The vast majority of automatic controllers used to compensate industrial processes are of PI or PID type. This book comprehensively compiles, using a unified notation, tuning rules for these controllers proposed over the last seven decades (1935OCo2005). The tuning rules are carefully categorized and application information about each rule is given. The book discusses controller architecture and process modeling issues, as well as the performance and robustness of loops compensated with PI or PID controllers. This unique publication brings together in an easy-to-use format material previously published in a large number of papers and books. This wholly revised second edition extends the presentation of PI and PID controller tuning rules, for single variable processes with time delays, to include additional rules compiled since the first edition was published in 2003. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Introduction (17 KB). Contents: Controller Architecture; Tuning Rules for PI Controllers; Tuning Rules for PID Controllers; Performance and Robustness Issues in the Compensation of FOLPD Processes with PI and PID Controllers. Readership: Control engineering researchers in academia and industry with an interest in PID control and control engineering practitioners using PID controllers. The book also serves as a reference for postgraduate and undergraduate students."

The new 4th edition of Seborg’s Process Dynamics Control provides full topical coverage for process control courses in the chemical engineering curriculum, emphasizing how process control and its related fields of process modeling and optimization are essential to the development of high-value products. A principal objective of this new edition is to describe modern techniques for control processes, with an emphasis on complex systems necessary to the development, design, and operation of modern processing plants. Control process instructors can cover the basic material while also having the flexibility to include advanced topics.

With numerous new opportunities and challenges emerging from the topic of the cognition and control of complex systems, the methods related to PID control, or control based on a PID framework, will continue to grow and expand. This book covers some of the recent results that include improvements to the PID controller. Some examples of these improvements are as follows: •The novelty method of the variable, fractional-order PID controller •The optimization of PID controller, such as the hybrid LQR-PID controller by using genetic algorithm (GA) with the application for the control of helicopter systems •The optimized tuning approach of PID controller with disturbance rejection •A controller adjustment method based on the internal product of PID terms •The PI-PD controller, incorporated with the model-based feedforward control (FF) and the disturbance compensator (Kz), which is used for the control of magnetic levitation systems •The proper control with PID framework used to improve the cognition or identification for complex systems

PID Control for Industrial Processes presents a clear, multidimensional representation of proportional - integral - derivative (PID) control for both students and specialists working in the area of PID control. It mainly focuses on the theory and application of PID control in industrial processes. It incorporates recent developments in PID control technology in industrial practice. Emphasis has been given to finding the best possible approach to develop a simple and optimal solution for industrial users. This book includes several chapters that cover a broad range of topics and priority has been given to subjects that cover real-world examples and case studies. The book is focused on approaches for controller tuning, i.e., method bases on open-loop plant tests and closed-loop experiments.

OPTIMIZATION of INDUSTRIAL SYSTEMS Including the latest industrial solution-based practical applications, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of the optimization of industrial systems for engineers, scientists, students, and other professionals. In order to deal with societal challenges, novel technologies play an important role. For the advancement of technology, it is essential to share innovative ideas and thoughts on a common platform where researchers across the globe meet together and revitalize their knowledge and skills to tackle the challenges that the world faces. The high complexity of the issues related to societal interdisciplinary research is the key to future revolutions. From research funders to journal editors, policymakers to think tanks, all seem to agree that the future of research lies outside disciplinary boundaries. In such prevailing conditions, various working scenarios, conditions, and strategies need to be optimized. Optimization is a multidisciplinary term, and its essence can be inculcated in any domain of business, research, and other associated working dynamics. Globalization provides all-around development, and this development is impossible without technological contributions. This volume’s mission is at the core of industrial engineering. All the manuscripts appended in this volume were double-blind peer-reviewed by committee members and the review team, promising high-quality research. This book provides deep insights to its readers about the current scenarios and future advancements of industrial engineering.
