      The goalAcquisition of basic knowledge for independent selection of elements of the control system and synthesis of the automatic control system. Understanding the use of computers in process management. Improving and updating students' knowledge in the field of process dynamics and classical process management methods. Familiarity with modern management methods. Basic principles of digital control systems Introduction to simple experimental methods of process identification and their application in the analysis and synthesis of control systems. Understanding the importance of knowledge of process dynamics in the design of modern process management systems in the chemical industry.
      The outcomeStudent's ability to apply knowledge in the field of technological process control in practical conditions, at specific plants. Work in the automated laboratory of the process industry. Application of knowledge in the field of dynamics and control in process design and control. Developing new components and management algorithms to obtain better system performance.
      Contents
      Contents of lecturesConcept, basic characteristics and requirements of technological process control. Process system as an object of management: basic definitions and basics of process dynamics. Mathematical descriptions of continuous linear and nonlinear systems. Dynamics of simple and higher order systems. Time responses of the system. Frequency characteristics. Regulatory design. Stability testing of negative and control feedback loop. Experimental process identification. Dynamics of some typical equipment in chemical industries (chemical reactors, columns, heat exchangers etc.) ; 2. Advanced systems of process control based on feedback systems: cascade control, selective control, split-range control, feedback-feedforward control. ; 3. Modern approaches to control in process industries: inferential and adaptive control, multivariable control, model-predictive control. ; 4. Digital control systems: analog and digital signals, discrete dynamic models, discrete controllers, digital equipment in control systems. ; 5. Practical aspects: process and instrumentation diagrams for control of some typical equipment in chemical industries; plant-wide control; different levels of digital control.
      Contents of exercisesExercises in the computer lab, using the appropriate software package (Software program with specialized additions to the automatic control field). As part of the practical training, students will work on the project assignment.
