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. 

This is an alternative to FOC and can provide a very fast response. The choice of a static drive, whether through a simple V7/control, field-oriented phasor control or direct torque control with open or closed-loop control and feedback schemes, would depend upon the size of the machine, the range of speed control (whether required to operate at very low speeds, 5% and below), the accuracy of speed control and the speed of correction (response time). The manufacturers of such drives will be the best guide for the most appropriate and economical drive for a particular application or process line. 

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. 

This scheme has all circuit breakers linked in a closed loop, with connections entering at the junction between breakers. This way, any connection may be isolated or any single circuit breaker removed without interrupting the other connections. This provides a higher level of redundancy than the systems mentioned above. Control and protective relaying issues are somewhat more complicated for this arrangement. 

Direct digital control systems appeared in the mid-1980s and displaced older analog closed-loop schemes for temperature control. These digital systems improved both accuracy and reliability. The earlier systems were modeled after existing system architectures and did not contain intelligent, standalone field devices. There were numerous interfaces to the various building systems and the major decisions were made at a central computer. 

The controllability analysis was conducted in two parts. The theoretical control properties of the three schemes were first predicted through the use of the singular value decomposition (SVD) technique, and then closed-loop dynamic simulations were conducted to analyze the control behavior of each system and to compare those results with the theoretical predictions provided by SVD. 

The controller scheme developed in the following is based on the well-known GMC paradigm [22, 27] reviewed in Sect. 5.4.2. The key idea of this technique is that of globally linearizing the reactor dynamics by acting on the jacket temperature 7], which is, in turn, controlled by a standard linear (e.g., PID) controller. Since 7] does not play the role of the input manipulated variable, the only way to impose an assigned behavior to the jacket temperature is that of computing a suitable setpoint 7j,des, to be passed by a control loop closed around 7], Both in [22] and [27], the mathematical relationship between the jacket temperature and the setpoint is assumed to be a known linear first-order differential equation, from which Tj es is... 

The whole control scheme is represented in Fig. 5.2. The first control loop (inner loop) is closed around the jacket temperature in such a way to track a desired temperature, 7j,des(0 = J2,des(0> to be determined then, an outer loop is closed around the reactor temperature so as to track the desired reactor temperature profile, 7r,des(0 = yi,des(0- The outer controller computes the desired jacket temperature on the basis of the reactor tracking error e = ypdes - yi and of the estimate of aq, while the inner controller receives y2,des as input and computes the temperature of the fluid entering the jacket, i.e., the manipulated input u.

Arbel et al. (1997) give a detailed account of this procedure applied to a fluidized catalytic cracker unit control is possible when only one of the four dominant variables is under feedback control. The effectiveness of the partial control scheme is limited in satisfying the economic objectives when only one dominant variable is in closed-loop control. Superior reactor performance is achieved when all four dominant variables in the reactor are used. However, this requires manipulated variables that were not part of older FCC designs. The new manipulators have been added on modern units to make... 

Cascade control is one solution to this problem (see Fig. 8-35). Here the jacket temperature is measured, and an error signal is sent from this point to the coolant control valve this reduces coolant flow, maintaining the heat transfer rate to the reactor at a constant level and rejecting the disturbance. The cascade control configuration will also adjust the setting of the coolant control valve when an error occurs in reactor temperature. The cascade control scheme shown in Fig. 8-35 contains two controllers. The primary controller is the reactor temperature coolant temperature controller. It measures the reactor temperature, compares it to the set point, and computes an output, which is the set point for the coolant flow rate controller. This secondary controller compares the set point to the coolant temperature measurement and adjusts the valve. The principal advantage of cascade control is that the secondary measurement (jacket temperature) is located closer to a potential disturbance in order to improve the closed-loop response. 

Studies on the closed-loop operation technologies at pressure condition will be carried out until 2009 to acquire knowledge on process control and to establish the detailed process scheme required for the scale-up experiment. 

While various automatic schemes for precise closed-loop control of the reference phase are possible [285], this deluxe feature is not usually present. Manual adjustment is accomplished by very carefully adjusting the phase for a maximum in detector crystal current (assuming that the resonator is well matched). 

