ADVANCED CONTROL STRATEGIES
Feed forward, cascade, dead time compensation, split range, selective and override control; automatic tuning and gain scheduling.
INTERNAL MODEL CONTROL
Model based control – IMC structure – development and design; IMC based PID control, MPC.
MULTIVARIABLE CONTROL
Control loop interaction – general pairing problem, relative gain array and application, sensitivity. Multivariable control – zeros and performance limitations, directional sensitivity and operability, decoupling.
DISCRETE SYSTEMS
Z – Transform and inverse Z – transform properties, Discrete – Time Response of dynamic system, Pulse Transfer Function, Closed Loop System Stability.
DIGITAL FEEDBACK CONTROLLERS
Design of digital feedback controllers, digital approximation of classical, effect of sampling, Case study of Industrial Instrumentation and Control system, DCS, PLC, shutdown system.
