Techniques of Model-Based Control

The state-of-the-art publication in model-based process control by leading experts in the field.In Techniques of Model-Based Control, two leading experts bring together powerful advances in model-based control for chemical-process engineering. Coleman Brosilow and Babu Joseph focus on practical approaches designed to solve real-world problems, and they offer extensive examples and exercises.Coverage includes: The nature of the process-control problem and how model-based solutions help to solve it Continuous time modeling: time domain, Laplace domain, and FOPDT models Feedforward, cascade, override, and single-variable inferential control approaches One and two degree of freedom Internal Model Control Model State Feedback and PI/PID Implementations of IMC Tuning and synthesis of 1DF and 2DF IMC for process uncertainty Estimation and inferential control using multiple secondary measurements Basic and advanced techniques of model identification and model-predictive controlThe appendices review the basics of Laplace transforms, feedback control, frequency response analysis, probability, random variables, and linear least-square regression.From start to finish, Techniques of Model-Based Control offers the real-world insight that professionals need to identify and implement the best control strategies for virtually any process.Brosilow, Coleman is the author of 'Techniques of Model-Based Control', published 2002 under ISBN 9780130280787 and ISBN 013028078X.
