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 ...

ISA recently published the third edition of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE. In this Q&A feature, Dr. Wade highlights the focus, ...

Since about 2015, when Don Bartusiak, the then chief engineer at ExxonMobil Research & Engineering, publicly advocated for the development of a new, standards-based, open—yet secure—process control ...

Currently, bioprocess monitoring and control systems rely on infrequent and time-consuming offline sampling methods. This can lead to loopholes in data and major gaps in knowledge, as well as ...

Develop a foundation of analytical mechanics and multiphysics modeling. Use individual and team exercises to build skills for a dynamic systems approach. Engineered systems increasingly must exploit ...

Industrial control systems have grown increasingly complex, requiring faster response times, more adaptability, and seamless integration with digital ...

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 ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Generative AI enables the exploration of multiple scenarios to refine automated system parameters in real-time and make industrial automation more accessible, efficient and aligned with specific ...
