Comments to the Author

This paper presents an interesting application of ……. With revision

this paper could be of similar quality to other papers published in TCST. Following two

issues need to be addressed while revising the manuscript.

…….

Reviewer: 2

The authors have provided little motivation for the publication of this paper. …… has been successful because of its ability to handle multivariable systems with constraints. The problem, as presented by the authors, has neither problem. For some reason, …… is applied in a SISO loop to regulate ……, while PI control is used to regulate …….

The paper is poorly written, with many misspellings and a seemingly random placement of content. I see no need to compare … with …. Also, all of the hardware and software details for the implementation of the controller are largely irrelevant. The readers will not care what microprocessor was used, for example.

The … strategy is poorly presented. The classical additive output disturbance assumption is presented in equation (25), yet the point of the paper is to use …….

The overall control strategy is also not clear. The authors use ……, but …… is not shown in any plots.

How do the authors even guarantee that the ……?

Reviewer: 1

Comments to the Author

I believe that the authors have made a serious and thorough effort to address all the issues ans points of criticism raised by the reviewers. However, they still need to:

i) take a final look and improve the English in various parts of the text

ii) show that all assumptions and conditions of the paper's theoretical section are met in the case study under consideration.
