  9. Department of Chemical Engineering at NTNU • 20 full-time academic staff • 60 Ph.D. students • 70 Master students annually

  10. Research and faculty • There are six main research areas in the department: • Polymer and colloid chemistry • Catalysis and petrochemistry • Process systems engineering (Skogestad, Preisig) • Reactor technology and CFD (Svendsen) • Separation technology • Pulp and paper technology Ugelstad particles

  11. Process control groupat Department of Chemical Engineering Professor Sigurd Skogestad • Marius Govatsmark • Audun Faanes • Hilde Engelien • Stathis Skouras • Espen Storkaas • Vidar Alstad • Federico Zenith • Heidi Sivertsen • Antonio Brandao • Elvira Aske • Jens Strandberg • Jørgen B. Jensen • Eduardo Hori (visiting Ph.D. student from Brasil)

  12. Research: Develop simple yet rigorous methods to solve problems of engineering significance. • Use of feedback as a tool to • reduce uncertainty (including robust control), • change the system dynamics (including stabilization), • generally make the system more well-behaved (including self-optimizing control). • limitations on performance in linear systems, • control structure design and plantwide control, • interactions between process design and control, • distillation column design, control and dynamics. • Natural gas processes

  13. Optimal operation in practice: • "The goal is to find a self-optimizing control structure where acceptable operation under all conditions is achieved with constant setpoints for the controlled variables."

  14. Self-optimizing Control – Illustrating Example • Optimal operation of Marathon runner, J=T • Any self-optimizing variable c (to control at constant setpoint)? • c1 = distance to leader of race • c2 = speed • c3 = heart rate • c4 = level of lactate in muscles

  15. Group work • Main objective: Suggest collaborative research project(s) for the “new” Ph.D. students in your group. Should be possible to include in Ph.D. thesis. • Topic should be such that a paper can be finished within 5 months (Feb. 2003) • For each project make a transparency with: Title: …………………….. Suggest names or desired background (at least two people from different groups) (e.g., Elvira Aske + one from Bolland’s group) Short abstract:……….. • Extra task (one transparency each): Ideas for seminars, social events, etc. for the Natural Gas Systems Group
