Knowledge: The students should know about systematic methods for design of plantwide control systems with emphasis on the structural decision: What to control and measure and how to pair the variables? The knowledge includes structure, controller design and supervision of the various layers, including the stabilizing base layer, the supervisory multivariable layer and the optimization layer. The students should have knowledge about controllability analysis of multivariable systems. Skills: The students can design a control structure for the entire plant based on systematic methods and can simulate alternative strategies. They can perform a controllability analysis of the plant in order to find the parts where controller design needs particular attention General competence: The students have a background in the area of plantwide control that make them able to assess and understand existing and emerging results and theories within the field as a background for further research.
