Module TKP10 Process Control, Advanced Course. Master specialization module (3.75 EDU; must be taken together with another 3.75 EDU module to get full course)
Main topic: PLANTWIDE PROCESS CONTROL
Note: For some students this module constitutes 50% of the PhD-course KP8115.
Course material: Copies from scientific papers and books including
* New paper (2023) on "Advanced control using decomposition and simple elements"
* Chapter 10 in Skogestad and Postlethwaite, "Multivariable Feedback Control, Wiley, 2010
------------
Module overview: TKP10 Advanced process control (better name: PLANTWIDE PROCESS CONTROL)
This is a module (half a normal course) offered to the 5th year students at NTNU.
It is taught every autumn, starting in late August.
Learning outcome : The student should be able to design plantwide control system
Teaching activities: Lectures, computer simulation. exercises.
Topics:
1. Formulating the problem of optimal operation as a steady-state optimization problem
2. Choice of economic controlled variables (CVs): Identifying active constraints, and unconstrained degrees of freedom (including self-optimising variables)
3. Choice of control structure for inventory control, including location of throughput manipulator
4. Design of base layer control (regulatory control, stabilizing control)
5. Simple PID tuning rules
6. How to set up "advanced" (multivariabnle) control structures using simple controller blocks.
Examples of such control elements are cascade control, selectors (override), split range control, input or valve position control (VPC), multiple controllers (and MVs) for the same CV, and nonlinear calculation blocks (including nonlinear feedforward and decoupling and linearizing adaptive gain elements).
Grading:
In principle, the grade is based on an oral examination, but in practise it will be based on this:
1. Short written exam (3 hours) 80%
2. Exercises 20%
3. In some cases there could be an oral discussion to clarify the final grade
Note that the grade wil be given in % as it counts only 50% for the overall grade
