Figure 2.6. Decomposition of a process with a single integrator 2.4 Prediction The key to any model-based controller lies in its ability to predict the process response using a model that may be physically realised, i.e., a causal model. We will return to the issues of model and system identification in Chapter 7. In fact, Jetermining the response of a process over time is equivalent to the classical problem of solving differential or difference equations. For convenience, we recall the fundamental concepts used in solving such equations. The solution of a linear differential or finite-difference equation. from the

The value can vary as a function of an internal or external process variable (e.g., tracking error). Usually, a future action is sought such that the predicted future response corresponds with several fixed points on the reference trajectory, which are referred to as coincidence points.

Influence of the desired CLTR (CLTRD) on the real CLTR (CLTRR) with a coincidence point h = 30 re The reference trajectory must be re-initialised at each sample point on the actual measured value of the process output. It is possible to implement such a procedure for a first-order process. However, this is not generally the case for processes of a higher order because / must be chosen greater than 1. If the desired and resulting CLTR are similar and, more importantly, change in the same manner, this does not pose any practical problems when tuning. We will use a third- order process with a OLTR = =12s to help us understand

Figure 5.14. Sensitivity function (“hill curve”): mod(CV/DV)/Disturbance period As discussed in Section 5.4, the CLTR has a strong impact on the sensitivity function. In the case of the CLTR =180s and h=75s we obtain the results shown in Figure 5.14. Note that the shorter the CLTR, the higher the peak of the sensitivity function. But, for low frequencies the disturbance rejection is better. So, it is clear that knowledge of the disturbance spectrum should be exploited in the selection of the CLTR. Figure 5.15. demonstrates the time-domain response of the system to a step disturbance with a step disturbance taken into account.

Figure 6.7. Cascade control with back calculation In the case of cascade control (see Section 7.3) it is crucial that the contraints or the physical MV of the inner controller should be transferred to the outet controller. The inner loop contains a physical actuator (pump, efc.) that may routinely function at its operational limits (e.g., max./min. amplitudes and speed) restricting the regulation performance and the outer regulator’s internal mode’ becomes invalid. Consequently, “transferring” this constraint to the outer regulato1 ensures that the set-point presented to the inner regulator (MV of the outet controller) does not violate any such conditions. The inner controller essentially behaves as though it had been informed of the restriction a priori.

So, from ai aput—output perspective, we just add another feedback loop around the mai ontroller. Thus, this additional loop may affect the global stability of the closed oop system. In practice, an attenuated version of the estimated disturbance is fe ack in the form: Dist” = K.Dist’, where K <1. Example 7.1.

It is first necessary to distinguish between functional variables and physical variables. The variable MVFis a functional variable that operates linearly on the dynamic equation of the process. A non-linear relationship exists between MVF and the variable MV@® that physically acts on the process. If this relationship is one-to-one mapping (i.e., a unique mapping exists between each value of MVF and its corresponding MV® and vice versa) and stationary, it is possible to determine a regulator with MVF and subsequently calculate the appropriate value of MV® to apply (see Figure 7.16). The CV should be treated in the same manner. If a one-to-one mapping and stationary relationship exists between the CV® and CVF, the reference trajectory may be initialised using a calculated point CVF according to the measured CVO . Consider the case of a first-order dynamic process, where the relationship between MVF and MV® is generally a polynomial of degree B, where MV® = MVF’. The output is a polynomial of degree 4 CV®=k.CVF“. This simplification facilitates the inversion of these functions. In general, it is possible

Figure 10.15. Comparison of the PID and PFC control with pure delay (175 I/h) The initial high-frequency component of MV of the PID regulator has no effect on the output, while the equivalent PFC regulator MV is smoother. A sensor is placed at a distance from the process, resulting in the introduction of a time delay (or transportation lag). Figure 10.15 shows that the resulting behaviour of the PID regulator is marginally stable. On the other hand, the behaviour of the PFC does not vary since the time delay is accounted for in the internal model.

Figure 10.14. Comparison of PID and PFC (175 I/h) control The response times of the two regulators were recorded as shown in Figure 10.14. It can be seen that the PID regulator, “tightly” controlled by an experienced independent human operator, is close to instability. Its 95% response time is approximately 82 s; whereas the predictive regulator produces a response time of 36 s. Note, the behaviour of the Q, (MV) in each case is very different.

Figure 10.18. Continuous casting. Level control of the liquid-steel mould and tundish L0.4.1.2 Control Loops The weight of the steel in the tundish is regulated by a controller whose function is to ensure a relatively constant level while taking any MV constraints into account, i.e., the rotary nozzle. This actuator is a fragile and expensive mechanism consisting of two superimposed, heat-resistant plates; one stationary and the other mobile. Each plate possesses a circular hole; the flow control is achieved by altering the relative positions of the mobile opening. It is important to minimise any rotational movements of the mobile plate in order to limit wear and increase the actuator life span.

The regulation of the fluid level in the heating drum is critical. If the ball were to run dry, this would quickly result in the destruction of the evaporation tubes. Conversely, an overflow in the heating drum would result in harmful liquid water entering the turbo-alternators. The flow required by the various steam consumers variables considerably and thus affects the level of the lower steam drum.
