The design of a diagnostic system based on mathematical models of the plant components is performed for a gas-liquid separation unit. This design includes first modelling of the process by using physical laws governing its behaviour. Hardware redundancy and simple nonlinear observers are used to synthesise a residual generator with 7 outputs. The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test allows one to evaluate the residuals. Tuning of the design parameters is discussed, and a reinitialization procedure is proposed in order to distinguish between temporary and permanent changes in the mean of the residuals. Simulations are used to illustrate the choice of the design parameters

Autonomous systems of electric power supply consisting of one common primary source of electric power supply and a set of multiple modular switched-controlled secondary sources of electric power supply (DC-to-DC power converters) are considered. The problem of the stabilization of the voltages transformed by the multiple modular switched-controlled secondary sources of electric supply is formulated and solved in conventional and dynamic local sliding surfaces. The robust decoupled linear desired behavior of the stabilization errors of the transformed voltages is guaranteed in local sliding modes. The desired quality of the voltage stabilization is achieved in dynamic sliding surfaces without measurement or estimation of disturbances (load currents).

In this paper we consider the fault isolation problem for the linear time varying systems. Our approach is based on characterization of the observability of LTV systems by Kalman's rank condition, which permits us to design fault detection filters, feeding also the derivatives of the inputs and the outputs. We prove, using a computable method, that the isolation problem can be solved by generalized Luenberger's observer if and only if the detectability and the weak separability of fault signatures holds.

At ACE'94 the concept of a process laboratory for analysis, education and research of control engineering approaches and methods was presented. Three years later we are in the middle of the work on the realisation of this laboratory, which serves a number of purposes: development and application, research, training and education in the area of industrial process control. The paper describes in detail the configuration of the process laboratory, the upgraded control system and the software tools used during our research and educational programs.

A procedure for the postoptimal analysis of dynamic positioning control system of floating vessels is proposed. The control system design is based on the optimal constrained covariance control (OC 3 ). Using the OC 3 technique, the disadvantages of the classical LQG optimal control technique are avoided. The presented numerical example illustrates the properties of the new approach.

A component-centred approach to the derivation of the diagnostic rules for continuous processes is presented below. It strongly relies on the causal representation of fault propagation within the basic process units where the modelling convention of Hunt et al. (1993) is adopted. Basic information concerning the disturbance and fault propagation is stored in terms of the unit mini-fault tree. Additional information on special process structures is treated systematically by making use of template trees. The diagnostic rules for the entire process are obtained by chaining the mini-trees and combining the deviations caused by a fault. The paper presents some improvements concerning more efficient on-line use of the resulting rules. A major contribution concerns the realisation of the CAD environment for the prototyping of the diagnostic systems based on the process flowsheet and library of process components. Such a concept enables the re-usability of the basic process component models and the incremental development of the components library.

The passivity property of dissipative mechanical structures has long been exploited in designing passive controllers that provide robust stability even in the presence of unmodeled dynamics of the system. For an input/output map of a flexible structure to be passive, collocation of the actuators and sensors is required and also the sensors should measure the velocity of the system. The so-called smart structures frequently have more sensors than actuators. Therefore, the passive controller can at best utilize only a subset of the sensors. In this paper we consider the design of a squaring down matrix which would render a system passive subject to some additional performance considerations. The problem of obtaining the synthesized passive output is cast as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be efficiently solved by the LMI Toolbox in Matlab. We apply this procedure with the assumption that the sensors provide both displacement and velocity information which is generally not true. We show that the passive controllers can be implemented without the use of velocity information. By using synthesized passive outputs in addition to naturally occurring passive outputs, we obtain better system performance. We present experimental results involving a single flexible beam with torque input and hub angular position and strain gage outputs.

A new matrix rule-based model of discrete-part discrete event systems is given that, together with the well-known Petri net marking transition equation, yields a complete matrix-based dynamical description of these systems. In this application to deadlock analysis, the exact relations between circular blockings and deadlocks are given for a large class of reentrant flow lines. Explicit matrix equations are given for online dynamic deadlock analysis in terms of circular blockings, and certain 'critical siphons' and 'critical subsystems'. This allows efficient dispatching with deadlock avoidance using a generalized kanban scheme. For the class of flow lines considered, the existence of matrix formulae shows that deadlock analysis is not NP-complete, but of polynomial complexity.

In this paper a new tuning approach for the PID controllers is proposed. The tuning algorithm is based on a relatively demanding magnitude optimum criterion. However, the tuning procedure is simple and only requires a process open-loop step response in order to calculate controller parameters. Additional relay excitation may be provided so as to obtain more optimal values of the PID controller parameters.

A prototype concurrent engineering tool has been developed for the preliminary design of composite topside structures for modern navy warships. This tool, named GELS for the Concurrent Engineering of Layered Structures, provides designers with an immediate assessment of the impacts of their decisions on several disciplines which are important to the performance of a modern naval topside structure, including electromagnetic interference effects (EMI), radar cross section (RCS), structural integrity, cost, and weight. Preliminary analysis modules in each of these disciplines are integrated to operate from a common set of design variables and a common materials database. Performance in each discipline and an overall fitness function for the concept are then evaluated. A graphical user interface (GUI) is used to define requirements and to display the results from the technical analysis modules. Optimization techniques, including feasible sequential quadratic programming (FSQP) and exhaustive search are used to modify the design variables to satisfy all requirements simultaneously. The development of this tool, the technical modules, and their integration are discussed noting the decisions and compromises required to develop and integrate the modules into a prototype conceptual design tool.
