Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Bruce Slusser from Avanceon highlights how AI improves model predictive control (MPC) systems by increasing predictive accuracy and enabling real-time optimization of complex processes. The ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a versatile and robust strategy in modern control engineering, enabling controllers to predict future system behaviour and optimise performance over a ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a pivotal strategy for optimising the performance of power electronic converters and motor drive systems. By utilising an explicit model of the controlled ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...
