Feedforward-Feedback Control of a Cross-Flow Grain Dryer

David Platt, Tom R. Rumsey and Ahmet Palazoglu

Hilgardia, 1992, vol. 60, issue 1

Abstract: A feedforward-feedback control of a cross-flow dryer is developed based on a simple mass balance on the dryer, rather than on indirect approaches and empirical relations. The feedforward action is based on a pseudo inlet moisture and adjusts the grain flow to correct for inlet moisture variations. A feedback loop is also added to account for possible process changes and model inaccuracies.
