Using process topology in plant-wide control loop performance assessment
This contribution describes how disturbances in a control system can be isolated and diagnosed automatically based on plant topology. In order to demonstrate this, a prototype software has been designed and implemented which, when given an electronic process schematic of a plant and results from a data-driven analysis, allows the user to pose queries about the plant and to find root causes of p...
متن کاملProcess Performance through Critical Control Loop Optimization
In the refining industry, process optimization typically begins with a process engineer collecting operation data to perform a heat and weight balance and to evaluate the catalyst activity. Based on the current trends and operating conditions, the setpoint(s) on critical process control loops (loops that affect unit stability and bottom line economic benefits) may need to be adjusted manually o...
متن کاملDevelopment of CAD for Plant-Wide Control Loop Configuration
For plant-wide control, many single loop controllers are utilized. Although tuning of a control loop is focused in control theory, control loop configuration problem is more essential problem. If control loop configuration is not adequate, controller cannot be stabilized with any tuning of controller parameters. Moreover, controller can be unstable by mode change of some other controllers. Thes...
متن کاملAdvances and New Directions in Plant-wide Controller Performance Assessment
This article reviews advances in detection and diagnosis of plant-wide control system disturbances in chemical processes and discusses new directions that look promising for the future. Causes of plant-wide disturbances include non-linear limit cycles in control loops, controller interactions and tuning problems. The diagnosis of non-linearity, especially when due to valve stiction, has been an...
متن کاملControl Loop Performance Measures in the Evaluation of Process Economics
The number of control loops used in industry is growing continuously and there are problems in keeping them working at a satisfactory level. One reason for the poor performance is the lack of maintenance of control loops. Economical benefits can result from the better maintenance of control loops. In this paper the economic aspects of control loop performance measures are discussed. A strategy ...
