Reducing Energy Cost Through Improved Disturbance Rejection
Two of the most popular architectures for improving regulatory performance and increasing profitability are 1) cascade control and 2) feed forward with feedback trim.
Model-Based Tuning Methods For PID Controllers
The manner in which a measured process variable responds over time to changes in the controller output signal is fundamental to the design and tuning of a PID controller.
Demystifying Performance Assessment Techniques
Real-time performance monitoring to identify poorly or under-performing loops has become an integral part of preventative maintenance.
Modeling Non-Steady State Data for PID Controller Tuning in a Cogeneration Power Plant
A 25 MW combined-cycle cogeneration plant at the University of Connecticut supplies electricity to the entire UConn campus with three natural gas combustion turbine generators and one high pressure steam
Utilizing Power Spectrum to Isolate Persistent Control Problems and to Improve Plant Profitability
Control problems range from malfunctioning valves to clogged heat exchangers along with most everything in between.
