Book Synopsis Advanced Process Control by : Cecil L. Smith
Download or read book Advanced Process Control written by Cecil L. Smith. This book was released on 2011-02-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills the gap between basic control configurations (Practical Process Control) and model predictive control (MPC). For those loops whose performance has a direct impact on plant economics or product quality, going beyond simple feedback or cascade can improve control performance, or specifically, reduce the variance about the target. However, the effort required to implement such control technology must be offset by increased economic returns from production operations. The economic aspects of the application of the various advanced control technologies are stressed throughout the book.
