Control schemes

The control scheme tries to choose the stepsize t so that 111 11 = TOL in some adequate norm. In case of a tolerance exceeding error, i.e., for Herll > TOL, one reduces the stepsize according to... 

Fig. 3. Stepsize r used in the simulation of the collinear photo dissociation of ArHCl the adaptive Verlet-baaed exponential integrator using the Lanczos iteration (dash-dotted line) for the quantum propagation, and a stepsize controlling scheme based on PICKABACK (solid line). For a better understanding we have added horizontal lines marking the collisions (same tolerance TOL). We observe that the quantal H-Cl collision does not lead to any significant stepsize restrictions.

Dotted line adaptive Verlet with the Chebyshev approximation for the quantum propagation. Dash-dotted line with the Lanczos iteration. Solid line stepsize controlling scheme based on PICKABACK. If the FFTs are the most expensive operations, PiCKABACK-like schemes are competitive, and the Lanczos iteration is significantly cheaper than the Chebyshev approximation. 

Air control louvers or dampers, popular in the past for air flow control, are used primarily for only very low scale air flow control. Louvers are used in many winterized heat exchangers in extremely low ambient temperature locations to retain and recirculate warm air in completely enclosed heat exchangers, sometimes in very compHcated control schemes. The use of louvers on the discharge side of a fan to control air flow is inefficient and creates mechanical problems in the louvers because of the turbulence. A fan is a constant volume device, thus use of louvers to control flow is equivalent to... 

Values are for normal power operation. Conductivity, pH, and concentrations of lithium and boron are plant specific and vary over the fuel cycle according to the control scheme used. See Fig. 3.

Cascade control schemes, where TC = temperature controller FC = fuel gas flow controller and LC = liquid level controller, (a) Simple circuit having no cascade control (b) the same circuit employing cascade control and (c) and (d) Hquid level control circuits with and without cascade control,...

Both control schemes react in a similar manner to disturbances in process fluid feed rate, feed temperature, feed composition, fuel gas heating value, etc. In fact, if the secondary controller is not properly tuned, the cascade control strategy can actually worsen control performance. Therefore, the key to an effective cascade control strategy is the proper selection of the secondary controlled variable considering the source and impact of particular disturbances and the associated process dynamics. 

Strong process interacHons can cause serious problems if a conventional multiloop feedback control scheme (e g., PI or PID controllers) is employed. The process interacHons canproduce undesirable control loop interac tions where the controllers fight each other. Also, it may be difficult to determine the best pairing of controlled and manipulated variables. For example, in the in-hne blending process in Fig. 8-40(<7), should w be controlled with and x with tt>g, or vice versa ... 

Use a decouphng control system d. Use a multivariable control scheme (e.g., model predictive control)... 

Both organizations update their standards from time to time, primarily because the continuing evolutions in control-system hardware provide additional possibihties for implementing control schemes. 

Automated control schemes employ one or more sets of controls, which will fit into three categories (1) control loops which are used to regulate the addition of tlocciilant, (2) control loops to regulate the withdrawal of Iindertlow, and (3) rake dri e controls. Usually, the feed to a thickener is not controlled and most control systems ha e been designed with some tlexibility to deal with changes in feed characteristics, such as an increase in oliirne or alteration in the nature of the solids thernseh es. In se ere cases, some equalization of the feed is required in order to allow the control system to perform effecth ely. 

In many cases, plants simply live with these problems. However, use of modern model-based control schemes in conjunction with improved methods for on-line moisture and particle size analysis can help overcome these effects [Ennis (ed.), Powder Tech., 82 (1995) Zhang et al., Control of Paiticulate Processes TV (1995)]. 

The common indices of the physical environment are temperature, pressure, shaft power input, impeller speed, foam level, gas flow rate, liquid feed rates, broth viscosity, turbidity, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, and exit gas concentrations. A wide variety of chemical assays can be performed product concentration, nutrient concentration, and product precursor concentration are important. Indices of respiration were mentioned with regard to oxygen transfer and are particularly useful in tracking fermentation behavior. Computer control schemes for fermentation can focus on high productiv-...

Synchronous-motor rotor frequency can be detected because the rotor field circuit is available. Special control schemes have been devised which take into account both speed and induced rotor current in providing locked-rotor and accelerating protection. 

Manual sampling/ analysis is part of control scheme resulting in a large lag time in determining when to proceed and what to do (heat/cool, etc.). 

Ensure that safety is not compromised by using manual sampling/analysis as part of the control scheme, e.g., increasing hold times... 

But where accurate speed control is the process requirement, static controllers, termed slip recovery systems (Section 6.16.3) are recommended, which in addition to exercising extremely accurate speed control, also conserve slip losses. Static drives are discussed in Chapter 6. Below we will describe a procedure to determine the value of resistance, its steps and switching and control schemes for these steps for a rotor resistance starter.

For field-oriented controls, a mathematical model of the machine is developed in terms of rotating field to represent its operating parameters such as /V 4, 7, and 0 and all parameters that can inlluence the performance of the machine. The actual operating quantities arc then computed in terms of rotating field and corrected to the required level through open- or closed-loop control schemes to achieve very precise speed control. To make the model similar to that lor a d.c. machine, equation (6.2) is further resolved into two components, one direct axis and the other quadrature axis, as di.sciis.sed later. Now it is possible to monitor and vary these components individually, as with a d.c. machine. With this phasor control we can now achieve a high dynamic performance and accuracy of speed control in an a.c. machine, similar to a separately excited d.c. machine. A d.c. machine provides extremely accurate speed control due to the independent controls of its field and armature currents. 

With this technology it is now possible to achieve extremely accurate speed control of the order of 0.01 % to 0.001 %. To achieve such high accuracy in speed control, closed-loop feedback control systems and microprocessor-based control logistics can be introduced into the inverter control scheme to sense, monitor and control the variable parameters of the motor to very precise limits. 

The inverter may be a current source inverter, rather than a voltage source inverter (.Section 6.9.4) since it will be the rotor current that is required to be vtiried (equation (1.7)) to control the speed of a wound rotor motor, and this can be independently varied through the control of the rotor current. The speed and torque of the motor can be smoothly and steplessly controlled by this method, without any power loss. Figures 6.47 and 6.48 illustrate a typical slip recovery system and its control scheme, respectively.
