Bottleneck of Production
 Present situation of process industries
More than 80% control loops are PID control

loops
The rest 15~20% control loops are the

difficulties
 There always be problems
The control results of some“key loops”are not

good
Influence of regular production and quality of

product
The bottleneck which is restricting the

production
 What is the reason？

Complex Process Control Problem
 Multivariable, Strong Coupling

Mutual Influence
 Great inertial, long time-delay

Slow reaction
 Heavy Interference
Strong Disturbance
 Time variation
Property changing in different times
 Nonlinear
Different property in different condition

APC & RTO
 APC (Advanced Process Control)

Cost minimization

Main Point

How to Benefits the Enterprise？
 Improving control performance

Improve the dynamic control performance of production process, reduce the
fluctuation range of key process variable, reduce equipment action
frequency, extend the equipment usable life;
 Expanding production capacity
If the production equipment is safe and stable, increase to the maximum
constraint edge with stably running, increase equipment processing
quantity, improving existing production capacity;
 Assurance of product quality
Guarantee the uniformity and stability of product quality, improve target
product yield, decrease the cost of production ,enhance the competitiveness
of enterprise;
 Increasing economic return
Significant effect of energy saving
Thousands of applications in worldwide
The input-output efficiency of APC is accepted
The rate of return on investment is 10/1
The pay back period is less than 1 year

……

Chemical Industry Case
 The example of glass fiber liquid level HAPC control

 Controlling Demands
The fluctuation range of liquid level : ≤±0.3mm.
The frequency regulation step-length of feeding machine : maximize to 0.2.

 Controlling Difficulties
Raw material→Liquid level: Delay time is about 40mins with a slow process
Big frequency amplitude and less uniformity of glass melt will influent the
fiber drawing process
The number of stopping machines and the stopping time is not stable which
will cause interference to liquid level.
Interference of furnace pressure, furnace temperature.
The complex control problems are including like typical multivariable strong
coupling, great inertial, long time-delay ,heavy interference., etc.

 Before & After:
Liquid level deviation Liquid level deviation

before optimization： after optimization：
±0.5mm ±0.2mm

 The beneficial effects
The liquid level is stable, less interruption of fiber drawing process, the
productivity is increased.
Small frequency amplitude, stable feeding, better homogeneity of glass

melt, the quality of glass fiber is improved.
Reduce the heavy burden of operator that can improve the safety of
production.

Power Plant Case

Power Plant Case
 Controlling Requirement
Main steam temperature≤±8 ℃
 Controlling Difficulty
Varying slowly
---Great inertial, long time-delay

---Inertia time constant is about 5~6 min
Heavy interference
--- Load disturbance

--- Steam flow disturbance
--- Fuel disturbance
