Plant Modeler System Architecture

Until a recent x-ray diffraction study (17) provided direct evidence of the arrangement of the pigment species in the reaction center of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas Viridis, a considerable amount of all evidence pertaining to the internal molecular architecture of plant or bacterial reaction centers was inferred from the results of in vitro spectroscopic experiments and from work on model systems (5, 18, 19). Aside from their use as indirect probes of the structure and function of plant and bacterial reaction centers, model studies have also provided insights into the development of potential biomimetic solar energy conversion systems. In this regard, the work of Netzel and co-workers (20-22) is particularly noteworthy, and in addition, is quite relevant to the material discussed at this conference. 

The neural network in the controller block diagram has a model IV architecture with one hidden layer, as shown in Fig. 4.14. It is pretrained to the dynamics of the smart structural system using experimental input/output data. As shown in Fig. 4.15, the input vector to the network consists of n - - 1 samples of the plant input and m - - 1 samples of the plant output. The hidden and output layers have P and 1 neurons respectively. 

The bifunctional terpene cyclases with type I and type II activity are restricted to fungal and plant diterpene cyclases. These enzymes like the monofunctional type I or type II plant enzymes exhibit the apy-domain architecture, but in contrast to the monofunctional terpene cyclases, both the a-domain and the p-domain contain the highly conserved DDXXD and DXDD motifs, respectively, thus establishing the catalytic activities for type I and type II cyclizations within one enzyme. A model system is the recently structurally characterized abietadiene synthase from A. grandis [202] that catalyzes first the class II conversion of... 

Another ALMR control system design task is to develop a control and communications architecture simulation capability to provide a software-based approach to test the ALMR control system architecture designs before implementation. The implementation of a plant architecture can be very costly. Therefore, it is important that the architecture implemented will support the plant s needs under all conditions. This simulator will allow potential architecture designs to be modeled. These models can then be tested under a variety of plant and information-flow conditions to assure that a vehicle for testing modifications to the architecture and new systems being implemented. This capability will discover architecture problems and facilitate fixing them before costly implementation expenditures. 

Figure 5-3 shows the system architecture of the computer-aided plant enterprise modeling environment (CAPE-ModE). The model will be stored within a model repository where both model and metamodel elements will be stored in the form of unified modeling language (UML). 

Figure 7-2 shows the detailed information system architecture for implementing CAPE-SAFE within PEEE. In this figure, CAPE-SAFE is connected through the different APIs to plant lifecycle knowledgebase database, plant enterprise applications, and design and operation environments. The plant model (POOM) is the cornerstone of such implementation where safety aspects are manipulated to assist in the different functions that carried out by CAPE-SAFE. 

Similar to chemical/petrochemical plants, the manufacturing system architecture will include manufacturing model as integrated with the manufacturing process design environment i.e. CAD/CAM, as shown in figure A8-1. 

The overall system that we will analyze comprises the unbleached Kraft pulp line, chemicals and energy recovery zones of a specific paper mill (Melville and Williams, 1977). We will employ a somewhat simplified but still realistic representation of the plant, originally developed in a series of research projects at Purdue University (Adler and Goodson, 1972 Foster et al., 1973 Melville and Williams, 1977). The records of simulated operation data, used to support the application of our learning architecture, were generated by a reimplementation, with only minor changes, of steady-state models (for each individual module and the system as a...

The pilot plant has a Distributed Control System by ABB Automation, model Sattline. All the sensors and actuators are connected to the DCS. The DCS program has to be developed taking into account the integration architecture framework described in Section 5. Therefore it was necessary to describe the plant following the S88 terminology. Description of the Control Module (only reactor R1 is shown). Equipment Module (only reactor R1 is shown). Master Recipe (full recipe for the two products) and Control Recipes (only product PI and Equipment Eql is shown) are given next. 

Such a description is a model of the plant, consisting of real and imaginary functional elements, but it is a very special model. On the one hand, it represents the outcome of design in the functional domain. It is not a model of the stakeholder requirements, but a model of the functionality of a possible solution to the problem of meeting those requirements. The architecture of the primary functional system (which we called the skeleton in Chapter C4) is identical to the functional view of the plant architecture. On the other hand, it provides a measure of the degree to which the plant will satisfy the stakeholder requirements within the context of the project, thereby allowing the design to be optimised.
