Any talk of model-based predictive control (MPC) still conjures up images of dollar or euro signs in the minds of many engineers. For in the past, MPC and other forms of advanced process control (APC) ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a leading strategy in advanced process control, offering the ability to anticipate future process behaviour and manage constraints in dynamic systems.

A new technique able to forecast how changes to parameters will impact biomanufacturing processes could revolutionize drug production, save manufacturers time and money, and help increase access to ...

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a versatile and robust strategy in modern control engineering, enabling controllers to predict future system behaviour and optimise performance over a ...

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Today’s ac servo systems are much different than those built even 10 years ago. Faster processors and higher resolution encoders are enabling manufacturers to implement amazing advances in tuning ...

Bruce Slusser from Avanceon highlights how AI improves model predictive control (MPC) systems by increasing predictive accuracy and enabling real-time optimization of complex processes. The ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

Each year a panel reviews papers nominated from the past two years and selects an article of high significance. The paper, published in 2022, describes the first experimental implementation of Model ...

In order for wind turbines to function effectively across wide ranges of wind conditions, you’ll need what’s known as blade pitch control. Lucy Pao, the Palmer Endowed Chair Professor in the ...
