It is strongly recommended that anyone taking WS-130-2E have previously taken ME-200-3E or SE-100-3E or the equivalent.
This course will be taught over the course of two days to professionals concerned with process performance.
The course will follow a modular schedule with the following structure:
Day 1: Advanced Strategies Based on PID Control
Enhanced PID Control
- Cascade control
- Selective control
- Override control
- Coarse fine control
- Static and dynamic decoupling
- Obtaining the decoupling models
- Hands on with decoupling control
Feedforward Control
- Static and dynamic
- Obtaining the FF model and tuning
- Non-linear feedforward control
- Using many feedforward signals on the same variable
- Hands on with feedforward control
Day 2: Beyond PID Control
Dynamic Modeling & Simulation to Solve Process Control
Problems
- Using empirical models
- Using dynamic material and energy balances
- Case Study: Distillation column overhead condenser pressure study
Fuzzy Logic
- Fuzzy sets
- Fuzzy rules
- Fuzzification and defuzzification
- Hands on with fuzzy logic
Multivariable Process Control/APC
- Differentiating between MPC, APC, Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic, and Advanced Regulatory Control
- The difference between feedforward, feedback, and MPC
- Theory and components of MPC
- Implementation of MPC
- Hands on with MPC/APC
