Most of the process control algorithms in practice are based on the finite dimensional control theory. However, many chemical processes are described by partial differential equations (PDE's) and are infinite dimensional in nature due to spatial variation. Especially when the convection is dominant and thus diffusion can be ignored, chemical processes that are described by a system of first order hyperbolic PDE's. Such processes include tubular reactors, fixed bed reactors and pressure swinging adsorption. Conventionally such infinite dimensional systems described by PDE's are controlled by finite dimensional controllers that are designed through finite dimensional reduction of the process m...

Feed rate in the fed-batch reactor is the most important control variable in optimizing the reactor performance. Exact solution can be obtained only for limited cases of simple reactor. The complexity of the model equations makes it extremely difficult to solve fur the general class of system models. Evolutionary programming method is proposed to get the information of the profile types, and the final profile is calculated by that information. The modified evolutionary programming method is used to get the more optimal profiles and it is demonstrated that proposed method can solve a wide range of optimal control problems.

A new method of designing multi-loop PID controllers is presented in this paper. By using the generalized IMC-PID method for multi-loop systems, the optimization problem involved in finding the PID parameters is efficiently simplified to find the optimum closed-loop time constant in a reduced search space. A weighted sum Mp criterion is proposed as a performance cost function to cope with both the performance and robustness of a multi-loop control system. Several illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the improved performance of the multi-loop PID controllers obtained by the proposed design method.

To enhance the production of flavonoids [baicalin, wogonin-7-Ο-glucuronic acid (GA)], which are secondary metabolites of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi(G.) plant cells, a multilayer perceptron control system was applied to regulate the substrate feeding in a fed-batch cultivation. The optimal profile for the substrate feeding rate in a fed-batch culture of S. baicalensis G. was determined by simulating a kinetic model using a genetic algorithm. Process variable profiles were then prepared for the construction of a multilayer perceptron controller that included massive parallelism, trainability, and fault tolerance. An error back-propagation algorithm was applied to train the multiplayer perceptron. The experimental results showed that neurocontrol incorporated with a genetic algorithm improved the flavonoid production compared with a simple fuzzy logic control system. Furthermore, the specific production yield and flavonoid productivity also increased.

Van de Vusse 반응기는 정상상태 입출력 관계에서 최대값을 그리고 이 최대값을 기준으로 동특성의 형태가 크게 바뀌는 특성을 보인다. 운전영역에 따라 정상상태 이득의 부호가 바뀌고, non-minimum phase 동특성 등의 제어를 매우 어렵게 하는 특성들이 나타난다. 매우 많은 비선형제어 방법들과 새로이 고안되고 있는 방법들이 이 Van de Vusse 반응기 공정에 적용되어 그 성능 검증이 이루어지고 있다. 이 반응기의 실제 예가 보고되어 있으나, 화학반응 특성상 제어기 실험에 일상적으로 사용되기에는 어려움이 많아 대부분 모사연구에 그치고 있다. 여기서는 이 Van de Vusse 반응기의 특성을 모두 구현하는 액위시스템을 제작하고, 새로이 고안되는 비선형 제어기의 성능을 밝히는 기준이 될 수 있는 간단한 두 제어 방법의 실험 결과를 제안하고자 한다. 액위시스템 실험장치와 제안된 제어 방법들은 매우 간단하며, 비선형 제어기의 성능과 현장 적용 가능성을 검증하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

몇몇 포화를 갖는 공정에서 경제적인 운전점이 포화시작점에 있게 된다. 고전적인 피드백 제어기는 포화시작점에서 동특성이 급박하게 바뀌고 포화가 된 상태에서는 피드백을 위한 정보가 없기 때문에 사용할 수가 없다. 포화점과 동특성이 알려져 있고 바뀌지 않을 때는 모델예측제어 같은 최적화를 기반으로 하는 방법들이 어려움 없이 이 제어 문제를 처리할 수 있다. 그렇지 않으면, 이 포화점과 등특성을 추적하는 적응 방법이 첨가되어야 한다. 여기서는, 이 제어 문제를 해결할 수 있는 매우 간단한 방법들로서, 최근의 slope seeking method와 relay feedback method에 기반한 두가지 제어 방법을 제안한다. 포화현상을 갖는 이차 액위제어 공정에 적용한 모사를 통하여 그 성능을 검사하였다. 모사결과는 제안하는 본 제어 방법들이 포화시작점을 5% 이내로 찾고 유지하는 것을 보여주고 있다.

A problem of task rescheduling using a coordinator in a structural decentralized control of supervisory control theory is formulated. we consider that the overall system is divided into a number of local systems. Using an example of a chemical batch reaction process, it has shown that after local supervisors have been established for a given task, a coordinator can be used to solve some rescheduling problems among local plants for new or modified tasks. The coordination system models the interactions of local plants, and is consisting of only the shared events of local plants, so simpler to synthesize. A coordinator is designed based on the specifications given for the coordination system. Under the 'structural' conditions developed in this paper, the combined concurrent actions of the coordinator with the existing local supervisors will achieve the rescheduling requirements. Again since the conditions are structural (not specification-dependent), once the coordination architecture has been established, it can be used for a number of different tasks without further verifications.

Distributed Control System has been used for large scale and critical system control such as aerospace industries, chemical and power plant and so on. It is very impotant factors for design of the control system to be reliable and fault-tolerant. These control systems have backup or redundant processing modules for minimizing the time of failure and improving reliability. But such methods have changeover duration from faulty module to healthy one. During that interval, feedback control loop raises bumper and performance of the system become worse. TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy) control system is one of the best reliable ones that can overcome such a mortal drawback. This paper analyzes the components of TMR system functionally and proposes practical and cost effective configuration method for turbine control of thermal power plant.

Inherently safe plants are maintained through the systematic identification of potential hazards, and various hazard evaluation methods have been developed. Recently, much effort is given into the development of automated hazard evaluation system by introducing the expert system. An automated system will help to obtain consistency and to make the result more reliable. HAZOP study is one of the most systematic and logical evaluation procedure. However, it has disadvantages: experts should participate at the same time, the detailed study requires much man-hour, and the results depend on the expertise of the experts. Therefore, the automation of hazard evaluation is necessary to reduce the required time and to get the consistent evaluation results. In this study, HAxSYM, an expert system to automate HAZOP study, is developed. The case studies are performed to validate the effectiveness of the developed system, and the results are compared to the results of traditional method.
