Simulation resultsβexact linearizing control law. The closed loop system was tested for a step profile of the ampicillin concentration reference. Panel (a) shows the time evolution of , , , and (i.e., 6-APA, PGME, PG, and methanol concentrations, resp.). In panel (b), the profiles of specific reaction rates , and are depicted. Panel (c) presents the output (ampicillin concentration) versus the reference profile . Panel (d) shows the control action, that is, the evolution of the dilution rate.
