Improvement in the Performance of Online Control Applications via Enhanced Modeling Techniques

Modern process control is based on process modeling. Advanced process control (APC), real time optimization (RTO), process monitoring, operator training simulation, abnormal situation management (ASM) and fault detection and isolation (FDI) are all based on some kind of process modeling. Models are a very effective way to embed “knowledge” in process automation, which has increased its “autonomy” level, growing more and more from “reactive” to “proactive” [1], [2].
