Control Strategy Designer Skill

Purpose

The Control Strategy Designer Skill develops process control strategies including control structure selection, loop configuration, and regulatory control system design.

Capabilities

• Control objective identification
• Controlled variable selection
• Manipulated variable pairing
• Control structure synthesis
• Cascade and ratio control design
• Feedforward control design
• Split-range control configuration
• Override and selector control

Usage Guidelines

When to Use

• Developing control strategies
• Configuring control loops
• Designing regulatory control
• Evaluating control alternatives

Prerequisites

• Process P&IDs available
• Control objectives defined
• Process dynamics understood
• Operating modes identified

Best Practices

• Address controllability early
• Consider all operating modes
• Plan for disturbance rejection
• Document control philosophy
