Publisher: Springer, 2003

Synopsis

An application-oriented approach to process control. The reference text systematically explains process identification, control and optimization, the three key steps needed to solve a multivariable control problem. Theory is discussed as far as it is needed to understand and solve the defined problem, while numerous examples written in MATLAB illustrate the problem-solving approach.

About this title

Review:

From the reviews:

"The book Advanced Practical Process Control by Roffel and Betlem complements the textbook literature in the field of process control with a solution oriented approach. ... The approach is very practical and solution oriented. It aims at familiarizing the reader with essential concepts of advanced process control as they are employed nowadays in the process industries. ... the book definitely does enrich the textbook literature on process control. ... The target audience is indeed the industrial practitioner or the chemical engineering student ... ." (W. Marquardt, International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, Vol. 16 (2), 2006)

"This book is to help the process engineer to start from the available theory and to build control solutions. ... Having some theoretical background in process dynamics, identification and optimal control, this book ... will help the process engineer to solve control problems for process improvement tasks in practice." (Kurt Marti, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1042 (17), 2004)

“The book Advanced Practical Process Control ... has been written for senior and graduate students as a comprehensive textbook on advanced process control with a solution-oriented approach. ... The book covers a large array of process-control solutions. ... The book is extremely well organized. Each chapter ... gives a clear summary of what is to be described. ... illustrated by numerous pictures, plots, and flow diagrams. ... The presentations are clear, and the concepts and ideas are illustrated extremely well through numerous, interesting examples.” (Luige Vladareanu, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 14 (3), 2009)

Synopsis:

This text and reference offers an application-oriented approach to process control. It systematically explains process identification, control and optimization, the three key steps needed to solve a multivariable control problem. Theory is discussed as far as it is needed to understand and solve the defined problem, while numerous examples written in MATLAB illustrate the problem-solving approach. A new software package for linear multivariable process identification and control is included with the book on CD-ROM. This package combines unique features of some multivariable control tools, while a detailed description of this software package is included in a separate appendix.
