Advanced Control Technology (sponsored by PCE I)

摘要

This course covers the application of model predictive control to complex pulp and paper processes fromrnthe initial stages of process bump testing and modeling to the final online controller testing. You will buildrna controller for a simulated plant running in real time and learn controller design techniques that can bernapplied to a variety of processes. Your classroom experience will include a combination of lecture andrnhands-on experience with software tools.rnDuring the course, you will learn and apply the following:rn1. PRBS bump testing to generate data for process modelsrn2. Process modeling using system identification toolsrn3. Design and off-line tuning of a model predictive controllerrn4. Communication between an advanced controller and an OPC serverrn5. Implementation of a completed controller designrnYou will leave the course with:rn1. Understanding of the algorithm behind model predictive controlrn2. The ability to implement a model predictive controller in a real plantrn3. Preprinted course notesrn4. Software for process modeling and controller design
