Summary on Grant Application Form |

Control and operability studies of highly-integrated processes are of interest because of the potential financial benefits for the process industries. These could be achieved if it is possible to detect controllability problems prior to performing detailed control designs and closed loop simulations. The proposed project will extend the recent theoretical developments done at Exeter in the area of nonlinear controllability analysis and validate the new techniques using a particular highly-integrated case study namely the HDA process. In issues such as: how to select control inputs and measurable outputs for highly integrated processes, the effect of increased integration on the results of the analysis will be considered. The results of the analysis will be assessed by performing closed loop simulations, with a nonlinear model to represent the real process, and comparing the actual behaviour of the model to that predicted by the controllability analysis. A letter of support for the project proposal is enclosed from ICI Engineering.
