Course content
The course is given every year. The course is partly taught together with the 5th year specialization module, but the PhD course has an additional part based on the book "Multivariable feedback control", which includes controllability analysis. Student who have previously taken the 5th year specialization module will get an additional project. The course consists of four parts: Part 1: Plantwide control with emphasis on the structural decision: what to control, measure and pairing. Part 2: Tuning, structure and monitoring of the base control layer. Part 3: Multivariable control, including model based predictive control (MPC). Part 4: Controllability analysis of multivariable systems.
Learning outcome
Knowledge: The students should know about systematic methods for design of plantwide control systems with emphasis on the structural decision: What to control and measure and how to pair the variables? The knowledge includes structure, controller design and supervision of the various layers, including the stabilizing base layer, the supervisory multivariable layer and the optimization layer. The students should have knowledge about controllability analysis of multivariable systems. Skills: The students can design a control structure for the entire plant based on systematic methods and can simulate alternative strategies. They can perform a controllability analysis of the plant in order to find the parts where controller design needs particular attention General competence: The students have a background in the area of plantwide control that make them able to assess and understand existing and emerging results and theories within the field as a background for further research.
Learning methods and activities
