[[Attach:sp16.zip | Special Problem 16 Script Files]]

For Special Problem 16, Python 2.7 is required to run the simulations.  It is available for free download from the [[https://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.7/ | Python web-site]].  To run the simulations, double-click on the appropriate python script.  A web-page will open to allow you to view the solution.

!!! Lecture 41 - Distillation Control

A distillation column is typically a highly coupled system that leads to multiple interacting controllers.  Techniques from this class that are useful for designing the control system are:
• Empirical model fitting of a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) System
• Relative Gain Array (RGA) analysis to determine best pairing of Manipulated and Controlled Variables
• Simulate distillation column with PID Non-interacting controllers
• Simulate distillation column with PID Interacting Controllers with Feedforward information from other controllers
• Derivation of First Principles model
• Nonlinear Control (NLC)

* %list list-page% [[Attach:Lecture41_notes.pdf | Lecture 41 Notes]]

The distillation column example uses both empirical and first principles approaches to address controller interaction.  With the empirical approach, PID controller tuning is derived.  With a first principles model, a nonlinear control can improve the disturbance rejection and set point tracking capabilities.
