Developed Software
The Performance Assessment Technolgies and Solutions (PATS) suite of programmes was developed to provide the ability to monitor control loops performance and determine the root cause of performance degradation. As well, PATS allows the user to determine the economic benefit of improving the control of a given control loop. The following programmes have been written to achieve these objectives.
- UVPA
- MVPA
- Stiction Detection
- Valve Stiction Compensation
- Economic performance assessment
- Data-driven performance assessment
- Minimum variance and LQG benchmarking
- Closed-loop identification of step response model
