Troubleshoot MPC Models And Improve MPC Performance Using New Technology Not Needing Step Tests

You and your team worked hard for six months, completed an MPC project successfully. A few months later, many CVs (controlled variables) are oscillatory and looks like below: You do not have the time and resources to find out what is the cause of the oscillations. You can auto-step tests (auto-step program) from Aspen DMC3 […]

DCS-Based APC (Advanced Process Control) Vs MPC (Model Predictive Control)

In this blog we will explain the basis for choosing DCS-based Advanced Process Control (APC) over Model Predictive Control (MPC). PiControl has extensive skills and experience in making a judicious selection between DCS-resident advanced process control (APC) and a full-blown model predictive control (MPC). Depending on the plant and process characteristics, DCS-based advanced process control […]

Increasing Use Of PiControl Technology By Universities

College and university professors do an excellent job in covering theoretical aspects of system identification, primary process control design, and PID control loop tuning methods. However practical exposure to hands-on and industrial system identification and process control optimization exposure is difficult for new students and graduates. Most academic schools and colleges do not cover system […]
