A perturbed Port-Hamiltonian approach for the stabilization of homogeneous reaction systems via the control of vessel extents

•Writing the decoupled dynamics of homogeneous reaction systems into a perturbed Port-Hamiltonian representation.•Providing a novel analysis and design tool for asymptotic stabilization.•Tracking-error passivity-based control design with complete state and kinetic information.•Tracking-error passivity-based control design using partial state measurements without kinetic information.•The closed loop control performance is discussed and numerically compared with that of a nonlinear PI controller.
