Chemical process control
Summary
Provide the students with basic notions and tools for the modeling and analysis of dynamic systems. Show them how to design controllers and analyze the performance of controlled systems.
Content
- Principles of automatic control
- Modeling of chemical and biological processes
- Concept of transfer function
- Basic control: on/off, PID
- Stability of control systems
- Advanced control
- Elements of digital control
- Sensors and actuators
Keywords
Mathematical modeling, transfer function, time analysis, PID control, advanced control
Learning Prerequisites
Required courses
- Analysis
- Physics
Important concepts to start the course
- Master the basics of mathematical analysis
- Master basic concepts of general physics
- Master the concepts of material and energy balances
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Analyze a linear dynamic system (temporal and frequency approaches), A4
- Construct and analyze a discrete model for a dynamic system, A7
- Design a PID controller, A9
- Dimension a simple controller for a dynamic system, A10
- Work out / Determine the stability, performance and robustness of a closed-loop system, A14
- Define (specifications) control performances adapted to dynamic systems, A15
- Design and select control solutions, formulate trade-offs, choose options, A16
Transversal skills
- Manage priorities.
- Assess one's own level of skill acquisition, and plan their on-going learning goals.
