Cascade control Introduction to multivariable control : variable coupling, RGA analysis, decoupling
Introduction to digital control systems |
 |
| Course objective : | Introduction to practical methods used to control chemical processing operations (heat exchange, reactors, distillation)
Gaining notions allowing a chemical engineer to discuss with a control engineer |
 |
| Prerequisites : | Modelling of basic unit operations (reactors, heat exchangers) both in steady state and in dynamics
Solving differential equation systems (linear and non-linear) |
 |
| Workshops : | Illustration of concepts discussed during the lectures using simulations (using dynamic simulation software)
Identification of an approximate model from an experimental response curve.
Tuning the parameters of a PID controller; influence of parameters on control efficiency.
Some more complex control schemes : feedforward, cascade control, decoupling. |
