Resumen
The effect on the performance of the BSM1 is tested for different tuning of the controllers with several control strategies. The tuning method is the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning, which is based entirely on data measured from a simulated experiment on the plant. Several simulations were carried out to check the variability of the performance and the associated cost. Depending on the configuration, it was found that the change in the parameters could affect the Effluent Quality or the Operational Cost Index in different degree: a simpler strategy affects more the effluent quality while a complex strategy affects more the cost.