The heart of the system is a microreactor packaging scheme that is based upon a commercially available microchip socket. This approach allows the silicon-based reactor die, which contains dual parallel reaction channels with more than 100 electrical contacts, to be installed and removed in a straightforward fashion without removing any fluidic and electronic connections. Various supporting microreactor functions, such as gas feed flow control, gas feed mixing, and various temperature control systems, are mounted on standard CompactPCI electronic boards. The boards are subsequently installed in a commercially available computer chassis. Electrical connections between the boards are achieved through a standard backplane and custom-built input-output PC boards. A National Instruments embedded real-time processor is used to provide closed-loop process control and... 

Figure 13.15 shows the operational scheme of this automatic tltrator. The heart of the unit Is an INTEL 8080 microprocessor mounted on the central processing unit (CPU) board. The rotary reaction cell assembly can accommodate up to three different sensors for multiple measurements on the same processed sample. Each stepper burette board controls up to two burette dispensing assemblies. Function boards such as the colorimeter board, air burette board, E/I output board and RS-232 printer Interface boards are available optionally. The optional D/A and E/I board is used for closed-loop applications where the tltrator controls the final element such as a control valve. The RS-232 printer Interface board Is useful for troubleshooting the equipment and editing user-defined programs. The Instrument accuracy, repeatability and response time vary widely and depend on the particular type of measurement concerned. The system requires a.c. power, a 75-psl air supply and a dilution water supply for proper operation. The air flow-rate required is of about 50 cm3/mln... 

Controllability indices, as Closed Loop Disturbance Gain (CLDG) and Performance Relative Gain Array (PRGA) predict in all situations better dynamic properties for the forward heat-integration scheme, compared with the reverse one. This behaviour is verified by closed loop simulation with the full non-linear model. 

Continuously by using some form of thyristor controller which will allow feedback action in the form of closed loop control to be used to accurately regulate the speed. However, if such a scheme is used then it is the customary practice to adjust the applied frequency so as to maintain a constant air-gap flux, see 14.3.2 and 14.6. 

Feedback error learning (FEL) is a hybrid technique [113] using the mapping to replace the estimation of parameters within the feedback loop in a closed-loop control scheme. FEL is a feed-forward neural network structure, under training, learning the inverse dynamics of the controlled object. This method is based on contemporary physiological studies of the human cortex [114], and is shown in Figure 15.6. 

Fig. 10.26 Closed loop steady state temperature profiles for RD column producing methyl acetate with control scheme 1...

A first control scheme proposed in [90] is shown in Fig. 10.26. In this scheme, product purities of methyl acetate (MeAC) and water (HjO) are inferred from temperatures on trays 3 and 12, respectively, and the feed rates of methanol (MeOH) and acetic acid (AcH) are used as manipulated variables. For this configuration, three different temperature profiles exist with identical temperature values at the sensor locations but different feed rates and completely different product compositions. The solid line in Fig. 10.26 represents the desired temperature profile with high conversion. This situation corresponds to input multiplicity as introduced at the beginning of section 10.2 on multiplicity and oscillations. Here, the same set of output variables (temperatures) is produced by (three) different sets of input variables (feed rates). Because the steady state values of the output variables are fixed by the given setpoint of the controllers, this input multiplicity will lead to steady state multiplicity of the closed loop system as illustrated in Fig. 10.27. 

In the second part of this chapter, focus was on control of continuously operated RD processes. So far most control studies focus on processes that are operated close to chemical equilibrium. Emphasis was on the well-known esterification and etherification systems. The methods employed are similar to non-RD column control. It is worth noting that this is consistent with our conclusions on open-loop dynamics as drawn above. Additional problems may rise in indirect control schemes, where product compositions are inferred from temperature measurements. It was shown that these problems can be handled if in addition some direct or indirect measure of conversion is taken into account. 

Sundaramoorthy and Rao designed and implemented a DDC scheme on a batch fluid-bed dryer, which was drying wet sawdust [32]. The system was described by a state-space model with parameters that were estimated from experimental data. The performance of the designed controller was checked by closed-loop simulation and then the scheme was implemented online using the heater power supply as the final control element to regulate the inlet-air temperature.
