Modelling Valve Stiction 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence of nonlinearities, e.g., stiction, and deadband in a control valve limits the control loop performance. Stiction is the most commonly found valve problem in the process industry. In spite of many attempts to understand and model the stiction phenomena, there is a lack of a proper model, which can be understood and related directly to the practical situation as observed in real valves in the process industry. This study focuses on the understanding, from real life data, of the mechanism that causes stiction and proposes a new data-driven model of stiction, which can be directly related to real valves. It also validates the simulation results generated using the proposed model with that from a physical model of the valve. Finally, valuable insights on stiction have been obtained from the describing function analysis of the newly proposed stiction model.

Fuzzy gain scheduling of PID controller for stiction compensation in pneumatic control valve
Inherent nonlinearities like, deadband, stiction and hysteresis in control valves degenerate plant performance. Valve stiction standouts as a more widely recognized reason for poor execution in control loops. Measurement of valve stiction is essential to maintain scheduling. For industrial scenarios, loss of execution due to nonlinearity in control valves is an imperative issue that should be t...

In this paper, a procedure for quantifying valve stiction in control loops based on ant colony optimization has been proposed. Pneumatic control valves are widely used in the process industry. The control valve contains non-linearities such as stiction, backlash, and deadband that in turn cause oscillations in the process output. Stiction is one of the long-standing problems and it is the most ...
