  1. ChE / MET 433 Linearity, Windup, & PID 11 Apr 12Process Linearity, Integral Windup, PID Controllers

  2. Quiz Solutions ChE / MET 433

  3. Process Linearity • Test the Heat Exchanger process linearity by: • Starting Loop Pro trainer • Set %CO to 80% • Make steps down (say 10% down) to the %CO • Measure the response • Calculate the process gain

  4. K = -1.09 K = -0.69 K = 0.-45 K = -0.33 K = -0.26 K = -0.15 Adaptive Control ?

  5. Integral (Reset) Windup • “Windup” can occur if integral action present • Most modern controllers have anti-windup protection • If doesn’t have windup protection, set to manual when reach point of saturation, then switch back to auto, when drops below sat. level • IE: LoopPro Trainer, select Heat Exchanger • Set %CO to 90%; SP to 126; Kc to 1 %/deg C; Tau I to 1.0 min • Set Integral with Anti-Reset Windup ON • Change Set Point to 120 deg. C. (~10 min); then change back to 126 deg. C • Repeat with controller at ON: (Integral with Windup)

  6. Integral (Reset) Windup

  7. In-Class PID Controller Exercise • Tune the Heat Exchanger for a PID Controller: • Use the built in IMC, and choose Moderately Aggressive • Start Loop Pro trainer • Tune at the initial %CO and exit temperature • Compare PI with PID • Compare PID with PID with filter

  8. ChE / MET 433 Advanced control schemes 11 Apr 12Cascade Control: Ch 9

  9. Improve Feedback Control • Feedback control: • Disturbance must be measured before action taken • ~ 80% of control strategies are simple FB control • Reacts to disturbances that were not expected • We’ll look at: • Cascade Control (Master – Slave) • Ratio Control • Feed Forward

  10. Cascade Control • Control w/ multiple loops • Used to better reject specific disturbances + - Take slow process: Split into 2 “processes” that can measure intermediate variable? + + - - Gp2 must be quicker responding than GP1. • Inner (2nd-dary) loop faster than primary loop • Outer loop is primary loop

  12. Separate Gp into 2 blocks MT % moisture MC TC steam TT Heat Exchger air blower T + + - -

  13. Problem Solving Exercise: Heat Exchanger TC Single feedback loop. Suppose known there will be steam pressure fluctuations… steam TT Hot water Heat Exchger T Design cascade system that measures (uses) the steam pressure in the HX shell. PT steam TT Hot water Heat Exchger T

  14. Temperature Control of a Well-Mixed Reactor (CSTR) Ti Responds quicker to Ti changes than coolant temperature changes.

  15. Temperature Control of a Well-Mixed Reactor (CSTR) Use Cascade Control to improve control. Ti If Tout (jacket) changes it is sensed and controlled before “seen” by primary T sensor. • Secondary Loop • Measures Tout (jacket) • Faster loop • SP by output primary loop • Primary Loop: • Measures controlled var. • SP by operator

  16. Cascade Control Benefits: • Disturbances in secondary loop corrected by 2ndary loop controller • Flowrate loops are frequently cascaded with another control loop • Improves regulatory control, but doesn’t affect set point tracking • Can address different disturbances, as long as they impact the secondary loop before it significantly impacts the primary (outer loop). Challenges: • Secondary loop must be faster than primary loop • Bit more complex to tune • Requires additional sensor and controller

  17. Cascade Control Examples Distillation Columns Objective: Regulate temperature (composition) at top and bottom of column

  18. Furnace TP out Objective: Keep TP out at the set point Heat Exchanger T2 out Objective: Keep T2 out at the set point

  19. In-Class Exercise: Cascade Control System Design • What affects flowrate? • Valve position • Height of liquid • P (delta P across valve) Design a cascade system to control level (note overhead P can’t be controlled)

  20. In-Class Exercise: Cascade Control System Design Does this design reject P changes in the overhead vapor space?

  21. Tuning a Cascade System • Both controllers in manual • Secondary controller set as P-only (could be PI, but this might slow sys) • Tune secondary controller for set point tracking • Checksecondaryloop for satisfactory set point tracking performance • Leave secondary controller in Auto • Tune primary controller for disturbance rejection (PI or PID) • Both controllers in Auto now • Verify acceptable performance

  22. In-Class Exercise: Tuning Cascade Controllers • Select Jacketed Reactor • Set T cooling inlet at 46 oC(normal operation temperature; sometimes it drops to 40 oC) • Set output of controller at 50%. • Desired Tout set point is 86 oC(this is steady state temperature) • Tune the single loop PI control • Criteria: IMC aggressive tuning • Use doublet test with +/- 5 %CO • Test your tuning with disturbance from 46 oC to 40 oC

  23. In-Class Exercise: Tuning Cascade Controllers • Select Cascade Jacketed Reactor • Set T cooling inlet at 46 oC (again) • Set output of controller (secondary) at 50%. • Desired Tout set point is 86 oC (as before) • Note the secondary outlet temperature (69 oC) is the SP of the secondary controller • Tune the secondary loop; use 5 %CO doublet open loop • Criteria: ITAE for set point tracking (P only) • Use doublet test with +/- 5 %CO • Test your tuning with 3 oCsetpoint changes • Tune the primary loop for PI control; make 3 oC set point changes (2nd-dary controller) • Note: MV = sp signal; and PV = T out of reactor • Criteria: IAE for aggressive tuning (PI) • Implement and with both controllers in Auto… change disturbance from 46 to 40 oC. • How does response compare to single PI feedback loop?

  24. ChE / MET 433 Advanced control schemes 13 Apr 12Ratio Control: Ch 10

  25. Ratio Control • Special type of feed forward control A B • Blending/Reaction/Flocculation • A and B must be in certain ratio to each other

  26. Ratio Control Possible control system: FY FY FC FC FT FT B A • What if one stream could not be controlled? • i.e., suppose stream A was “wild”; or it came from an upstream process and couldn’t be controlled.

  27. Ratio Control Possible cascade control systems: “wild” stream A FT Desired Ratio FC FY FT B “wild” stream A FT Desired Ratio This unit multiplies A by the desired ratio; so output = FY FC FT B

  28. Ratio Control Uses: • Constant ratio between feed flowrate and steam in reboiler of distillation column • Constant reflux ratio • Ratio of reactants entering reactor • Ratio for blending two streams • Flocculent addition dependent on feed stream • Purge stream ratio • Fuel/air ratio in burner • Neutralization/pH

  29. In-Class Exercise: Furnace Air/Fuel Ratio • Furnace Air/Fuel Ratio model • disturbance: liquid flowrate • “wild” stream: air flowrate • ratioed stream: fuel flowrate • Minimum Air/Fuel Ratio 10/1 • Fuel-rich undesired (enviro, econ, safety) • If air fails; fuel is shut down Check TC tuning to disturbance & SP changes. PV Desired 2 – 5% excess O2 Disturbance var. TC Dependent MV TC output Ratio set point Independent MV

  35. Feed ForwardControl: FFC Identification Set by traditional means: Model fit to FOPDT equation: Dead time compensator FF Gain Lead/lagunit Often ignored; if set term to 1 Accounts for time differences in 2 legs { FFC ss } steady state FF control { FFC dyn } dynamic FF control
