Process Control and Optimization

• people with no experience/expertise in the topic
• professional engineers faced with a control engineering problem who need to enhance their knowledge of the field
• managers who have control engineers working for them and who wish to better understand their job role
• managers who have control engineers working for them and who wish to better understand their job role
• people that are looking for a refreshments on the identification and control principles

This course is divided into two separate modules:

Module 1: Process Identification: (1/2-day)

• Fundamentals of process identification
• Understanding process dynamics
• Identification at operator level (e.g. first order plus dead time approximation model)
• systems identification from relay experiments (PRBS identification)

Module 2: PID-based process control (1/2-day)

• PID based control for process optimization
• Auto-tuning methods for PID design
• Frequency response design for PID design (FRTool)

The session will end with an overview of advanced process control methodologies (e.g. model predictive control, event-based control, etc.) able to ensure plant-wide optimization.

• One week prior to the course, the registered participants will receive further information (directions, parking availabilities, course material).
• Upon completion of the training, a certificate of attendance will be made available on the platform.
• Additionally, the participant will receive an evaluation form to provide feedback on this training.
