SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
“Enhancing Energy Efficiency through Process Fluctuation Assessment and Control System Optimisation”
– Latest Developments & Case Studies –
Purpose: Fluctuations are efficiency limiting anomalies in any process plant. Operational settings are initialized and parameters are best set during commissioning/upgradation. These settings do not stay optimum due to changing process conditions and hence most processes do not run stable or efficient in AUTO mode. Equipment malfunctioning, unsettling feeders/actuator operations, sub-optimal control systems, large dead times, restricting operational limits, external disturbances are some of the reasons for fluctuations in process output, energy consumption, product quality, emission levels and so on. Hence it is important for all the process/instrumentation engineers to continuously monitor the performance and tune the control systems for optimum performance. This program aims to provide basic training and develop skills for the fluctuation assessment and mitigation.
