In new energy battery manufacturing, consistency is not just a quality goal—it is a safety requirement. As battery systems ...

Part two of this three-part series reveals control technology concepts to reduce process variability and increase profitability ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

Technology progression within advanced process control (APC) continues to evolve; however, it is the relationship among core APC developments, enabling technologies, and management practices that is ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Honeywell and Danfoss are partnering to integrate variable frequency drive (VFD) technology with Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System platform to streamline motor control, reduce energy ...

Poor control performance makes itself evident primarily when a controlled variable (process variable) deviates excessively from its target value (set point). Excessive and/or unnecessary deviations ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...
