In this paper, the properties and the design procedures of the internal model control (IMC) structures are discussed and a new nonlinear IMC(NIMC) strategy is proposed. The IMC controllers are simply inverse controller in principle but the development of a NIMC poses difficulties due to the inherent complexity of nonlinear systems. Existing design mehtods are a few and not easy to implement. The proposed approach is using multiple linear models, linear IMC controllers, and swiching scheme instead of using nonlinear model/controller. The advantages of the new approach are that we can use linear IMC mehtod which are now well estabilished and need not global nonlinear models.
