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.

A two-step nonlinear system identification method using restricted complexity models (RCM) is proposed. In the first step, a parsimonious yet full order Volterra model is identified using the orthogonal least squares method. In the second step, using a control relevant approach, the full order model is further reduced to a restricted complexity model which is more amenable to control design and analysis. The minimization problem in the model reduction step is posed such that it can be solved using general optimization routines. A corresponding two-step model validation procedure is implemented to ensure the closed-loop performance of the resulting model. Effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by a polymerization reactor example.

Input signal design issues associated with a discrete-time MIMO control-relevant identification methodology are the focus of this paper. Using a priori information such as the open-loop dominant time constants and desired closed loop speed-of-response, guidelines are presented for the design variables in two periodic, deterministic inputs: the PRBS and Schroeder-phased signals. The guidelines are illustrated on the Weischedel-McAvoy high purity distillation column, which represents an ill-conditioned, highly interactive system. The case study clearly demonstrates that the sensible use of open-loop experimental design and nonparametric estimation, followed by control-relevant parameter estimation, naturally results in a low-order model description capturing the directionality information important for control.

control-ID is a computer aided controlengineering (CACE) tool serving as a support environment for computer aided control system design (CACSD) in the chemical process industry. The fundamental basis for this tool is the theory of control-relevant system identification, which takes advantage of the interplay between identification and control design. control-ID is implemented using MATLAB on a VAXStation 4000 cluster, which is integrated in real-time to an industrial-scale Honeywell TDC 3000 plant information and control system. control action is computed on the TDC 3000 system using low-order difference equations, which yield superior performance over traditional PID control while resembling the behavior of model predictive controlsystems. Results from a simulation study using a gas/oil furnace are reported.< >

A novel technique for closed-loop identification of reduced-order models for combined feedback/feedforward control is presented. For this purpose identification and control design are treated as joint problems for finding models whose intended use is the design of high performance compensators. The problem is solved by an iterative scheme of repeated identification and control design. The scheme involves the following steps: 1) injecting a dither signal at the manipulated variable and collecting closed-loop (u,y) data, 2) prefiltering the closed-loop data to emphasize the frequencies most important for control and 3) low order parameter estimation and control design.

A novel technique for identifying reduced-order models in the closed-loop is presented. The method arrives at a process model and its corresponding compensator in an iterative fashion by introducing a series of step chan at the manipulated variable. The bias introduced into the identification data set by the closed-loop system, coupled with a control-relevant prefilter, yields a model whose corresponding control system improves its performance at every step. The method is appealing to chemicalengineering practitioners because it combines the tasks of system identification with controller commissioning to produce a simple-to-use yet reliable autotuning procedure.

Intelligent control principles are used to address the issue of combinatorial complexity in controller structure selection for plantwide control, i.e., the variable seection and pairing problem. A knowledge-based framework combining symbolic representation of heuristics and designer expertise, simple analytical "ranking" criteria, and more elaborate computational routines for selection and pairing is described in this paper. The use of an object-oriented structure leads to a system that is flexible, extensible, and multipurpose, which are features necessary if industrial engieering organizations are to adopt this tool on a routine basis.

The use of Schroeder-phased, multisinusoid input signals for system identification in the process industries is described in this paper. We show that the Schroeder-phased input displays a number of significant properties which make it an attractive alternative to the PRBS input for identification in the presence of noise.

详细信息
The use of prefiltered ARX (autoregressive with exogenous input) estimation to obtain reduced-order models that satisfy the Prett-Garcia (1988) digital PID (proportional plus integral plus derivative) tuning rules is described. The design of the prefilter is performed systematically using the engineer's desired control requirements and the setpoint/disturbance characteristics of the problem. The benefits of this method are shown for a fourth-order system.< >
