Wine fermentation in-process monitoring system (WIPS)

Objective

The WIPS project will make new developments in sensor technology for the support of the European wine industry and will produce innovative hybrid MSDF system designs. Indeed, the approach adopted is to be extended and advanced. The output information from the candidate MSDF system will be fed to the monitoring and prediction system. In the design of process monitoring systems due attention must be paid to the possible existence within the plant of time delays as they can cause instability problems. Generally when confronted with a system that possesses a time delay, in the past it has been usual to introduce some kind of Smith predictor or one of its variants into the control loop. Such approaches will be explored and applied in this study.Both the MSDF and control algorithms will be fully integrated into a 'software package using an appropriate high level computer language with an intuitive graphical user friendly interface. Each individual module and the complete package will be tested and validated on the basis of a simulated mathematical model of wine fermentation. Sensor work will focus on the calibration and incorporation of commercially available sensors where possible, these include pH, temperature and sugars (sucrose, glucose, fructose). An ethanol sensor is in the final stages of development as is a Lactic acid sensor. Innovative work will be required in the development of the Malic acid sensor and an S02 sensor.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
