Control loop performance-monitoring software can help to improve loop performance at electric power plants by automatically collecting data, assessing several aspects of loop performance, and ...

Some plants have 30 percent or more of their control loops in manual control mode. Being in manual mode does not necessarily mean the control loop performs poorly in automatic control mode.

Monitoring Control Loop Performance. Digital leader ABB provides Enel Green Power with predictive software for sustainable hydro operations. ABB – Improving Plant Performance with Digital Technology ...

Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

A machine learning approach leverages nuclear microreactor symmetry to reduce training time when modeling power output ...

Mark Coughran, a senior process control consultant with Emerson Process Management, has optimized the performance of control loops in 84 process plants around the world. Typical results include ...

Electric power plant controls have made tremendous advances over the years. In the early 1970s, distributed control systems, smart instruments and real time data were not available to plant operators.

Staff sizes of engineering groups charged with control loop management have shrunk by about 40 percent over the past 10 years, Miller estimates. According to recent Honeywell surveys, plant engineers ...

Half of all PID control loops will suffer performance degradation within their first year. So whether it's a loop in a motion drive or a refinery application, new intelligent tools can help ...
