Foundations of Process Control Design using MATLAB

Effective process control is crucial for optimizing operations and ensuring safety in chemical engineering. This course provides a foundational understanding of process control principles and equips you with the skills to design, analyze, and implement control strategies for chemical processes using MATLAB. You will gain confidence in applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. What you'll learn: * Understand foundational principles of chemical process control. * Model dynamic process behavior for control system analysis. * Design and tune PID controllers for optimal performance using systematic methods. * Apply MATLAB to simulate, analyze, and implement control strategies. * Explore advanced control concepts like feedforward and cascade control. * Learn techniques for assessing control system robustness and stability. * Practice interpreting and applying metrics like Relative Gain Array (RGA) for interaction analysis. The course begins with core control theory, progresses through process modeling and controller design, and culminates in practical MATLAB applications and systematic analysis techniques. You will build knowledge incrementally, moving from theoretical concepts to hands-on practice. This course is for chemical engineering students, recent graduates, or professionals new to process control who want to build a strong foundation in designing and analyzing control systems. No prior experience in process control or MATLAB is required. Begin your journey to mastering process control design today.
