Introduction

The course of Process Modeling is directed to provide a modern review of process parameter identification in process control engineering. Hence, it is important to learn parameters identification methods and process control systems. The objectives include equipping learners with (a) understanding of issues related to parameters identification including fundamental concepts, step input, relay feedback, time domain and frequency domain identification method; and (b) case studies in process parameter identification to enhance skills and techniques for tackling practical multivariable process control system design problems. . 

This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Computer Control and Automation
- FlexiMasters  in Computer Control and Automation

On completion of the course, the learners should be able to understand t he role and relevance of parameter identification in the practical field of industrial process control. Specifically, they will understand the modeling of processes and how to obtain the parameter in the design of  control systems. They will understand various identification methodologies applied to the process control systems. Extensive parameter  identification simulation projects and case studies will provide the learners with an insight into the actual application of modelling techniques in the  industry processes;

Open loop step input identification method


Basic concepts of process modelling, graphic method, two point method, log method, area method, least squares method, multivariable process  identification.

Closed-loop step input identification method

Least squares method, Fourier transformation, closed-loop identification in  time domain, closed-loop identification in frequency domain, recursive  identification method.

Relay feedback identification
