ME4718 Assignment bullet points 2020 V1 Dr Hassan Kaghazchi

Topic Marks
1.Plant selection (15%)
 Select a minimum of 2 input, 2 output system. Explain the operation of
the plant. Derive the transfer function matrix for the system.

2.Develop the Bristol Relative Gain RGA (5%)
 Calculate the RGA for the system, to verify the pairing of controlled
variables with manipulated variables.

3.Design single loop PID controllers (5%)
 For each loop design PI or PID controller for each loop separately.
Tune each loop by a method of your choice(Reaction curve,
continuous cycling, simulation, etc). Select PID/PI parameters that
minimises ISE for set point change for each loop.

4.Design decouplers for PID loops (5%)
 Design dynamic/ static decouplers to minimise/ eliminate interaction
between two loops.

5.Performance Comparison (5%)
Calculate ISE and contrast the performance of different controllers
developed for set-point & disturbance change.

6. Loop stability (5%)
 Evaluate the stability of each loop for both PID controllers

7.Discussion, Conclusions (5%)
