Tutorial 8 PDF

This document summarizes a tutorial on frequency response analysis. The first part describes three problems analyzing a process without and with PID control and the effectiveness of the controller. The second part provides generalizations on obtaining transfer function models and using frequency response to evaluate dynamic behavior with and without feedback control for periodic disturbances. It further discusses process stability and overdamping. The last part rates the tutorial an 8 out of 10.

Tutorial 8
Frequency Response
Description:
In this tutorial, S_LOOP is again used. This
is for analyzing closed-loop control
performance using frequency response. In
the first problem, solvent is recycled to the
reactor from downstream units, and
therefore, it experiences composition
variation. The process is analyzed without
control. The second problem is about
designing a PID controller to control Cc by
adjusting FA. The third problem deals about
the effectiveness of a controller in rejecting
a disturbance and at what frequency range
the feedback controller is effective.

Generalization:
Overall transfer function models can be
obtained by 1) expressing in deviation
variables from an initial steady state, 2)
substituting values for all parameters, 3)
taking the Laplace transform, and 4)
rearranging.
Frequency response enables us to evaluate
the dynamic behavior of process without and
with feedback control for periodic
disturbances. Frequency response is the
behavior of an output of a system to a sine
variation into to the system. We use
frequency response to learn how the
dynamic behavior of key variables depends
on the frequency of the (nearly) periodic
input variation.

A process is stable when the roots of the


transfer function denominator are negative.
This is also the negative real parts of a pole.
Through this, we can conclude that the
short-cut method for evaluating the
frequency response is valid. A process is
overdamped when the roots of the transfer
function denominator are real.
Frequencies much lower than the critical
frequency - Feedback control is usually
needed and it is effective in reducing the
effect of the disturbance. However, we
cannot be sure that it will be acceptable
without evaluating the performance, because
a disturbance with a large magnitude might
not be attenuated. Frequencies near the
critical frequency - Feedback control is
usually needed but it is not very effective.
Frequencies much higher than the critical
frequency Feedback control is usually not
needed because the process attenuates the
disturbances. Here, feedback does not affect
the dynamic behavior.
