I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...
Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...
The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...
Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...
Simulation of Chevron Canada Resources Ltd.'s Kaybob South No. 3 gas plant's sulfur-recovery unit (SRU) has been successful in steady state using the HYSYS process simulator and a very close match ...
How self-tuning can support an adaptive control strategy. How Model Reference Adaptive Control can improve adaptability. The different types of MRAC. A certain amount of flexibility is always good to ...
Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...
Chipmakers are relying on machine learning for electroplating and wafer cleaning at leading-edge process nodes, augmenting traditional fault detection/classification and statistical process control in ...
Increasingly tight tolerances and rigorous demands for quality are forcing chipmakers and equipment manufacturers to ferret out minor process variances, which can create significant anomalies in ...
