This book presents comprehensive information on the relay
auto-tuning method for unstable systems in process control
industries, and introduces a new, refined Ziegler-Nichols method
for designing controllers for unstable systems. The relay
auto-tuning method is intended to assist graduate students in
chemical, electrical, electronics and instrumentation engineering
who are engaged in advanced process control. The book’s main
focus is on developing a controller tuning method for scalar and
multivariable systems, particularly for unstable processes. It
proposes a much simpler technique, avoiding the shortcomings of
the popular relay-tuning method. The effects of higher-order
harmonics are incorporated, owing to the shape of output
waveforms. In turn, the book demonstrates the applicability and
effectiveness of the Ziegler-Nichols method through simulations
on a number of linear and non-linear unstable systems, confirming
that it delivers better performance and robust stability in the
presence of uncertainty. The proposed method can also be easily
implemented across industries with the help of various
auto-tuners available on the market. Offering a professional and
modern perspective on profitably and efficiently automating
controller tuning, the book will be of interest to graduate
students, researchers, and industry professionals alike.
