms observed in the Angiotensin 11/ AT1 signaling pathway are used to control the switching of the integral control. Improved performance over PI control is shown on a model of cyc1opentenol production. A sign change in plant gain at the desirable operating point causes traditional PI control to result in an unstable system. Applica(cid:173) tion of this new approach to this problem results in stable exact set-point matching for achievable set-points.
