 Normal Boundary Intersection Applied to Controllers in Environmental ControlsFabiano Luiz Naves A chapter in Biosensors for Environmental Monitoring from IntechOpen Abstract: Generally, the controllers currently used and implemented in the environmental field have certain set point values, which are pre-calibrated according to a specific process characteristic. However, instability in environmental processes is a difficult variable to fix. Thus, the use of numerous set points for specific process conditions may be a way of controlling instability. One way to obtain numerous setups within a working region is to use optimization algorithms for the construction of the Pareto frontier, each point of the boundary being represented by a different and at the same time optimum setup of operation. In this context, the construction of a Pareto frontier for a multiobjective and multivariate problem, established from an environmental problem, can be a way of getting around the problem of process instability. This chapter has a main objective to demonstrate the possibility of using the algorithm Normal Boundary Intersection (NBI), originally enunciated by Karna, as a precursor for the construction of the Pareto frontier, as well as the possibility of implementing the generated function for implementation in programmable logic systems.
