Detection of Sluggish Control Loops in Irrigation Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we apply the algorithm for detection of sluggish control loops developed in (Hägglund, 1999) to irrigation channels. The controller is a PI controller augmented with a low pass filter together with a decoupling term to reduce the interaction between reaches. In simulations, the algorithm is able to distinguish between well tuned controllers and controllers that give sluggish responses. When applied to real data, filtering and deadzones are included in the algorithm to make it more robust. The modified algorithm is then applied to real data from three consecutive reaches of an irrigation channel, and it detects the control loops which need retuning. Copyright c 2005 IFAC

Performance Monitoring of Control Loops in Irrigation Channels Using Reference Models
In this paper a new approach for detection of oscillatory and sluggish controllers is developed. It is specifically aimed at control systems where rejection of load disturbances is the main control objective, and it is based on comparing the actual system output with the output of a reference model. A number of performance measures are defined, and the user can also define additional tailor mad...
متن کاملDetection of Oscillatory Control Loops in Irrigation Channels
In this paper the algorithm for detection of oscillatory control loops developed in Hägglund (1995) is applied to irrigation channels. The water levels in irrigation channels are controlled using mechanical gates. The controller configuration is a decentralized distant downstream scheme where a gate controls the water level upstream of the next downstream gate. The controller is a PI controller...

متن کاملA Finite State Machine Framework for Control Performance Assessment
Process control loops undergo a variety of conditions during their routine operation such as setpoint changes, disturbances, slow drifts, etc. in addition to normal operation. Monitoring the control performance of these loops is an important activity to ensure satisfactory operation, reduce variability and equipment wear, and detect problems such as oscillating behavior, sluggish or out-of-cont...
متن کاملDesign of Generalized Predictive Control for the Stabilizing Loop from a two-axis Gimbal Seeker, Considering Cross-Coupling in Between two Channels
In this research, Generalized Predictivecontrol (GPC) is proposed for the control of a stabilizing loop from a two axis gimbal seeker. In fact, there are some views about using GPC type controller which are two folds. First, it drives the stabilization loops that are made by a DC motor, Rate Gyro, inertia and cross coupling unit in between two channels using the predictive model type controller...
