Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Modern control systems can be configured to operate efficiently during on-site commissioning. Unfortunately the performance of the controllers often deteriorates over time and in some cases can result in the abandonment of the controller altogether. In the industrial arena, where there may be thousands of control loops on a single plant, simple maintainability of the control systems is critical to their success. Unfortunately, the complexity of modern plants and control systems makes this task extremely challenging. To extract the full benefits of advanced control systems over long periods of any time it is crucial that a system be developed to automatically detect and identify the cause of any closed loop abnormality.To reflect the recent shift in process operations from continuous to bath systems, the work detailed in this proposal will investigate the development of a control loop monitor for batch processes.
